Blue Jays Discussion: The official Danny Jackson Appreciation Society

[Eyedea]

94 is an average MLB fastball.

What do you think Bassitt, Berrios, and Gausman throw? Like I said, it plays up in the pen (94-97) and he has a plus curveball and a variety of other pitches to help induce weak contact. Just because he was unlucky last year with BABIP doesn't mean he can't provide Stripling-esque value. Plus he's athletic and in shape!

One last warning about politics or off topic posts. They will be deleted and you will.be banned from the thread. We aren't going down that road for a 4th time. 3 was enough and political posts are against the rules.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out

Also, Bass has the right to refuse assignment.

I think he's a candidate to bounce back if he goes somewhere else, but that's not happening here.

Regardless of the side you're on, we can all agree the Jays did a piss poor job of handling this whole situation...like Mickey Mouse amateur hour level bad.

SF Giants need help in the pen

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Good riddance. He was awful, even with the fluke stretch in May

 

[Blitzkrug]

I'm not going to entice the flames of political discourse since I'm kinda tired of it.

All im going to say is: good.

Now let's focus on dumpstering the Twins.

Since Tampa's pen is bad, i bet Bass goes there.

Maybe I should put my name in too in case they want to do a piggyback system. I can't throw that hard and only have a terrible fastball, more terrible change, even more terrible splitter, and a sinker that wouldn't reach the plate. But I am left handed and throw from a low arm slot so it would work as a change of pace!

Now lets beat the Twins

He'll fit right in too.

 

[Tufted Titmouse]

I am just glad the whole distraction is over with.

Jays are cleaning out the dugout this week, moving Big Puma down to do some work away from the team, and getting rid off Bass.

Really enjoyable series against the Astros.

Weird how many times Nem has to state something 3 pages in, and people just can't help themselves.

I wonder how Manoah's head is doing right now. Unless one humbles themselves completely, it's nearly impossible to facilitate lasting change.

At this point, he needs to sacrifice a chicken. Or at least get himself a bucket.

Standard reminder warning that we're not going down the Bass rabbit hole of socio-political arguments again. Keep it on topic. Referencing what happened with Bass is fine but no soapboxing or editorializing. EDIT: "slapping" was supposed to be soapboxing. I have no idea what autocorrect was thinking there.

you trying to slap Anthony Bass?

I slap da Bass, big time

I'm not too comfortable with White at this point and wouldn't be surprised if Bass pitches well the rest of the way, but I'm happy with this decision. Bass was getting the lowest leverage innings on the team anyway. White will be the 8th man up out of the pen, and at least he can go multiple innings if he can get it together a bit.

Wouldn’t he be a guy that can eat up innings if you’re getting blown out so you save some bullpen arms? Also, if something happens tonight he can go a few innings saving Francis for tomorrow.

He should be much better able to do that than Bass, for sure. But at this point I wouldn't have cared if they just ran Bass out there and told him they need 3 innings out of him, so I guess it doesn't make that much difference in that way.

Oh they Jays got rid of him? He will get snatched up pretty quick.
