4 strikeouts in 2 innings. Isn't that what you've been clamoring for all season? The Jays have hit one ball hard and it left the yard. It was also their only fly ball that wasn't an infield fly or blooper. Ever pitcher would put up awful stats if teams had an .833 BABIP against them. Chen's gotten 6 outs. An foul pop up, a soft ground ball, and 4 strikeouts. The Jays have a horse shoe shoved in them somewhere it happens. They're 5-6 in BABIP and the O's are 0-5. The Jays have gotten as lucky as you can get offensively and defensively. That's not Chen's fault. They can still win this one. And Chen is still a good pitcher.

I love this line of thinking.

First inning Cabrera Reimold were good singles no luck. The hit with 2 outs that got the first run in was on our slow RF. A avg RF catches that and Blue Jays score 0.

2nd Inning Cabrera hard hit ball then the HR.

So please tell me how the Jays are getting lucky?

Hutchison had a near 8 ERA coming into this start at home on the season, a near 8 ERA in the last month, and a near 6 ERA against every team besides the Orioles. Against the Orioles he has given up 3 runs in 22 innings.

They can still comeback. Hutchison is quite bad. Doesn't mean they will but the potential for a comeback is definitely there. A Nelson Cruz and Adam Jones sighting would go a very long way.

I am totally dumbfounded that he's got as much rep as he does. I wish monkey list still worked, because I see his goofy posts even though he's on ignore because people love to quote the troll. He's allowed to troll because he's an O's fan, though.

It's the Twitter speed combined with the occasional quality post.

Kinda irrelevant though, the only rep indicator I pay attention to is the presence of red pips.

Fip over 4' date=' ERA at whatever it is, and doesn't really give you 6 innings that often. That's about average.[/quote']

100% True. Some folks just look at the 12 wins.

      Not disagreeing with your take, but Mateo has better speed, defense and mlb experience. His adaptation to 2b defense tells me he’s the better defender in 2024+   Will Holiday’s bat play in 2024? It is an open question.

      I don't have a problem dealing Kjerstad in the right deal. I don't have a problem dealing Basallo in the right deal.  I do have a problem losing both of them. You know?

      Where are the ABs for Mayo? Verse a lefty you have Hays/Santander/Mountcastle above him as a bat.  He's worse than them defensively.  There's abs for him at DH vs LHP. If you stop using it to rest Rutch. Are you ready to bring him up to do that and only that? Because there's not 200 abs in that role for the rest of the season. It's not about Mateo vs Holliday.  It's about Holliday didn't look ready to be playing in the MLs.  If 3 weeks in the MiLs can fix that, great.  I'm skeptical. As to what to trade, instead of just throwing out stupid descriptives, give me names.  Are you willing to trade Basallo?  Mayo? Kjerstad?  Because if not, then Stowers and Norby are about the best you have.

      Kjerstad is the best prospect we have that you can argue should be available in the right deal. The question is his defense and that could be enough to trade himself. I would rather keep him but should be available in the right deal.

      My bad.  He can make the roster I guess.  😁

      For the record, I hated giving him up, and felt he could have had a long-term role in this organization, and said that many, many times. That said, this is the game, and this team is highly unlikely to ever really regret it unless something very strange happens with Holliday. I totally understand the trade from the O's perspective, but a lot of how we feel about this trade long-term is going to be determined by a few starts in October.

      There are clearly at bats available for Mayo and let’s not get into this overrating Mateo stuff again.  You should have learned your lesson. He is doing well in a part time role and they are riding him playing well for the moment but Holliday is the clear better option and will be the obvious starter within 6 weeks.  And we all know this isn’t what Mateo really is. That has been proven. That said, he can have a role on this team and he is proving to be an asset, which is good to see. As for what to trade, I think that’s an awful take but it is what it is.  Some people are ok with hoping for the best and if that doesn’t work out, so be it.
