Hopefully the rest Springer got was enough. We need him this September but he was struggling to even stay on his feet.

What a crazy season for him

 

Hope 2022 is MUCH healthier

[TwistedLogic]

I wonder if they should have rested Springer a bit more. You can afford to against the Orioles and leadoff placebo Bichette might be the greatest player of all time.

If he's limping/falling today I'm gonna be pissed

Blue Jays are in a smelling blood in the water approach. You gotta be looking at these 4 games against the Orioles as 4 wins. Curb stomp approach. I don’t think you want to leave any of these games on the table. We have games in hand but the other teams have already won those games.

Lets go Birds, 12 is the lucky number this weekend... keep it rolling GO JAYS GO!!!

Same. Then again, he's been told he can't make the injury worse, if he's near 90% he should be good.

Orioles fans actually rooting to lose this game to secure the tank and flip a finger against the Yankees postseason dreams

Makes sense.

That is some admirable hatred of the Yankees

Throat em'

[Eat My Shatkins]

Hopefully they push the orioles s*** in and get Pearson/Merryweather some low leverage to work the kinks out.

[Spanky99]

 

I figured he'd be the extra man for the DH.

[Jonn]

Throat em'

 

Yes sir!

[BigCecil]

Lets go Jays!

 

Dyson and Lamb hmm...at least plus D and hopefully he can drag bunt or BB his way on.

 

Lamb, not sure what he offers yet. He hasn't hit yet, but I prefer Smith at 3B for us, even against RHP. (Well...I guess he is gone)

Yup. I saw a lot that was good in Pearson last night. Sanchez hit a decent pitch in off the plate. Tip your cap.

 

I don't know if Pearson was tipping or not but Voit looked like he was sitting on a breaking ball and he hung it badly. Saw good V and 101 away on the black. All in all was promising. I'd throw him right back out there.

People were really ripping on Lamb last night. He’s had 7 at-bats in a Blue Jays uniform. .333 OBP. Lets give him atleast a couple starts before we decide he’s worthless. Clearly they identified him as someone they feel they can get something out of.

[Eat My Shatkins]

Chicken strip back, just in time to get a start in game 1 tomorrow?

Sure, but he has pretty bad since 2017. and even before that he wasn't great. He hasn't played much 3B and we are in a tight race. Prefer another time for resurrection projects.

Oh wow

 

I didn't realize that Arizona has a worse record till now

 

Yikes

[InvincibleTiger]

Focus must not be lost with us playing the hapless O's. Go Blue Jays!

It's honestly great timing for us. Didn't have to worry about who would be the odd man out between Stripling/Matz and now Stripling can be the long man in the pen.

We don’t have an everyday Third Baseman. So they don’t really have much of a choice. He’s more than fine at Third Base. Hes just utillity role in recent years. When the other option is Valera and Smith did not hit at all during his stint.

[gruber92]

Got to stay fundamentally strong..

[jaysguy44]

Strongly disagree with Springer playing tonight, judging from what we saw of him a few days ago

What do you want to save him for? Those meaningful games in September!?
