Eat My Shatkins

Mariners had a 6-1 lead heading to the 8th inning, gave up 1 in the 8th and 5 in the top of the 9th and are now losing. Now finish them off Braves bullen.

Aaah Can't wait to watch White pitch against the Rays lol

Feels good to take 3/4 from that s*** bag organization on their home turf at a critical time

lol you first spanky, I didn't start this drama you did

They're going to have to turn White starts into bullpen days. f***ing useless bum

I don't give a f*** who or what you're referencing. I was having a little rant, wasn't talking to you You decided to pipe up and tell me obvious s*** any idiot already knows I told you to f*** off and leave me be You started with the name calling Why don't you just f*** off and leave me be then? "Meat"

What's wrong with my post? I can't get pissed off because every time that f***ing useless bum takes the mound he gets his s*** pushed in? I can't have a rant without you piping up like a moron and telling me obvious s*** I already know? STFU Spanky lol

Shut yer f***ing pie hole for once there captain obvious.

I didn't f***ing say they were did I?

Just dropped by to say Mitch White f***ing sucks Should have just kept Castillo for f*** sakes. Why does this rotation always have to have a useless automatic loss batting practice pitcher? /rant f***ing useless piece of s*** okay now /rant

Phew. Hendriks gets the save. M's lose

That was a massive double header sweep. Nice job Jays

Yeah, Lawrence is a "long man" but why should that matter if he f***ing sucks? lol Pretty baffling call up with Pop and Merryweather apparently healthy and ready. I'd even rather see any of Hernandez, Eisert, Gage, Saucedo or Thornton ahead of Lawrence too.

Small sample size of 62 ABs but Gabriel Martinez is putting up better numbers at high than low A so far. Had a double and a homer today, OPS over 1.000

Exactly. I posted this a few posts up. Massive underperformance from three key core players that no one expected when the season started. That's really the difference. Now the question is will they bounce back next season and beyond?

Missing the playoffs would be brutal, especially with the extra WC, but I wouldn't be overreacting and firing anyone just yet. There was some pretty big career years last season, but now this season some of the players might be having abnormally unproductive seasons, and nobody on the roster is having a surprisingly "good" season save for maybe Gausman, but even he has been unlucky as hell when it comes to final results. Vlad at 2.9 fWAR? Bo at 2.3 fWAR? Berrios at 0.5 fWAR? The team is set up for a 2 year run as it is right now (with some off season tweaking). I'd let that play out and hope that the players can make the necessary adjustments, along with a couple of tweaks on the roster that will hopefully vault them to legit contender level. If they haven't found success after the 2023 season, then I'd be looking to make some major changes from top to bottom.

Might as well burn his few healthy innings in AAA haha

I've gotten to the point where I keep forgetting about Pearson lol Maybe one of these years he will stay healthy and surprise the s*** out of all of us by being a key contributer.

I'd say the Jays are well on their way to having a very deep team next year. The bullpen is really deep now and they won't lose anyone but Phelps, plus guys like Juenger and Hernandez will likely be contributors. The only starter they lose is Stripling, unless they bring him back and guys like Zulu and Tiedemann should be debuting next season while lurking in AAA as strong depth. Position players will all be back too, and the only bench guy without control is JBJ. So all the starters, plus utility guys like Espinal, Biggio and Merrifield in the fold and they still have the 3 deep catching monster at their disposal to utilize uow they see fit. So the only real weakness going into next season is the rotation, but it will at least stillbe anchored by Gausman and Manoah at the top. Then you need Berrios refind his consistency and fill the last two spots from White, Kikuchi, Zulu, Tiedemann, free agency or trade. Pretty good spot to be in if you ask me, going into next season. Hopefully they make it this season though, and make some noise in the playoffs. Don't want another missed playoffs hanging over the teams heads weighing them down.

Angels are useless f***s

Merryweather, Pop, Juenger and Hernandez all pitched for Buffalo today. Combined they had 5 IP, 0 runs, 1 hit, 3 BBs, 6 Ks Got some bullpen depth now it seems (although I realize Juenger and Hernandez have never pitched in MLB yet) One more dicey outing from Kikuchi and they should probably end that experiment because we clearly have better options in AAA

lol

It's nice that Kikuchi came back and mowed the Yankees down after the 1st two batters got on base. He could be a weapon out of the pen if he gets comfy out there.

Beauty!
