Angel Hernandez was at it again last night 3 consecutive pitches out of the strike zone all called strikes, he should of been fired years ago but after last night apparently being incompetent is part of the job.

Whoa.  I'm pretty sure he was an ump back when the Jays won those 2 championships

14 games in for the Jays and the the knives are out for GM Adkins and Manager Schneider.

I'm not sure what Adkins did this off-season? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

To expect your pitching to hold up and not really add a bat that you desperately needed?

The union protects him. We'll call all robo-umps in the future, Angel-Bots.

Even though its still early in the season it might be time for the Jays to make some moves, Yankees on the other hand are rolling without one of the best pitchers in baseball

This perfectly encapsulates the Jays so far this season ...

Martinez said through a statement released by the MLBPA that he ingested clomiphene via a fertility medication called Rejun 50 that he and his partner were prescribed in the Dominican Republic last off-season.

Assuming its the same as this....Clomid isn’t not FDA-approved as an infertility treatment for men. But it’s often prescribed off-label for treatment of male infertility. This can lead to testosterone and sperm count increases.

And busted!

Not even at the half way point but for the Jays it's looking like next year territory, apart from the poor pitching something just isn't right with the way that team is constructed. 

Time to pick one and move on with the other. Move Vladdy now while you can still get some useful assets back.

Trading your most beloved player?

Yes, definitely. Rather than overpay for a regressing player or losing him for nothing? You could trade Bichette but he's probably a better player at this point.

Sounds like the Yankees are sniffing around Vladdy since Rizzo will be lost for a while, I think Rice has done a not bad job at 1st. Maybe they trade for a third baseman and move DJ to first but he is having a pretty bad season to date

He's barely back but I doubt he'll regain any form. We need infielders everywhere but shortstop. The corners and 2nd are killing us. 

Hard no on Vladdy, even with another year of control.
