OT: The Toronto Blue Jays

Jays are going to drop 2/3 to Washington while blowing a 6-1 lead and whilst 8-8 with a man on third, and less than 2 outs our offensive co-ordinator, asked Ernie Clement to bunt. It failed.

Fuck everyone of these complete fucking idiots
 
How long until Mattingly is the manager? Atkins and Shapiro spent $250M on this team, they obviously believe in the roster.

Will he do any better? He is currently the offensive coordinator or some shit isn’t he? How’s that look. Terrible.

I would argue he's probably more dangerous as i think Schneider is a minion that they moved up with in the org to be part of a collective brain trust and follow the front office's game plan and their understanding of analytics ( much like Charlie)

Don, appears to be someone they brought in from the outside who actually has his own thoughts about hitting and by all accounts is extremely old school and terrible.
 
Oh he’ll be terrible as well, but they have to do something. You don’t see a lot of GMs fired mid-season. Mattingly would be Atkins’ fourth manager.
 
He could be passed on, and we could prop him up Weekend at Bernie's style and it would probably be better than what is going on right now.

Springer’s start is also a bit troublesome. His bat was just above league average last year and now it’s going to take a serious hot streak to get back to that level.

The babip is really unlucky, but a lot of the underlying stuff kind of suggests he's cooked. Average EV down, barrel% down to 6.6%. Line drive rate has tanked, ground ball rate way up. Peak Springer was pulling the ball 48% of the time with an avg exit velo of 88-89mph. 34 yr old Springer isn't getting around on the ball nearly as much (34%) and the avg exit velo is 87mph. Unless this is injury related in some way, or there's a massive time adjustment he just hasn't made (not uncommon for mid 30's sluggers to struggle figuring out how to time pitchers when their bat slows down a bit...some never figure it out though).

The really concerning bit though is that most of those numbers slid year over year for 2-3 years now. I don't think he's this cooked, but it's starting to look like league average is the best we should expect, even if this is just a slump.

It's absolute insanity that he's still leading off, pure insanity.

Davis Schneider should be playing everyday and leading off vs LHP, and Danny Jansen ( the only fucker that pulls the ball) should be hitting 4/5.
