Tapia is hot garbage! We need someone who resembles a hitter.

He's been our ace - low pitch count and desperately wanting to go back out / and Charlie says no way?!

Stupid decision by Montoyo and Walker if he had a say. Defend your guy and save the pen for tomorrow.

I missed the end of the game so I didn't see the context, but even if the decision to pull Manoah was dumb, he needs to suck it up and not throw a fit like a spoiled little kid. You have a problem with what the manager did? You be a goddamn adult and deal with it in his office away from the cameras.

i remember we had a few quite upset we didn't grab conforto or turner instead. along with a few others prospects people were higher on just shows you how much of a gamble the draft was a lot of the time
all we got for ours was a broken down tulo and a half armed hawkins i was just suprised to see him had no idea he had got traded/signed by the reds
it is quite scary to see how much improved our scouting and developmental program has become over the last 6 years

Yeah I was pretty high on getting a combo of Hoffman/Turner/Pentecost/Toussaint but in the end it is a complete gamble. Now we have a perennial 3+ win guy in Chapman who was a late 1st that year.

4 out of 5. Offense still sucks
Gotta sweep the Reds before the schedule gets tough again (@ STL, @LAA)

Manoah can't convince Blue Jays to let him go for complete game in win vs. Reds - Sportsnet.ca
TORONTO -- Alek Manoah had the best outing of his season on Saturday afternoon, allowing just one run over eight innings. The Toronto Blue Jays pitcher wanted more though, and thought he deserved a chance at a complete game since he had only thrown 83 pitches.
Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo disagreed.
The two had an animated conversation in Toronto's dugout as closer Jordan Romano came out of the bullpen, with pitching coach Pete Walker trying to smooth things over between Manoah and Montoyo.
Romano, from nearby Markham, Ont., got three quick strikeouts for his 14th save and the Blue Jays earned a 3-1 win over the Cincinnati Reds. After the game Manoah said that there were no hurt feelings.
"I think (Montoyo) understands how competitive I am,'' said Manoah (5-1), who gave up seven hits and struck out four. "Me as a competitor, I'm just doing my job. It's not every day you get to go do something like that."
"But we've got the best closer in baseball. He's doing his job and protecting me and we'll keep moving forward.''
Montoyo loved seeing Manoah's passion -- even if it was directed at him.
"I love the kid,'' he said. "It could be in the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, whenever, he never wants to come out and that's why he's so good.''
Montoyo said that having Romano, who is tied with Milwaukee closer Josh Hader for second-most saves in Major League Baseball behind San Diego reliever Taylor Rogers (15), made his decision easy.

Aquino is the guy to point to whenever someone says it couldn't get any worse than having Bradley Zimmer on the roster.
And of course he gets a hit here
