Jays bullpen won’t shut down elite hitting but they are above average.

The Yankees are mostly using low leverage minor league callup relief pitchers today.
Yup and that is the scouting report..throw minor leaguers they have never faced before and that'll baffle the hitters.



More on the ejection from German..this was the crew Angel Hernandez is suppose to be working

One quarter of the season is done:

Lourdes Gurriel Jr: 7 home runs, .312 batting average, 25 RBIs, 25 runs scored. On base + slugging percentage .929

Vladimir Gurrerro Jr. 7 home runs, .312 batting average, 26 RBIs, 25 runs scored. On base + slugging percentage .903

But Daulton Varsho throws to 2nd base to keep the double play in order!
.216 batting average, 6 home runs, 16 RBIs, 18 runs scored, OPS .674. With a lot of infield popups, and groundouts to 2nd base.

Teoscar Hernandez
.242 batting average, 8 home runs, 22 RBIs, 19 runs, OPS .713

Gabriel Moreno
.321 batting average, 1 home run, 17 RBIs, 7 runs, OPS .746

Alejandro Kirk
.217 batting average, 2 home runs, 11 RBIs, 9 runs, OPS .658

Danny Jansen
.185 batting average, 3 home runs, 18 RBIs, 11 runs, OPS .594

Should have sent Kirky... Moreno was more athletic and we need those type of players on the team...

I'm sure there is a reason why teams wanted Moreno, Jano, Kirk, in that order, when the Jays were shopping catchers in the offseason.

batting Varsho 3rd or 4th is embarrassing

Traded 2 all star .300+ hitters for a guy that hits at least 1 infield popup every game.

Would you rather put Belt? I'm pretty sure Belt/Varsho is there BECAUSE they are a lefty and gives opposing manager to work their bullpen.

Schneider has no clue, if that's the reason

Bassitt is definitely dealing with something but he is battling and pitching toe to Tao against Cole.
