2021 Blue Jays Regular Season/Game Thread

[Raps18-19 Champ]

Makes sense. I gotta think theyll give Strip a longer leash (end of may) just to see.

Stripling has always been a good swing pitcher. I'm wondering if having an opener, if that would help his first inning struggles. Perhaps have Payamps open with Strips coming in after might help things a bit.

To be fair, it was only the first inning that was terrible. The rest was fine.

Now yes, you won't say that when things start getting serious

Strips numbers over 25 innings are epically bad, 7.2 era, 1.76 whip, .330 opponents batting ave., simply god-awful.

For comparison, Roark pitched 7 innings, 6.2 era, 1.29 whip, .241 oba. and we punted him.

Strips should not start another game for the Jays imo.

Agreed. Kendall better not pan out.

Matz gave up 5 runs but ate enough innings.

Thats tough. Not sure why we use Dolis to close when he's underperformed compared to like 3-4 guys in the pen.

Not a fan of Dolis and his slow process, i think that hurts him more and it gives batters time to wait and see what's coming. Our BP is hurting right now. Need Hatch, Borucki and Merryweather to heal up fast.

Also I want us our of FLA ASAP. It feel that even the home games there are all road games based on the crowd. At least in Buffalo, they are always supporting the Jays unless NYY or NYM are in. Was terrible vs Phi and BOS with all their fan base jeering us.

might have to use more of beasley and bergen, castro is close to being activated

Bullpen’s tired already. Dolis was fresh. He pitched in that role last year.

Pitchers have to perform, can't always blame Montoyo

I wouldve used Dolis in the 8th and Romano in the 9th.

This is true. I have been a fan of his BP management for the most part.

I'd ease Dolis back into it and rely on Chatwood and Romano for the 8th and 9th.

That was painful to watch last night.
