Schwa. Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Sorry Blue Jay fans, this deserves its own thread. I've watched this guy walk the bases loaded 3 times now this year. His location was absolute shit.Here's hoping the Jays cut the cord at the end of the season and trade this guy. Amazing he even has the number of saves he has.Fail.

Jaimoe Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 If you can see that he's finished (and I agree that he's done), then every scout in the Majors has known that Ryan is finished for months; good luck getting anything of value for him. When does Arcardo come of the DL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwa. Posted July 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 totally. perhaps we could trade him for McCabe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cully Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 sometimes it takes more time to get everything back after T-J surgery.I think that he will be fine. Problem is that he isn't getting enough work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 It's true that Ryan isn't getting that much work, but closers don't normally have a long shelf-life to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwa. Posted July 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 I don't know Cully. Everything he's doing is wrong. Needs a serious retooling of his mechanics....and he isn't throwing his wicked slider at all. infact i haven't seen it all year, most likely as a result of the TJ surgery. That was the nail in the coffin pitch for him as a lefty. Now he's throwing fat-as-fuck curves and everything outside to every righty that comes to the plate...and not just for one or two save ops., every single time....and take a few seconds between pitches for Christ sakes!!!

Thorgnor Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 No doubt. He needs to relax and slow down. I'm missing whole innings for bowl brakes, fack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Wooly Mammoth Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 it usually takes a couple of years to come back from TJ surgery. hard to say if he's really done or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LXQ42 Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 They were biggin' him up on 590 tonight. Only blown 3 saves, 1 strikout per inning, etc...makes me wonder if he just needs time to get into form...let's face it, the Jays can afford to wait a season. I had high hopes for the guy coming back early from surgery, but it was too soon to be the hero we wanted. I say one more year, if I'm wrong , and he's just lost it, bye bye. But he could be the Tom Henke of the 21st Century for us.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Whether he's done or not, one thing that we can all agree on is that when B.J. blows a save, he does it in dramatic, ugly and devastating fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwa. Posted August 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Any mention of his walk count LXQ? 20 walks in 38 innings for a closer? poop.Compare that to 29 walks in 175 innings for Halladay.I stand by my NO CONTROL argument, but as a fan i still hope he turns it around because they ain't gonna trade him.

Jaimoe Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 I thought Tabler made a good point last night when he mentioned that control is the last thing to come back after Tommy John surgery. This is the case with Ryan, who looked better than he has all year last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwa. Posted September 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 he wasn't that sharp last night in my opinion. funny you should bump it Momack cuz i was just going to do the same thing there always seems to be a scare when Ryan comes in...hell he brought the tying run to the plate himself and had to fight from a 3-1 count to strike out that tying run. Downs sure did suck it up though. fatties right across the plate the whole time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Ryan was not good with the first batter when he hit him and was ahead on the count. Rolen should have had the ball that went through his legs too. I don't know what the Jays are going to do with Ryan come next year. I wonder if they would have released and/or traded him this season if Accardo was healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
