Please win

So...is it going to be a repeat of yesterday, or are we gonna avenge yesterday's slaughtering?

Please win

 

[TwistedLogic]

I f***ing hate Buffalo.

 

[Deadpool]

f***. Well, that sucks balls.

[Jays24]

Game has been postponed and will be made up when the team is back in Toronto. This is a win/win since we also get to skip Hatch's start!

[TwistedLogic]

Postponed. Guess they at least get to dodge the Hatch start.

 

[glory]

Jays probably caught a break here.

[TwistedLogic]

Yeah, moving passed the bummed feeling of not having baseball to watch tonight, this is excellent for the Jays in a lot of ways.

 

- Skip the Hatch start.

 

- Rest the bullpen.

 

- Manoah doesn't miss a start.

 

- More baseball in Toronto.

 

- One less game with opposing fans hijacking the stadium.

 

- One more game with potential trade deadline upgrades on the team.

[TwistedLogic]

Some more good news: Kirk reinstated and optioned to Triple-A. Kay demoted. Zeuch DFA'd.

 

[4thOFan]

******** rainout. Won't even be raining within an hour.

[InvincibleTiger]

This is a good thing. Miss Hatch start and rest pen.

Brilliant on every level. You have transcended to being the board god with these threads. Pre- AND post-game analysis.

I was excited to see Hatch

[ShowtimeBelli]

Richards is trash. We were going to slap him around tonight

Some team is going to grab Zoinks (unless he's part of a trade?) and hope they can "fix" him. I just hope that it's a team in the NL, because it would f***ing suck if the Yankees got him and suddenly he was a stud or something. I have no problem ditching him, but I know the universe loves to kick us in the balls with stuff like that.

[G-Snarls]

Yeah but they might have done the same to Hatch

[TwistedLogic]

That's the main negative here. They didn't get to beat up Hatch but the Jays also didn't get to beat up Richards. He's one of the worst starters in baseball so if ever there were a game where you could try and see what you have with Hatch in a starting pitcher, it would be in a game against Richards.

 

That being said, they've kicked the s*** out of Pivetta in the past and that didn't help yesterday so it's probably for the best this game was postponed.

[Eat My Shatkins]

I'd like to see Hatch one day too, but not against the Red Sox.

 

Toss him out there against the Orioles to get his feet wet. Missing this game is a blessing.

Will he rejoin the club before the series in Toronto or after?

I can't see him joining the Sox until after at least. It's his first start after TJ being out since the end of 2019.
