OT: The Toronto Blue Jays

Perhaps its time to realize that Bo is not a lead off guy and Vladdy probably should not be hitting number 2 in the lineup.

I know the computer is probably saying they should but fuck the god damn computer,

Bo isn't a great lead off hitter, but everyone else would be worse. Maybe, maybe bounce back Springer is the choice there, but he's more or less a OBP wash, but a better baserunner.

This isn't exactly a moneyball organization though that puts emphasis on guys how get on base so there's not a lot of choice.
 
nice nice nice.

the SP will inevitably cool down but the power bats should start powering so it should balance out.

And i continue to enjoy the general approach and style of our basenball this year. I think something has changed here.
 
Potentially, the best thing that happened to this organization and FO was last year's disaster of a season. Everything failed, from health to performance to how they ran the team. They realized it and made sweeping changes?

If I were to guess, Shatkins is letting the coaches be coaches and not follow a certain set of parameters. And they are accentuating their players' strengths instead of forcing them into being their version of that player. It seems to be working.

I can squint and see Roden vs RHP as a leadoff hitter

Popkins or whatever his name is.

Whatever Guiellermo and Mattingly ( who is still here for some reason) were doing, was terrible.
