Blue Jays Discussion: 2024 Season - Complete without a great title in keeping with the performance

[Nineteen67]

Athletes are overrated, fat guys who can't run is where we've cornered the market.

I’m waiting for one of the bench guys to comment about not being fat enough when asked about playing time.

Hey guys that run the blue jays….

Get a new hitting coach.

Tiedemann didn't get out of the 2nd and walked 4. 0 K's, 2 runs, 1 hit.

Vogelbach sure has a case! lol.

Spencer Strider is getting an MRI on his elbow. Velo and control way off today.

So many injuries to pitchers. Will suck for the Braves if it’s Tommy John.

Former Blue Jay, Jordan Hicks, so far so good in his first season as a starter in San Francisco. Only 27-years-old, and signed for 11M x 4.

2 games:

5ip 3h 0er 1bb 6so
7ip 5h 1er 0bb 5so

Unfortunately I get the feeling Pitchers are disposable, like the running back.

Both games against the Padres, too, so it wasn't exactly a garbage lineup.

I watched the highlights and he was still hitting 98-99 in the 5th-6th inning. His stuff looked nasty. I don't think his repertoire is as deep, but it reminds me of when the Jays converted Escobar into a starter in his last few years after largely being a relief pitcher (he was our closer early in his career).

My questions would be less about whether he’s capable of getting results as a starter short-term - obviously his stuff is nasty - and more about how long his arm will last before he needs another TJS.

Bonus Pools For 2025 International Signing Period

The 2024 international signing window is still open until December 15, but the 30 MLB teams have long been making …

The Jays will have $6,261,600 in bonus pool money to spend for the 2025 IFA market.

Chad Dallas gave up 6 runs in 4 innings. Will Robertson with his 2nd HR of the year. He's off to a scorching start. Hasn't been on the radar for a while but maybe he might have some MLB upside who knows.

Cade Doughty playing for Dunedin tonight. Not sure if its a rehab thing or they want him back there for a while.

Barriera is starting. Gave up a run but he touched 97mph.

Yikes

Given the body type the Jays seem to prefer, I assume Licourt is the gentleman on the left?

Ugly outing from Manoah

Guy is cooked. Legit is sad to see happen. On a less shitty note Nimmala looks like he might be a legit top 50 prospect. Kid can mash.

One plus is his velocity is fine. Will need a lot more time in the minors though. Control is way off.

Nimmala is looking like a great pick.

Remember when we didn't want to sell low on Manoah? He looks to be on his way to the Salvation Army bin now.

Too bad Mel Queen isn't around anymore. RIP.
