Can't believe we kept him over moreno

You’re assuming there was a choice. Varsho was a great add. We all hoped it would be Kirk going but they may not have been interested in him

 

[Eyedea]

Did a quick check and Kirk has a 118 wRC in the month of May. That's really good.

The problem is the older players on the team. Springer, KK, and Turner have sucked. I didn't like the Turner signing and he's been worse than I thought, KK wasn't needed. Vogelbach needed to go 8 weeks ago. As has been said many times by you and others, it's still mind-boggling they don't give the younger hitters a chance.

This team could be so much more fun and competitive but management backed themselves into a corner. I don’t even blame them for the lack of moves in the offseason. I blame them for the lack of meritocracy.

 

[Discoverer]

If you gave me a choice between Moreno and Kirk going forward right now I'd take Moreno and it wouldn't be particularly close.

Sure, especially with the added control. But in terms of performance they've been almost identical since the trade.

Eh, OPS+ of 100 for Moreno vs. 89 for Kirk. Both excellent defensively.

Not a massive gulf but Moreno has certainly been better. Especially factoring in his strong playoffs last year.

I don't know why they are forcing JT to hit 5th. IKF is hot, hit him 5th and drop JT down to 7th or 8th till he gets hot again

Turner leads the team with a 172 wRC+ against LHP this season, and a lefty is starting for the Pirates tonight.

IKF has also been good against LHP this season, but only a 117 wRC+ which is much lower in comparison.

 

[The Nemesis]

The more I see the jerseys the more I think they're fine. Not great/amazing, but definitely better than most of the city connect jerseys.

The hat is still super lazy though. Would've been better to do a blue/red outline version of the regular Jays logo so it looked like a neon sign.

 

[hoglund]

The uniforms are too dark, I think grey pants with the dark jersey would be better.

Ah ok, I posted before realizing Falter was a lefty. Yes, what you are saying makes sense. Thanks

 

[red devil]

Rowdy really having a rough year so far

Yeah the jerseys don't bother me at all. I do agree about the hat.

 

[The Nemesis]

$200 for a blank replica? Considering it's trashbag Fanatics merch?

Insanity.

 

[Suntouchable13]

If JB keeps pitching like this deep into the season, he might get a Cy Young vote or 2.

 

[Anthrax442]

I just turned on. Whats with playing in pyjamas?

 

[MK78]

No run support so far thru 5 innings for Berrios.

 

[trellaine201]

You sound so surprised.

 

[habamillions]

Pretty bad when jays go down 1 run you have no confidence the team come back. Tough year

 

[Anthrax442]

I think Bautista can probably still play better than Vogelfat and Turner

 

[canucksfan]

Chris Farley comes through

 

[On-the-Fly]

Dude standing around in center with his hands out looking lost is all it takes!

 

[The Nemesis]

Chris Farley comes through

If he didn't come through he'd be sent to live in a van down by the river. Maybe he'd be Daniel Norris' neighbor.

 

[The Nemesis]

How the hell is M Night Shamylan still allowed to make movies?

 

[Nineteen67]

Bring in the fire starter

 

[MK78]

Turner leadoff double in bot 9th. Now or never.

 

[Nineteen67]

Better score him.
