people make me laugh when they say "oooh, my GM is into analytics, I'm so excited"
that meant something 20 years ago.....now it just means you're not illiterate
That would have been awesome to see. Atkins’ head explodes while Berrios goes on to get the next 6 outs.Thing is, there was nothing actually stopping Schneider from saying "Fuck it, i'm keeping him in".
Yes, he'd be risking his job, but he might have risked it anyways.
With the extended playoffs, very few teams are out of it by the deadline. And everyone needs and can use pitching. I don't think you want to really count on loading up at the deadline.
The team doesn't need pitching, because they already spent the effort on it the last couple years. And the guys they got, I don't think they necessarily have a lot of extra value. Like we're not getting much back if we floated a guy like Berrios, and if we did, we'd need someone like him anyways. The team also should have Tiedemann by August maybe to come in as a late pick me up.
Some people have resentment because the Jays joined in voting to relocate the Expos, and didn't give like a symbolic abstention or something.
Did those people ever consider buying tickets and going to Expos games instead?
Sounds like you’re offering to drive Jonas to the airport.A year after you pull Gausman too soon you do the same thing...everybody who believed that was the right decision despite watching Berrios pitch should be gone.
I attended many games
He was warming up Kikuchi in the second. He had decided BEFORE the game that Berrios was coming out early. Guy is busy striking everyone out and he grabs him after 48 pitches. Legitimately one of the dumbest managerial decisions I’ve ever seen on the Jays, certainly the dumbest in a critical game.Thing is, there was nothing actually stopping Schneider from saying "Fuck it, i'm keeping him in".

He’s one of the worst managers we’ve ever had, if not the worst.
