Teoscar can be exciting at bat, but a liability in the field, no different than Gurriel in left. The Jays left tons on base last year, so no different that this year. Look it up. The issue is that Schneider won't juggle his lineup. Perhaps that is because he knows the delicate personalities on the lineup, more than the rest of us (of course, he does).

I am not a stats guy. I think we overthink things and advanced analytics do not make anybody any better. However, I do know the runners left in scoring position numbers are almost the same as last year. I think it’s like 1/10th of a one run higher this year.
I am not so concerned about the statistical liability that Teoscar was. He was electric, he produced, and he was a great teammate, and they didn’t get any better by trading him. They still could’ve gone out and made the moves they did, and DH Teoscar much more. I loved his presence in the lineup, and I like this team much better with him.
anyways, what’s done is done….. now they’re talking about the possibility of them acquiring Cody Bellinger. Another off-season acquisition I wanted them to make.

I miss Roger Clemens so much. Doesn’t give a fuck, owns the inside part of the plate on every hitter!

But he didn't produce. As you stated the following; However, I do know the runners left in scoring position numbers are almost the same as last year. I think it’s like 1/10th of a one run higher this year.
Therefore no matter if they kept him, or not, the numbers are bascically the same as last year.
Best they lost him for this year, gained Swanson and potenitally resign him as a free agent for next year and beyond.

Sure he was producing. I still like him better in the lineup, and I like what he brings out in the other hitters around him. The Jays may be scoring runs differently this year, but I still prefer his presence in the lineup. It was scarier
I still would’ve kept Hernandez rather than trade for Swanson, but that’s just me. I like the Blue Jays better with Hernandez than I do with Swanson. If the Jays can sign Hernandez in the off-season….. great. I for one would be thrilled.

I wish that wasn’t the case. Because now trade rumours are talking about bringing in a 43 year old Nelson Cruise for his Dominican guidance to be a big brother to Vlady. When I hear that, I get truly angry because of the Hernandez deal.
There’s lots of rumours about Stroman. More than I even realized. I think if Manoah kicks the can one more time, Stroman might be a reality….

After last nights game, anyone that ever down talks my man Teoscar again can go jump in the lake. Lol. All the baloney blah blah blah statistics in defence of liabilities….. whatever!
I consider Jeff Blair to be the gold standard in Jay’s talk. And even he is talking about a trade deadline move to bring him back with Teoscar directly. For anyone that heard the interview.
please excuse my rant…

As soon as Teoscar made contact I knew it was game over and expected to hear from Philip. Whether it's Teoscar or someone else, the Jays need more run producing pop in the 4 and 5 slots in the order. As much as I like players like Varsho and Kiermaier for their defense and because they do so many small things the right way, the Jays loose too much offense when both start on a regular basis. If Varsho doesn't learn to hit high fast balls he will become nothing more than a decent fourth outfielder who comes off the bench to run or for defense.

Yeah eh?
Hahahaha. Omg how good he would look in a Jays uniform right now.4 spot between Vlady and Belt.

When High Hopes become a stick in the mud. I think he was hot for only three games this year. Varsho should watch Jim Thome videos. I see a slight similarity in the swing mechanics.
Either that or trade the bum for Stroman.

Again, just like that playoff game last year, Schneider pulls Gausman with a comfortable lead, other than that one bad inning, he was cruising, relatively low pitch count, BP again implodes.
Schneider needs to be fired!

Buck Martinez made a big deal about the pitch selection in certain situations today. He never makes a big deal about stuff like that. By big deal I mean mentioned it sternly that it was wrong.

Schneider's in-game management of the pitching staff is puzzling to just about everyone who follows baseball closely. It has cost them games this year and is a major reason why they got eliminated in the playoffs as you mentioned. I also wonder how much responsibility the head coach assumes for poor base running decisions. Merrifield should have been sent home on a fly ball at that depth in that situation no matter who the fielder is. Biggio should have moved to second on the long fly ball as soon as it was obvious that the throw from the outfield wasn't going to a cutoff man. I remember being taught these things as a teen. These guys are pros. It doesn't matter that he stole second later. An opportunity was wasted. Not smart baseball!
Ryu's line from Friday against Syracuse (Mets)
6IP, 3H, 2R, 2ER, 1BB, 5K
Both runs were scored off solo homers.
Collectively in 4 starts with FCL Jays, Dunedin, and Buffalo:
2-0, 2.00 ERA, 18IP, 13H, 4R, 4ER, 1BB, 16K, .203AVG, 0.78WHIP
Next start is likely Wednesday or Thursday vs Scranton (Yankees).

"White knuckle" Romano always with the dramatics, they should go all in for Shohei at the deadline. He will provide the much needed left handed thump in the 3rd spot and drive in some needed runs, this offense is awful. He's also a top end starter in the rotation, immediately #2 behind Gausman if not ahead of him. Can also be a valuable arm in the pen in a playoff series.
So essentially your getting 3 players in the trade.

He wants to stay on the west coast........But he doesn't want the attention that L.A. brings.
So I heard it could be Seattle where he wants to go. I'm talking long term here.
There's also a thinking that he might return to the Angels once he hits free agency.
He's said he wants to win though....
