Blue Jays GDT: 2021 v2 |Next: Wed, Apr 21| @ Bos |7pm ET/4pm PT | Thornton vs Richards

[MS]

Stripling is not good. The Dodgers know pitching and they don’t dump guys who have ability.

 

[Cloned]

Management reaping what they sow with not getting more starting pitching in the offseason.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Almost 4 doubles given up in 1 inning.

Maybe 5, if Grichuk missed.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Can we demote Stripling to the pen and start Kendall Williams in his place next time through the rotation?

 

[ihaveyuidonttouchme]

CVladdy with the high

 

[Da Cool Rula]

Damm kudos to Vladdy. Respect to this man. True professional!!!

There is a true genuine human who continues to work hard to improve.

Cheaping out on Walker not looking too smart.

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

Manoah and SWR might be our 2nd and 3rd best starters right now.
I hope we don’t waste them in the minors all year while putting up with a bunch of scrubs behind ryu.

I really think they are working on a trade. Not saying I have contacts but just a feeling.

Gotta believe but can't rush them.

 

[Marshy]

These starters are gonna make me start missing Gooch.

Copium?

 

[Jozay]

Angels are feasting on Stripling lol

Can you have Pulled Pork on Sunday? To help Montoyo Pull Roark very very early. Or better yet, not start him to begin with.

Gonna need a bigger fridge.

I disagree Walker is a #4. Not worth what he got especially with our 2 studs coming.

Their long-term development is too important to rush them to the majors to fill holes. They should only be brought up if they are ready.

This team currently has 2 quality starters and one of them is Steven Matz. A solid #4 who could eat innings would be a godsend. He would have cost about what this team gave Roark a year ago.

I don’t think the team has any inclination to put Manoah or SWR into the rotation this year.

 

[Da Cool Rula]

Copium?

Nah not that bad

 

[CatchyTune]

Marco Estrada is only 37. cant be that bad

kidding. im seeing a lot of overreactions about the pitching.

Still you don't waste those dollars on Walker. Matz only has a year too. Its early be patient. If the right deal comes up go for it.
I understand your feelings though. Genuine fan.

Not sure it would be rushing them. Both would be knocking on the door if the minor leagues weren’t shutdown last year. They are pretty polished arms and I think both could help the team win this year.

id much rather roll with them than get bent over in a trade. We won’t be making an upgrade in the rotation until probably the July trade deadline so I’m all about seeing what SWR and Manoah can do. If they hit the ground running maybe you only need one starter rather than 2 or 3.

Especially after last years stunted minor leagues ill wait . Too much of a risk on young arms. Maybe we don't wait till deadline.

Right now they have :

Ryu

Matz - ERA of 9.68 last year, a reclamation project.
Ray - ERA of 6.62 last year, a reclamation project.
Stripling - ERA of 5.84 last year, reclamation project.
Pearson - top prospect, but is almost 25 and has not yet had MLB success and is constantly hurt.
Roark - 6.80 ERA last year, absolute garbage.

Literally nobody outside of the ace who could get anybody out last year. It’s what you’d expect a garbage rebuilding team like Seattle to be throwing out there. If one of those projects turns into a quality starter this year, that’s a huge win.

When you sign a 32 y/o Springer to a massive contract, that means you expect to compete now. And when you are trying to compete now, you have to do better than just crossing your fingers and hoping with your starting pitching.

That ball either didn't carry enough or carried too far, I can't tell.

Jays also have Hatch, Pearson, and Ray injured. Ray is going to be back very soon.
