OT: The Toronto Blue Jays

I'm no fan of the early hook, but he looks completely cooked from the start tonight. As if he wasn't expecting to pitch today. Never seen him this bad. Every pitch is a meatball.
 
It would be like 5-0 or more without Lukes. Bassitt is toast. Limited leeway if he comes out looking like shit to start the third.

At this point, just looking to squeeze maybe two more innings out of him before having to go to the pen. With deGrom over there, and the way we've been swinging lately, this feels like it's already over.
 
I get being irked with how Santander has worked out so far but thinking that some of these pretty good bench bats are better options is kinda nuts

If we could airdrop the 21-24 Santander into this lineup, right now. He's neck and neck with Bo for 3rd best stick in the lineup. An argument could be made for Schneider as well, his 133 wRC+ doesn't look luck driven. His walk rate and power might be for real, though I'd like to see it for more than 150 AB before I considered him better than that Santander, considering how last year went and all.

And im not here to shit on Lukes/Barger they are both very good players on the busy side of a platoon, but they shouldnt face LHP and Clement shouldn't face RHP, ideally.
 
Barger should be in the lineup every day.

82 wRC+ against lefties suggests otherwise. Though I agree from a development standpoint. He's not going to get better against them if he's not exposed to them, and when he eventually takes over as full time 3B, if he's even a 90-100 wRC+ against lefties, you can leave him in the lineup for his glove.
