In school and minor leagues, he always had a good AVG, in MLB he can be a .275-.300+ AVG

He doesn't really need more power, he need to continue hit the ball like he do so far, but he need to use his speed a lot more often, so many single and BB, will become double.

This look like 3 loss, unless Scherzer still have the eyes of tiger. But Spag and Tail are cooked, they barely can reach the 4 inning.

Bieber was already injured and without his player option, they won't have bring him back. Francis and Bloss? Many fans forgot their existence, and those who didn't, know they arent good enough to be part of the team who almost win the WS. Berrios everyone wanted him out before the beginning of the season. Taillon is one of the garbage pitcher Atkins bring, so he won't have helped the team much, except give less inning to Straw. Pounce was a bet, so no one know what he can do in the MLB. The real annoyance was Yesevage injuries, because he was top 3 in the SP rotation, and we have great expectations about him.

All the garbages he bring to replace these guys. Most of these pitchers was injured at the beginning of the spring training, so Atkins had enough time to fix things before all star games.

Yes Murakami is a better hitter than Okamoto, but Okamoto can play 3B/1B , no just DH, and with Springer in the lineup, Vlad at 1B and Santander on the payroll, Jays didn't had open DH spot at the beginning of the season. It's why they choose to sign Okamoto, instead of Murakami

It's time to fire Atkins and Shapiro, and bring new front office with different mindset

It's no really the fault of JS if Atkins give him a bunch of shity garbages pitchers that are far away to be MLB caliber. And I didn't mention the awful offensive players Atkins bring to help the team finish amongst the worst MLB teams offensively.

He can request to be traded anytime during the offseason😉

Better draft early, than reach the playoff, and be easilly eliminate, with 0 chances have a matchup with the Dodgers again in WS

With such offensive, and all the SP injured, this lineup won't have stay long in the playoff

In my opinion Little is more a baseball pitching machine than a usefull reliever. Even if he was able throw with his right and left hand or his left toe, he will still be useless.

I never thought i will have said such, but we miss Hoffman:lol

JS need to be fired too. If our manager was Cash, Roberts or Vogt, do they will have prevented Straw and Bateman try stealing 2B and use Little for the 7 and 8 inning?

I doubt Tiedemann can be a SP again, PW should work with him and make him become our best left handed reliever.
