I didn't hear the name of perhaps the most important piece of the bullpen's success, and that is Pete Walker. I find it can be hard to gauge a pitching coach but for as bad as the results from the bullpen were, it seems logical that firing could have happened. I tend see a player here or there improving when coming to Toronto but for me it is too little to count on. Any thoughts? Keep up the good work
Pete walker manages the starters. It was Jeff Ware (moved out of that role now) who was responsible for the Bullpen. This year it will be Graham Johnson who was hired in December and came from a past in the Yankees/Astros systems

I wouldn’t have made that T. Hernandez for just about anyone because of his bat & club house presence, this was a horrible trade , varsho trade was terrible, , basically we have santandare good pickup but we’re around a 80 to 85 win team better than I gave last year I said 78 wins we won 74 , it were not a World Series team , I couldn’t stand Atkins but he’s redeemed himself a little but he’s F this team up , we we lose to a World Series before he got here , now we’re in catch up from atkins F-up s , so hopefully he can fully get some hope for jays fans
That Teo trade was a good trade. He was a FA after that season in SEA and it was his worst. No way that helps us.. Instead they got a top 5 reliever season from Swanson. We also got Adam Macko, who is a guy we need now and could help for years. Varsho was worth more WAR than both Lourdes and Moreno Last year- combined. Do you know how many double plays Lourdes and Moreno have hit into since the trade? 64! Varsho has only 5. Zero last year. His bat may not be what we expected, but his offense literally never hurts us. No player is baseball is as Tidy as Varsho. Varsho will have about the Same WAR total after 6 seasons as Vlad after 6 seasons (21) ...just to show how Valuable he is (or invaluable Vlad is). I miss Teo too and would rather Moreno over Kirk, but it doesn't mean it was a mistake It also sucks that he took a portion of the energy with him.. who knew Vlad would be affected so much? Can't hold that against them in hindsight.
And last year was not Atkins fault either. Nothing is ruined. One bad year in a 5 years is acceptable. Vlad is 3/23 in the playoffs and was picked off second after his only double. The GM built a playoff team. The players are the ones who have been failing
Jay pitching was negative WAR last year. 3.6 starters and minus 3.8 for relief. It needed the most addressing/rebound. Add that to our 6th highest non pitcher WAR total and we got dragged all the way to the bottom 5 of yotal WAR. What a drop. We lost 100% of the pitching performance from 2023. The offense dropped 20% (literally just Bo's production. If we had his 5 WAR, our non pitcher WAR would have led the AL. Not bad for a garbage year- and it was garbage) I like Fangraphs war, but i prefer BRef for WAR. Fangraphs uses FIP to determine pitcher WAR. I like FIP individually , but the stat tells the story of 'what if'. It's not what actually happened, so it shouldn't determine any tangible value. It kills defense stats too. FIP blames everything that gets hit and isn't an out on the D. BRef uses R/9 and actually represents true results. It doesn't steal Value from the defense and give it to a pitcher. That why BBref has 2022 Manoah at 6 war and fangraphs has him at 3.9. Manoah's FIP was a whole run higher than his actual performance, so because of what 'didnt happen', manoah loses a boatload of WAR to FG. Not saying one is better, it's just my preference
