May is here.

 

Time for the Jays offense to go on a heater.

[Stangstag]

No Bregman today, nice

[connorp]

Gausman still needs to dethrone AM as ace. He’ll have to keep pace today

I'm good having two 'aces'

 

Nice to have Gausman, Manoah and Berrios all locked in/under control for the next 5+ years.

Right now I think the Jays have two aces and could argue that Gausman has been as good as it gets in the entire league...let along the Jays roster. Yes, hoping he continues his complete domination.

 

Both have been incredible and have helped carry the team through a rough April.

 

Offense has to turn the corner and show up today. Today is the day the offense must announce its presence and they are back to business as usual.

Holy s*** 4 met starters in the top 28 and that's with their best starter on the IL

[Angrioter]

Gausman no walks and 31 ks

What about Ray?

[max silver]

This would be a decent looking lineup if Tapia was hitting in the #9 spot. Seriously, what’s it going to take for them to stop giving Zimmer at bats?

 

Getting Teo back onto the roster.

[Ray]

Actually kind of excited to see Vinny Capra. He seemingly turned a corner after 2020 and has been doing well in the minors since. Specifically against LHP:

 

’21 @ AA: .493/.541/.866

’22 @ AAA: .364/.417/.455

[Eat My Shatkins]

At least Zimmer is good in CF

 

Remember the days of Derek Fisher trying to catch fly balls with his f***ing forehead?

At least that was kind of entertaining

There’s really nobody in the minors they couldn’t give a chance to? They’re looking pretty dumb for DFA’ing Josh Palacios.

 

The upper minors are pretty barren for the Jays when it comes to outfield depth. I agree the DFA of Palacios was a real head scratcher to say the least.

[Daniel Labude]

Go Blue Jays!!!

Samad Taylor will get a chance at some point

[DigitalRock]

Man we really need to get the bats going.

[Omar]

[Jays2champs]

Great call to start lol...

[Jays2champs]

Nice, quick first inning.

[Omar]

Last time we play the Stros this season. Until the playoffs:cool:

[BlueJays]

Gausman no walks and 31 ks

What about Ray?

30.1 IP 12 BB 26K in 5 starts

[DigitalRock]

Love Springer, good AB

[max silver]

30.1 IP 12 BB 26K in 5 starts

 

He's pitched ok so far but velocity is down several ticks early on compared to last year.

[Jays2champs]

Good contact Bo

[EdwinsParrot]

Damn. At least bo looks better.

[DigitalRock]

Ugh s*** luck.

[max silver]

Damn rough luck for Bo.

[Carlos Danger]

Did Pat just say that might have scored Zimmer?
