Three games in a no PT for Schneider. Why is he on this roster? He'd be far better off making his adjustments in Buffalo. Probably best for him to be as far away from Guillermo as possible.

He’s clearly been determined to be a platoon player for this team and they haven’t faced a LHP yet. He’ll be in tomorrow

Votto is done, Vogelbach is significantly better

I don't disagree, but the fact that we're counting on Vogelback as an impact bat speaks volumes to the state of this lineup.

Far too early to declare him a platoon player, IMO. It would be far better to have him in Buffalo playing every day.

I’m just telling you what is clearly his place on the team, not that it is the correct place.

And you obviously wouldn’t be better off having him in Buffalo, let’s be serious.

No clue why Serven is hitting in this spot lol

rarefind · Post #188 » by **rarefind** » Sat Mar 30, 2024 10:10 pm

John Schneider is already in mid-season form.

Lateral Quicks · Post #189 » by **Lateral Quicks** » Sat Mar 30, 2024 10:11 pm

Hard to believe Serven is the best 3rd string catcher we could find.

Randle McMurphy · Post #190 » by **Randle McMurphy** » Sat Mar 30, 2024 10:11 pm

Only reason not to hit Kirk there is because he’s hurt

Michael Bradley · Post #191 » by **Michael Bradley** » Sat Mar 30, 2024 10:12 pm

Serven hitting in that spot instead of Kirk is ridiculous.

Lol Serven isn’t the issue

Randle McMurphy · Post #193 » by **Randle McMurphy** » Sat Mar 30, 2024 10:14 pm

The Jays care so little about winning these games that they can’t have Kirk catch for 2 innings on his off day.

Not a serious org

Michael Bradley · Post #194 » by **Michael Bradley** » Sat Mar 30, 2024 10:18 pm

Yeah I really don't see how this is a playoff team, unless the pitching can replicate what they did last season, which will be very tough. Not enough good hitters, and the org doesn't seem to know how to optimize the talent they do have (ex. Schneider against RHP in 2023: .846 OPS in the Majors (87 PA) and 1.011 OPS in AAA (363 PA), so using him as a platoon player only facing lefties is ridiculous).

Oh were actually gonna play Turner at 3rd? Lmao

Madvillainy2004 · Post #196 » by **Madvillainy2004** » Sat Mar 30, 2024 10:25 pm

Pretty dumb by Cabrera to do 2 half ***ed throw overs to give Randy an easy steal lol.

Should honestly do that every time in the Kikuchi and Gausman starts when you’re more likely to get strikeouts and flyballs

Lol Genesis

Madvillainy2004 · Post #199 » by **Madvillainy2004** » Sat Mar 30, 2024 10:28 pm

Turner at 3rd base is a disaster lol

again this team can't manufacture runs with RISP. 1 for 7 so far today.
