GDT: 3/4 Blue Jays @ Guardians (Indians) 7:07

[Jonn]

Gausman could have finished the game on his own vs these scrubs

 

Agreed.

[tossingthiscoin]

GG. Hope our offense gets better next time.

[Masterbather]

As much as I enjoy well pitched games, I can't wait to get away from Cleveland.

[jaysguy44]

Would top off the night nicely if the O's lost now..

 

Rays already lost

[Omar]

Easy dub.

 

GG's

 

Well pitched game.

 

Schneider gets off on using as many relievers as possible so this is not surprising. At least it worked this time.

 

Win Win Win

 

We got the win but I think bringing in Hicks was overmanaging. Whatever though... we got the win baby!!!

 

Basically a copy from yesterday's game. Get the series win tomorrow!

 

GG Birds... great pitching.

 

Back to back 1-0 games

 

Holy s***

 

Never any doubt!

Syndergaard tomorrow though.

[gruber92]

Please no s***** line up tomorrow afternoon Schneids.

Forget about the O's, it's better if they beat Houston. We need Seattle to lose tonight.

[JaysAllMighty]

Please no s***** line up tomorrow afternoon Schneids.

 

post your lineup

[BigCecil]

Trading 1-0 Wins I'm not sure I've seen before. Wins a Win.

 

I hope to god they crush the pitcher formerly known as Thor tomorrow.

[Jonn]

Please no s***** line up tomorrow afternoon Schneids.

 

Should be putting his best possible lineup out there. All these games are way to important. Apparently the Mariners just don't lose in August and September the last 3 years so can't leave any wins on the table.

Nah, I still have faith that we can catch the O's

[thatoneguy]

Back to back 1-0 games

 

Holy s***

 

I am getting absolutely sick of these failed RISP opportunities though, jesus christ. This game shouldn't have been this close.

I'd replace the last 2 with Varsho and Biggio. Espy sucks and we need Varsho in CF

[travisinfla]

Speculation and results. There was some discussion on social media that he wasn’t really open to advice he was being offered. The Jays have tried multiple ways to communicate with him.

 

well I know who bassit was talking about when he said orioles are doing well because they listen to their hitting coach.

[gruber92]

I got DeJong and Varsho sitting to start. It's a 1pm game and we're neck high in a 17 straight game stretch. Need to rest some legs while inserting some fresh hungry ones. If Biggio could play short, then I'd say yes to him over Espinal.

This team pushed their chips into the middle of the table based on pitching and defense. Let's see where it takes them. I for one am optimistic. I think this team is capable of doing something special if/when they get in the playoffs.

Santiago:

2021: .311 BA, 32 runs, 69 hits, obp .376, 17 rbi

2022: .267 BA, 51 runs, 120 hits, obp .322, 51 rbi

2023: .218 BA, 23 runs, 34 hits, obp .299, 15 rbi

Biggio:

2021: .224 BA, 27 runs, 56 hits, obp .322, 27 rbi

2022: .202 BA, 43 runs, 52 hits, obp .318, 24 rbi

2023: .208 BA, 29 runs, 35 hits, obp .289, 22 rbi

[travisinfla]

this is fine and great but what about when we play the last 12 vs yankees and rays

[travisinfla]

Biggio at 2nd is ok, when they tried it him at 3rd it was a crapshow in 2021, espinal was ok at third, then he bulked up maybe lost some defense and this year he is mentally out of it, anyhow there both bench players

[travisinfla]

and Chapman hits slightly better than Grichuk but with his defense who cares

[Spanky99]

Trading 1-0 Wins I'm not sure I've seen before. Wins a Win.

 

I hope to god they crush the pitcher formerly known as Thor tomorrow.

 

I knew it was going to be a low scoring series, but... lol.

[travisinfla]

Thor is a shell of his former self

What are you worried about man, bench bats? Chapman?

 

There's nothing to worry about.

nothing just like bitching at times, I just want them to do better than 2020, 2021, 2022, get a W in the playoffs, and get into 2nd round. im happy for the guys I dont prefer like biggio when they perform, so I hope we do it.

[gruber92]

The o/u was actually 8.5?

[travisinfla]

I want a 2015 2nd half where teams get blown out. That was fun to watch. But in playoff ball pitching seems to trump hitting, think that's why Royals went to WS and Jays went home in 2015 ALCS.

[DigitalRock]

This offense is awful holy crap.

[Stangstag]

This offense is awful holy crap.

 

Really just awful with RISP
