You literally complained about the trade we acquired him in, earlier.
Show me when earlier? I never complained about Bass. White and Pop. Yes.
What’s there to complain about? Pop was in the Bass deal and we didn’t give up anything of value to get Mitch White.

Just underwhelmed with the trade deadline in general. Atkins could have done better is my point. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one here who agrees with this statement.
Look at today. Instead of a SP we have a bullpen game. You feel confident with this approach? We are literally throwing games away and taxing our bullpen in the process in a close playoff race.

We're not starting Romano. Jays have an assortment of pitchers - Kikuchi, Pearson(?), White - who could/should be starters or long relievers and who we want to see re-develop their confidence in low leverage situations at the major league level. What better opportunity than today?

Is White back up with the club?

White is almost certainly going to be starting one of the doubleheader games on Tuesday.

Richards/Kikuchi appears to be going more as you'd expect as opposed to last time.

That would be far better than a close loss. Don't want to completely burn the pen going into the next two days.

Look at that walk of shame from the manager. Going to the bullpen in the 1st inning causw he followed the gameplan of the nerds.

Absolutely massive strike zone today for Perez. Kikuchi would like the same, I'm sure.

I guess the Ump wants to hurry the game up so he has time to eat before the cowboys game.
