I’m still getting over the decision to use Joe Panik as a pinch-hitter for Jansen instead of Kirk.

It’s basically choosing to play Homer Simpson over Darryl Strawberry to get the lefty-righty matchup.

This is why Montoyo is terrible. But he is a yes man for Atkins and Shap so they like him. That's my feeling, anyway.

To make matters worse if the Jays had tied it up or went ahead they would need to insert Kirk into the game anyways.

If this team is serious about improving their defense and not appeasing their stars.
Bo will switch to 2nd base and Vladdy will DH when Tellez is in the starting lineup.

I think at times fans overrate the things they can see (small on-field decisions) and underrate things they can't see (keeping a happy cohesive locker-room, man-management, working well with players behind the scenes on a day-to-day basis) and the result is you get fans screaming that the manager sucks because he made the slightly wrong small decision, while ignoring the bigger picture.

But some of the decisions Montoyo makes are just mindnumbingly stupid and don't speak to his being someone who has a competent grip on what's happening on the field in front of him. I try to like Montoyo and then you see something like this and it's just like ... WTF. And it probably didn't cost the team the game today, but when you make 15 or 20 of those decisions over the course of a season, it will start to cost you games.

OPS vs. RH pitching, 2020 :

Joe Panik : .590
Danny Jansen : .789
Alejandro Kirk : 1.265 (albeit obviously in a small sample size)

15 or 20? He's on pace for 243 after two games. He makes Green look like a smart man (well maybe not)

He is good for the latino players we have so I can stomach him for now. We'll see if the mind numbingly stupid decisions will cost us in the long run.
 
Nice thing about the Jays catchers is that no matter who is playing, at the very least, they will have good at bats.
