Blue Jays GDT: 2023 v8 | Tue, Aug 8 | @ CLE | 7:00pm ET/4:00pm PT | Kikuchi vs Bibee

[Cleetus]

Mountcastle lol

 

[Da Cool Rula]

Sigh....

 

[MS]

Using Espinal instead of Clement there is just dumb.

 

[canucksfan]

 

[jetsforever]

Mountcastle vs the jays is just insanity

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

Call up kids from the minors

Some of these guys have had way too much rope. This is a get it done league and a lot of these stiffs aren't getting it done

 

[CherryToke]

Using Espinal instead of Clement there is just dumb.

The only question is... what is the source of the dumb? Schneider? Analytic department? or maybe just the entire organization?

 

[shaner8989]

lol but but the offense has a good wRC and blah blah.

f*** that shit. This offense is a pos. I’ve said it all season. Stop fighting it. Stop posting bs stats. The entire lineup is garbage minus Bo

Hatch lol. Three shake off then gives up a bullet up the middle.

Why the f*** is this bum pitching?

Why the f*** does Schnieder still have a job

 

[canucksfan]

In a small sample size Clement has looked good but he’s hardly used.

Chapman overthinking there.

 

[shaner8989]

f*** this team.

 

[CabanaBoy5]

How can we not have improved on this offence at the TDL? Getting timely hits is not in the arsenal of most of these players, including our star Vladdy. Oh they’re good in padding their stats when we don’t need a clutch hit, but otherwise pitiful…and the sample size is big now!

 

[WhyYouHaveToBeMad]

if chapman wants anything over 20 mil a year let him walk

 

[Tufted Titmouse]

I kind of wish we could go back to bad defence but good hitting tbh.

I had a bad feeling about Chapman and he hasn't dissapointed. Wish we could have dealt him at the deadline.

if chapman wants anything over 20 mil a year let him walk

20?

lol. If anyone pays him anything close to that just for some defence, god bless em.


Unfortunately shatkins had his chance with the Siemen team and blew it. Instead, had 2 terrible deadlines in a row and traded away a bunch of good prospects for nothing.

Not sure why he still has control of this team. A promising era has turned into an expensive mediocre team and no farm.

Don’t say that. He had a good wRC in July and he’s the 20th best war player. Everyone on this team is amazing.

There weren’t many options available

 

[shaner8989]

Belt is hitting 2 in the lineup
Springer 4th

Think about that for a minute.

 

[WhyYouHaveToBeMad]

Man Cano and Bautitsta are nasty. If Orioles have a lead after 7th, it's pretty much game over

 

[Tufted Titmouse]

It sucks that Vlad has declined so much. His big year was the most excitement this org has had since the Bautista teams.

He's just a good 1B now. Not looking like a franchise talent anymore. 17th in WAR in the last 365 days amongst 1Bs.

The team is currently in the playoffs and in the last three years, they’ve made the playoffs twice. This year has been disappointing but the team isn’t mediocre. Furthermore, they picked up Berrios in the Semien year at the deadline.

Management has its flaws but they have been solid.

You sound like a Leafs fan - "hey we made the playoffs, that's enough right?". Meanwhile teams like Baltimore and soon the Red Sox just blow past us with their rebuilds. 2024 will be painful.

Not much of a quality rebuttal

 

[DFF]

1 hit from 2nd to 8th hitters

Awesome

 

[MS]

I normally think the criticism of Schneider is way over the top but I do not understand bringing in Hatch to basically let a 3-1 game disappear on you.

He also continues to use Espinal in pinch hitting situations when he sucks.

 

[HockeyThoughts]

I like how we threw in the towel in a 3-1 game by putting Hatch in the game. This was a truly pathetic game/series.
