they are bringing him up ahead of schedule
Jays are in sore need of another starter
Kirk is out so Pearson can have his spot
I wonder if they short leash him or let him throw 90 pitches ? he threw 78 in his only aaa start

I'd be surprised if they let him pitch over 80.
if he is not ready to throw full out then they should not bring him up
consider Springer
they just dh him because he was not ready to play outfield and look what happened
The assumption is that his injury, unlike Springer's, is fully healed.
He has just not been fully stretched out. It's like if a pitcher didn't quite finish training camp but is not injured.
If he pitches well, those 80 pitches could take him through 6 innings, which would be a big help for the bullpen.
Bichette has a slightly better AB per home run for career than Gurriel Jr.: 18.9 ab/hr to Gurriel jr's 20 ab/hr
It's pretty nerve-wracking to debut in The Show. Betcha the kid pitches way better in his 2nd start!
The kid is an enigma, he pitched 2 innings in last year's playoffs against Tampa Bay and was un-hittable, so it's not like he hasn't felt pressure before.
He didn't have any spring training to speak of. I would have kept him on the farm for a minimum of 3 starts before promoting him. I get that we are short on starters right now, thanks to management neglecting arms, but he's our prized arm and we need to set him up for success not failure.
Why did Acuna punk Vlady after he hit his home run?
Vlady was cold against the Asstros, best to let a sleeping Kong lie. He's not so funny now is he.

I just don't know how people formulate or come to these conclusions sometimes....smh.

good move
let him work with the coaches down there to get control back where there is no pressure
his form is not quite there even though his arm is
