Whatever else is going on with this team now, it might be worth it if the counterpoint is Vlad becoming what we thought he could/would.

disclosure: I'm not watching right now. My WHL team is playing so I switched to that with just phone alerts for the Jays.

The Jansen is unlucky stuff eventually wears out 3 years later. Maybe he just isn't a good hitter luck or not?

Welcome to the dark side sticky.

 

[TheMadHatTrick]

Roark’s pitches are so slow that the Royals hitters are consistently unable to wait for them to arrive and end up pulling them 450 feet just foul.

He's throwing fastballs at breaking ball speed.

I'll let you know when that ball lands.

Tanner Roark is making only 8 million less than Ryu. That's the difference between an ace and utter garbage?

 

[Marshy]

Anyone know what our injuries / 60 is this year (creative licence on a hockey board).

Biggio out now? Man I feel bad for the kids just getting into MLB with the amount of injuries the sport has now.

Admittedly I missed a couple innings in the middle because hockey (watching now that it's intermission) but have they said Biggio was pulled for an injury? It was speculated that maybe they just yanked him because it was 7-0 and he was fielding like someone taped a frying pan to his glove.

this is why it's tough to just go get pitchers in free agency. Because even the mediocre-to-bad guys still get paid.

If they can get Bo up that would be nice

I got an alert about it.

Those Blue Jays. Give everyone hope before they snuff it out. Just to make it hurt more.

Well that sucks. I'd like to think it's his glove hand and that explains why he looked like ass on balls coming pretty much right at him.

 

[Marshy]

Once you accept that they'll never be 100% healthy at any point ever ...it's fine.

lol ump.

 

[TF97]

Umpires and calling horrible strikes against the Blue Jays in high-leverage situations while in Kansas City.

That’s a genuine option for that “name a more iconic duo” trend.

Blue Jays and disappointment.


I've made myself sad now.

 

[Marshy]

Vladdy had to swing at anything after that horseshit call. Oh well get 'em tomorrow.

 

[CherryToke]

Ump should be banned from the league

 

[Jozay]

Get these robo umps asap.

Completely f***ed vladdy with that call

 

[TF97]

Blue Jays and disappointment.


I've made myself sad now.

Blue Jays and arm injuries.

Drabek-Morrow-Hutchison in 2012 for example.

...more sadness

I wish MLB.com's gamecast/box scores let you go back and pull up the results of an at bat that's over (in a game that's over) to see the pitch sequence. I wanted to look at how they showed Vlad's PA to see what the official tracking made of that crappy fake strike call.

Thanks. Where does that come from?
