my least favourite Jay ever was Russ Adams. I still irrationally blame him for Aaron Hill's unrealized promise.

gibby punched him out and then he was traded for jeremy accardo and accardo was good for a couple years while hillenbrand was out of baseball like a season later so i have mostly positive memories of hillenbrand. meanwhile millar was a shithead ~veterans~ dickhead who tried to lead a clubhouse revolt while being completely useless at everything baseball-wise.

I had an irrational hatred of Kelvim Escobar because he was really poo poo and yet Cito kept pitching him

he went to the angels after the jays and went on to be a very solid starting pitcher for 3 or 4 more years

yea well it was his fault. but I thought Hill was already on the decline once we infected him with Adams presence.

Ted Lily was also a gently caress.

My least favourite Jay is Josh Towers because my first season watching baseball was the atrocious 2006 season he had.

Also this Boston pitcher reminds me of Jeremy Freedman

Rowengartner seems to be tricking the Jays into bad swings by throwing so many lovely balls. Like that softball pitcher that throws everything into the dirt and then randomly gets you to pop up cus you swing on the first decent looking pitch.

Gibbons shouldn't let Pennington play when Thole is catching. Just way too unfair to the opposing pitcher to face such power back2back.

Josh Thole is good practice for when the Jays have to play interleague because he bats about as well as any of the pitchers.

I like how he keeps saying "If Thole could just..."

As if the thing keeping him back from ripping doubles opposite field is desire and thought-process.
