I don't think that they've given up on Nate. A lot of injuries that are not his fault

….except for who he was kissing to catch mono. I dont know enough about mono tbh. But that’s done in the past.

Is he a client? LOL.

I just edited my post because I truly don’t know about mono. Nothing to do with us. Lol.

I wonder how Nate got that. Poor guy lost an entire season because of it.

It could be just as simple as with his girlfriend. I think that transmission of mono is extremely easy.

Cant be good that he missed an entire season (or nearly or whatever it was) at such a young age. For sure a stump in his progress.

He got the job cause everyone loves the velo to end the game.
He doesnt have much when it comes to secondary......aside from a slider that is probably average.
If going by k/9 ; I'd go with Richards to close it. But chicks dig the velo.

Hopefully the acquisition of Hicks can change the bullpen regime.

Jay will win noting.

 

[Toronto Passions]

Even when both pitches are on, good hitters are able to square up if they guess what he will throw. That being said, Romano is a good relief pitcher. He's just not an elite closer.

That’s a scary feeling. When you know he’s going to get hit and cough up the game. Those moments are too predictable as they unravel with him. Especially in tie games. Sadly, I’ve witnessed it live this season against the Red Sox. Literally hands over the game on a silver platter.

Hopefully Hicks is lights out.

That looked like a bit of a white knuckle close for the closer of the league leading Orioles. Should they be concerned?

I listened on radio broadcast MLB app in LA. What happened with that Oriole catch they were freaking out about?

And Ryu tomorrow. That will be interesting. Ok Jeff Blair is about to start. Let’s talk DH’ing Teoscar possibilities ….

Orioles’ Hayes makes spectacular diving catch to rob Merrifield of much-needed runs

Ooooh

The winning run came to the plate and the game was saved by an amazing catch. Not by the efforts of their closer.

As I said, it was an extreme white knuckle save.

I am comparing apples to apples, objectively.

I wouldn't mind having him back. But if Bo is gonna be out for any length of time, I might prefer seeing Tim Anderson at short. We need someone better than Espinal.

On the tv broadcast tonight, they mentioned Hazel's Father passed away. That's why she's away, and probably why Barker is away.

He ain't no Jackie Robinson....

 

[shack]

He ain't no Jackie Robinson....

Who is? The point is would we rather have Espinal or Anderson at SS if Bo is out? If he's ok in a couple of days or so, I'd like to see the Jays get Teo.

What's with your Damn Yankees? They're supposed to help us, yet they get trashed by the Rays. And that's with Judge back.

They just walked Judge 3 times,lol......Same as the Orioles did the other night.

Why pitch to him when no one is hitting behind him. Rizzo, Stanton, LeMahieu are all massively under performing. To George Springer levels to put into Jays jargon.

Unless their vets become close to what they once were it's the bottom of the east this year.

You notice you don't see them buying right now. There's a reason why. They've got to many holes to fill.

Some controversy regarding German?

Some controversy regarding German?

Yes he was going to miss the start. Then decided at 6pm that he could go but they said it was too close to the game time so they went with the rookie Brito. When Brito faltered they brought German in to clean up.

German is our Kikuchi. Just when you think you've really got something they get shelled in back to back starts. Consistently inconsistent. Good fourth or fifth starters though for the right price I suppose.
