Sanchez is a perfect example for a guy who should throw 3-4 innings every 3rd or 4th day. Use your best stuff and mow thru the order once, and if he's on let him face a another round.

Clippard had a 4-0 record with 5 holds and a 1.47 ERA up until Osuna went full idiot.

Since then he's 0-2 with 2 saves and 2 blown saves with an 8.10 ERA.

In that same time frame Axford has an 11.57 ERA in 6 appearances.

Like it wasn't bad enough losing our closer, but those other two had to fall apart as well.

The universe of 19yo who made it to AA is tiny and amoung those that accomplish much early there exist few AA examples I mean you can't even do Bryce Harper because he was in AAA & MLB at age 19.

Jason Heyward was pretty close as was Adrian Beltre.

The Jays should move him to AAA thou. It'll still be a step up more him because he'll get to face MLB quality bullpens (the shuttle guys anyways) the raw stuff from starters is probably pretty close to what he faces now but he'll get to face guys with more experience and better relievers.

Nice to see Bo having a good game... he's had a rough week.

Thank goodness for Vlad because he is really the only exciting thing about the Blue Jays right now.

This is the first time in a while that I am not excited about any player on the Jays MLB roster. I watch a lot of Jays baseball and I would always have something to look forward to, Stroman or Sanchez pitching, watching Donaldson play etc. But right now there is nothing remotely interesting about this roster of players. Nothing.

Travis is not an MLB level infielder and his only tool hitting seems to have disappeared,, Martin and Morales are terrible, Donaldson looks like his body is done, Sanchez still walks people at an alarmingly high rate, Stroman needed a mental break from the game, Osuna is an idiot, Pearce is a band aid, Grichuk was historically bad, Estrada had an ERA over 5. Tulo is done.

Happ Solarte Granderson and Hernandez are minor bright spots.

Sorry just frustrated with the direction of this team.
