I do think there is a spot for Morales in the Blue Jays bullpen. Brett Cecil has struggled this season & the Jays could surely use another left handed option out of the pen. Also, the Jays bullpen as a whole, with one or two exceptions, hasn’t been that good this season.
As for Sanchez, the Blue Jays should re-consider if they want to make the playoffs because they don’t have a replacement. Drew Hutchison isn’t the answer. He can’t pitch on the road & he is very inconsistent. He got lit up in his last AAA start. Unless the Jays trade for another starter, they should keep Sanchez in the rotation & skip some starts. I also wish they would stop looking at just innings & look at pitch counts because sometimes you throw more pitches in a shorter start then you do in starts where you go deep. I understand wanting to protect Sanchez’ arm, but innings pitched aren’t the only thing that contributes to arm trouble

agreed. it seems like common sense, especially with the technological advances in place today that they would be a little more accurate when quantifying a pitcher’s workload. to break it down even further, pitches/inning and types of pitches thrown…some are easier on the arm than others. it doesn’t seem like it would be all that difficult to “get their arms around” that data.

So Farrell is trying to get his arms around Uehara’s pecs? Sounds like a close knit team.

Sounds like Farrell’s rounding first and heading for second…

“More and more dilemma” made me laugh out loud. Please don’t fix that!

Smyly continues to struggle and Cobb will remain ineffective. Rays are in trouble.

I thought that was wildly understood with them being mentioned as sellers in every other article and their abysmal record.

Why does Sanchez have an inning limit but Stroman doesn’t? Stroman is young and hasn’t put up more than 128Ip before this season.
