PHEW!!!!!!!!

 

Huge day for the pitching

 

They literally won it for us

[HomeRunHomer]

a win is a win

[BlueRocky]

Great win for Koochi

[Kordesi]

Good game!

[Brownie19]

And we're momentarily not in last place. That's nice. We may want to enjoy this for a brief second.

[hanton]

The difference in speed is massive and can prove valuable even at first base.

 

Yes, in general though is what I was referring to and the Jays were leading..

[BTS]

Somehow, this team has a real chance to go back to Toronto at 0.500

[Stangstag]

not a fun one, but a W

 

i'll take it

[G-Snarls]

I wanted to trade him two off seasons ago. People are still blind and can't see what's painfully obvious.

 

Should have traded him to the Braves when they let Freeman walk

 

If AA has a weakness it's being overly attached to players he previously had/was involved in drafting

LOL. Its crazy. If we ever start to play half decent we will be dangerous! Good for them. 1 more of 2 and its official.

 

Got to love Clement. That interview.

[Orgfiller]

lol Ernie Clement gives a very fun interview.

[The_DH]

God I f***ING HATE Vlad these days. The entitlement is just over the top. SHould be holding his head in shape and apologizing to the audience.

Indeed

 

With a very favorable pitching matchup tomorrow

[Halloweenjack]

Well done Blue Jays 👏👏

I think the Yankees might not pick up Stanton's 2028 option.

The fact that they are 2-2 in their last 4 games given how they've hit is a damn miracle. Pitching as expected is going to be the key to how this season goes. Basically need a repeat of 2023 in the aggregate and then hope for either internal development offensively or more realistically a bunch of trades at the deadline.

LOL. Ya don't say!

[hanton]

Kikuchi was on fire today - you can see he was on right from the start. Bottle that

I was thinking about this yesterday. I don't see many rental bats being available at the deadline this year. Most of the top free agents this off season are either on contenders or are pitchers.

It needs to rub off on the top 3 in the lineup FFS

[Brownie19]

He doesn't give a f***. He's been an entitled child his whole life and at this point, it's somewhat irrelevant what he does with his MLB career. At any point, he can go back to the DR and live off his earnings, momma's cooking and do whatever the f*** he wants.

[G-Snarls]

Cause so far this season:

 

Springer .120 /.267/ .360

 

Edit: Guerrero .172/.314/.276

 

Bichette .150/ .190/ .200

 

My f'n God. You can't keep this up and expect to play even 500 ball

[Spanky99]

Take the series tomorrow, boys...

 

[Laika]

never in doubt lfgggggggggggggggggg

 

the trick to enjoying the Blue Jays now is just to cheer for the pitchers. the bats are hopeless.

 

Kikuchi shoved. Richards and Yimi were great. Cabrera and Green got lucky.

 

wooooooooooooooo f*** you vlad you lard ass

[Hipfan]

I have to say I've never been so disappointed in a player. The hype he had coming into the majors as a 19/20 yr old, the massive 2021 season he had, gave me such hope for him. But the last 2 years he's been completely mediocre and every time he comes to bat I think "here comes another groundout". I really hope they trade him this year and go hard after Soto.

[hanton]

Ernie has to play

[The_DH]

Cause so far this season:

 

Springer .120 /.267/ .360

Guerrero .208 /.367 /.333

Bichette .150/ .190/ .200

 

My f'n God. You can't keep this up and expect to play even 500 ball

 

You sure about this? Guerrero was hitting .179 before the last strikeout. Might as well get the pitchers hitting.

[Brownie19]

Did JS manager well today? or get lucky?
