Who would you prefer they brought into a blowout game, the (very) few good RPs we have?


We were down 4 runs when Gausman got pulled in the 4th against the 3rd worst team in baseball.

Our roster has been constructed by idiots but surely there is a better bulk option than Paolo Espino floating around somewhere.

Our 3 best hitters this season:

Turner 350/460/1035
Biggio 324/419/878
IKF 294/368/721

Lol the point being is this team is awful. Espino shouldn't be on a major league roster and Mitch White will be waived sooner rather than later with him being out of options. So happy that we traded Frasso for him.

The fact that we've started the season where going down 4 runs is game over is a pretty good indicator of where this team is going to be sitting in September.

We'll be able to use IKF shortly

Our FO has employed Charlie Montoyo and John Schneider as it's managers. If that isn't grounds for dismissal by itself then I don't know what is.

Also other than Berrios/Kikuchi/Yimi the pitching has been awful too.

He's probably a full-out bust but I could still quite easily imagine him going elsewhere with a FO/coaching staff that knows what it is doing and getting him to replicate what he was doing in 2021.

Nah, hes a mental midget. No amount of coaching or change in scenery will fix low IQ and childish behavior.

David Ortiz career would be fitting for Vladdy Jr.

Watch him rake in Boston

2 runs all game off guys with a career 6+ ERA combined, better keep Davis on the bench tomorrow again

Kiermaier's decline is gonna be steep

And nice of them to bring Davis and Ernie in for garbage time because you know they'll be back on the bench tomorrow

We couldn't come back against a little league team. Absolutely no fight at all. Embarassing performance

Return to Toronto Blue Jays
