Should I drop grayson for jp france?
Heim or Melendez going forward? I can't seem to give up on MJ. Pts league. No minus for Ks
Alek Manure getting exposed finally 💀
What about tim Anderson he's been horrible
Starting to notice he's a bit too fat too
Dropped Manoah first thing I saw what he did. Was not a rage drop, it was premeditated. His schedule looks worse what he had so far. Lost trust in him completely.
Same goes for Detmers. Last chance. He sucks again he is out.
Good episode fellas.
Would y’all drop Grayson for a Musgrave or Stroman or H Greene?
Any updates on jazz Chisholm ??
Before last night I thought Manoah was only good against the Yankees.
I feel like even if Alek Manoah figures something out he’ll be middle of the road at best. The command issues and nothing slider for a guy that doesn’t depend on velocity is something I don’t see drastically changing
Someone just dropped Hunter Green in my Dynasty League I have the first waiver claim drop Alek manoah or kodai Senga for him?
I traded away Manoa for Steele in week 3. I just had a feeling. My league mates thought I was nuts. 💪🏻
I cut Manoah last start. Lucky I was able to put a Bid on Keller before his big 13 k game
I think Berrios gave Manoah bad habits or something, both Blue Jay's SP are horrible to watch if they start on your team
Remember Scotty saying brendan donovan over nolan gorman? And his OPS is .979 not .879
Alek Manoah: The bad news. I drafted him and Hunter Greene ( who also got rocked again on Monday) on one of my teams. The Good news: I picked up Eduardo Rodriguez and Bryce Miller on waivers ten days ago, draft pick Justin Steele has been gold, got Verlander back and the team has won four weeks in a row. So I can sit these puppies for now. If one has to be jettisoned in the near future, it will probably be Manoah. Funny thing too is I knowingly took the risk of drafting Greene as my third pitcher for the upside because I thought the dependability of Verlander and Manoah offered protection.
How do you not talk about George Kirby?
Drop him? No. Time for you guys to stop ranking him significantly higher than several pitchers who are much better? Yes definitely
If someone dropped Manoah should I add him? I have some mediocre talent I can drop, and just let him ride the bench. I'm debating on it.
Frank "Give Me 5-Stars" Stampfl does a good job moving the show right along. Easier said than done to keep it moving without sounding anxious. I would drop Manoah. There is nothing there but reputation and the pitch clock is leaving him looking exhausted.
Ha, I just droped Lodolo to pick up Flaherty. Perhaps not great but I'm tired of Lodolo getting bombed. I think this is the start to Gentleman Jack's contract push for next season.
Would you drop manoah for Jack Flaherty?
I don’t think that it’s a coincidence that the 2 heaviest pitchers in the game (in Manoah and Lynn) are having trouble this season, considering the pitch clock is in effect and it’s not allowing these fellas to catch their breath.
While I wouldn't start Manoah, I think what needs to happen is an attitude adjustment. I watch the Blue Jays in person every home game, and Manoah looks like he's bought into all the hype. The Blue Jays are too stacked with veterans and pros to let that go on much longer. If Manoah gets his head screwed on right, there's still a great pitcher in there. He doesn't do it often, but when he fools someone their swings look foolish.
56:07: I was waiting for this. Patrick Corbin, even with his last three outings, is still not a roster ad, as in Josiah Gray on the same team, but should be considered as a streaming option in deeper leagues. He is facing Detroit and Kansas City in his next two starts.
I was hoping you'd mention Detmers in the drop convo! Nice…
Agree, Manoah needs more patience. Not sure of his off season routine, but doesn't look like he really prepped for the season with the pitching changes. Part of it is the schedule and Jays lost their swing starter so they don't seem to want to skip him to get easier opponents. Manoah is pitching alot of high leverage games lately at hated Boston, at Philadelphia with Harper back, and yesterday vs Yankees and these teams are teeing off on him. He also faced a Cardinals team when alot of their players were just off the WBC and Tampa. Jays need to get him some easier games to get his confidence and bite back and push him back a few days if need be.
Hits from the boooong – cypress Hill. My favorite one so far!
