@KyleC_014@JohnnyGiunta_ Would’ve been nice to save him from that 9th inning after we got those runs, but given the circumstances I get it.
Some points this year they’re going to have to load manage though
@JECRASN_@Kira444u@JohnnyGiunta_ 3 batter rule was to keep the game flowing, when the inning ends there’s no impact to the pace of the game if a new pitcher is brought in to start the next inning.
@ther31560@KarenSoutar1 We did watch him throw 2 clean saves right before that 9th inning blowup 🤷♂️
Still rather not see him pitch there but with how much usage this bullpen gets it’s bound to keep happening here and there
@AlienVib3@thejaysnation@JaredB50813 What? The post asked what we thought of his first two months with the Jays and my response wasn’t negative. What are you talking about?
LF- Lukes
1B- Guerrero Jr.
RF- Sanchez
C- Kirk
DH- Pinango
3B- Okamoto
CF- Varsho
2B- Clement
SS- Gimenez
Best Vs. RHP lineup we could field when Kirk’s back?
@Sfisher_3@RobWong34 Him having the worst stretch of his career is still a .300 hitter. Don’t know if that’s true for the “average player at best” category of guys.
@BWelch1943 Using any % of “revenue share” is silly in the first place. If you could get an accurate number on the profits from baseball activities then that having a share would make a lot more sense.
Complex and creative accounting likely makes that near impossible though.
MLBPA interim executive director Bruce Meyer says that the players would actually be taking a $500 million paycut if they accepted MLB's salary cap proposal, and reiterated that they will never agree to a salary cap.
@AndrewW45837485@rallysquirreI@BizballMaury “Hey you owners take on all the debt and risk leveraging against your other assets, we’ll just go out and play and take the profits okay?”
Nobody will dispute Valenzuela is currently a better overall player I wouldn’t think.
The scary part is what if Kirk gets reinjured or Valenzuela gets hurt.
Having that veteran backup with good knowledge of the pitching staff and who calls a good game plus controls the running game is still valuable.
