8/7 @Toronto

[Moose Milligan]

Kevin Brown doing exchange rates between US and Canada, y’all. 

[slakattack]

Lose Mountain, Brad, Means, Tyler, Danny, now Grod and go ahead and subtract Mateo. Hays, and Westy then reset  Mullins to 2021 and you end up with an average team, not a 1st place team - has nothing to do with Hyde.

There is exactly 1 amazing hitter and 1 competent hitter on the Blue Jays. And they have 8 baserunners already. Not even through 4. Rogers has been a disaster.

Ok, so has literally every guy we picked up been bad so far? At some point you have to wonder how it's possible for this much to go wrong this season. We probably have lost a year of our contending window (which may be 3-5 more years with cheap talent) due to factors outside of our control. Bad injuries, guys regressing once we get them, and bad cold streaks by hitters. 

Zach Eflin was good.

I was hoping I could find some optimistic signs and hold off on criticizing Rogers, but I don't see him lasting much longer. I hope I'm wrong 

[Roy Firestone]

Rogers is lousy. I tried giving him some benefit of the doubt...but he's just NOT good. Bad trade...

[TopGunnar]

lol can’t do anything but laugh at these guys. Rogers is a complete dud. He’s an older Povich.

No fire, no passion! Hyde needs to be ripping heaters in the dugout and yelling at umpires every night and getting thrown out of games all the time so we know his heart is really in this! Why, if every manager was like Earl Weaver and Billy Martin, we could just sit back and easily be able to tell whether or not they had passion and fire!

Blaaaaarrrggggh! Passion and fire would make Coby Mayo better at defense! 

 

You just like to argue sarcastically don't you?  Bored?

Sometimes people/fans can say things and actually be correct about their analysis without their constructive criticism being completely disregarded because they are not sports writers or part of the organization.

But you do you and keep drinking the kool aid.

Eflin has been good. Eloy has been fine.  No problem with Dominguez.  Just Soto and Rogers.

Hyde has his days. Yesterday was abysmal. But you’re right. This club is mediocre right now.

4 seamer at 90.  Woof.

Povich at least has upside.
