Blue Jays Discussion: Everyone's hurt, but some are starting to make returns

Not a bad idea. Gives him a few days off.

I know that RBIs are a junk stat and all, but I’ll allow it in this case.

I finally figured out who Alejandro Kirk reminds me of...

A cross between Liev Schreiber...

...and that nameless bully from early-years Simpsons.

Do you shake up the infield defense at some point? Put Semien back to short Biggio back to 2nd and move Bichette to 3rd? The infield defense is a serious issue.

Bo at 3rd? With his noodle arm? Hell no.

I really don't think his issue is arm strength at all honestly. He clearly has more arm then Biggio anyway. You know Semien can play short and that Biggio is decent at 2nd. I will take the gamble on Bo being a better 3B then he is a shortstop.

Start a Montoya firing petition

Guys just pathetic. Zero baseball Iq. Doesn’t know his players. Doesn’t read the game. Doesn’t understand situational baseball. Just a f***ing trash manager

I guess, but I have seen too many throws that bounced in front of Vlad from Bo this season. Maybe I am wrong about his arm strength, though.

You’re correct. The issue with Bo seems to be mental from what I’m seeing. When he has time to ‘think’ on a ball hit at him (whether it’s softly hit or taking multiple bounces) he seems to boot it. Putting him at third where he has less time to think, given the reactionary nature of the position, could benefit him, especially since he has the arm for it.

For the first time since the Astros' 2013 realignment, the American League West standings spell out the word ASSHAT.

I agree, yesterday's errors especially Biggio's were very costly.

Booooring.

Ohtani has almost twice as many PA as a batter than he has batters faced as a pitcher.

deGrom has 11 PA as a batter and 101 batters faced as a pitcher.

Just checked and Soto will be out for the whole series against the Jays. That's a huge plus.

 

[HuGort]

Borucki throwing 97, think he will be starter again?

 

[TheMadHatTrick]

Maybe out of necessity if guys get injured, but if he's starting he wont be throwing 97mph. He'll probably sit 92-93 and touch 95.

Not sure if you guys have seen True Detective season 1 but he reminds me of the killer.

Jansen needs to go down. To find his game

Arizona played Atlanta today. Two 7 inning games today.

First game: complete game shut out, no hits given up by Madison Bumgardner. 7 inning perfect game.

Second game: complete game shut out, 1 hit given up by Zac Gallen. 2 walks and the 1 hit was a single.

I think Gallen went first, but that's just nitpicky and doesn't changes how cool it is, obviously.

Bumgarner's would go as a no-hitter rather than a perfect game because of an error. I wonder how many guys have missed a real perfect game because of an error.

How many times do I have to say I'm sorry?

Why are RBI's a junk stat?
