I don't know. Do we have a backup bartender if he's moved?

[BlueJaysFever]

I might have to retract my previous sentiments on Banda. Obviously, not the highlight of the game last night but he does have electric stuff. It would be interesting if the Jays could somehow harness that.

Dante Bichette Jr. spills the beans on how his father Dante regularly beat both him and Bo… and his wife

I definitely would want to hear Bo's take on this. Bo seemed thrilled when his Dad was on the coaching staff. But this could be related to why he longer is. Bizarre story for sure.

[Solaxys]

Gonna be 37C tomorrow at Fenway. Yikes.

[Dagagad]

s***, I googled the two incidents where he said he hit his mom (and it got out) and yea it’s real or at least the first one he admitted to.

 

It’s insane that that never came up once at all. Like when they were playing in Boston last year, they mentioned how Dante met her there right? They never mentioned that he admitted hitting her in the face when she was pregnant and only 19.

 

It’s a classic abuse trait to up the abuse when the woman is pregnant as well. Not sure why but it’s a known thing. What a scumbag.

Looks that way.

I wonder if that history is the main reason Dante Sr stopped being around the team

I'm thinking as much. Shouldn't this be a thread on it's own?

[Solaxys]

“I think I had said, ‘Let’s go get some BioSteel,’” Manoah said, a winking nod to the sports hydration company he just signed a deal with. “He was like, ‘No, man, you need to go get some Gatorade,’ so I was like, ‘No, man, you need to sit down. I’m going to go get some BioSteel.’”

 

lol Alek pulling a Lynn

Are they supposed to just casually bring up that he hit his wife during the broadcast?

lol

[Krylian]

They'd get fired right after the game of they tried that, unless they were really subtle about it.

 

"Bichette slaps that one into right right... Speaking of which..."

[Terminator]

GoldSchmidt and Arenado both out for the Jays series due to vax status.

[Dagagad]

Are they supposed to just casually bring up that he hit his wife during the broadcast?

 

They casually brought up the entire story of where they met and how the romance started during the broadcast.

 

If it’s public knowledge that he hit her when she was pregnant (which it is) I wouldn’t bring up any story about them during the broadcast at all. Stay silent about it entirely. Even better don’t hire the dude but at the very least don’t tell us the origins of their romance lol.

 

Like, on a much smaller scale, I wouldn’t have them run down Pete walker’s five favorite cocktails either.

 

It’s bottom of the 5th in a boring home game vs Baltimore in the dog days of summer, here’s Dante’s five ways to keep your pregnant spouse happy. Number three will surprise you!!!

Where would this team be if we still had Musgrove? Sigh

[Laika]

Hmmmm they'd still be in Toronto probably

[Dagagad]

If we took Corbin as part of a Soto deal could we just not pay him when in Toronto if he refused to get vaccinated. We’d save half his salary for the remainder.

I am sure he'll get the vaccine for 38M USD lol.

[Laika]

I f***ing hate all of you losers

None of us should be rewarded.
