GDT - May 11 3:07 ET - (2/3) Twins @ Jays

Nice win even though the temptation is to be like that fan they cut to in Major League when the team wins a few and some fans are happy and he’s like “they’re still s*****”

 

Let’s see

[Fighting_Yeti]

Great game Jays!!!

[Halloweenjack]

Let’s hope this result is the catalyst to go on a good run.

 

Go Blue Jays

[Eat My Shatkins]

Hopefully they can build off this and get on a roll.....

 

....but....Manoah on the bump tomorrow lol

If Manoah by some miracle pitches a good game tomorrow, only then will I truly believe we are turning things around. Don't f*** it up lol

[HomeRunHomer]

It's so nice to see the bats creating some offense. Very nice win.

[DigitalRock]

great comeback, signs of life from the offense

[Laika]

Well f*** me

 

Maybe that's a turning point?

 

Schneider is kind of beasting offensively. Vlad looks to have figured something out for sure, his AVG has rocketed up. Jansen is taking the starting C job and his bat really stretches the lineup.

 

Ernie Clement needs to be in there more often. Two way player. Probably better than Biggio even against RHP.

 

Springer and KK are honestly both at risk, somewhat, of losing at bats.

[The_DH]

gotta admit, his swing has been better since he talked to Teoscar. Not so closed anymore.

I really hope the Manoah from the first few innings of his last start shows up and the not the guy that was shelled later in the game.

[max silver]

Am I dreaming? We may not see something like this for another 5 years considering the rebuild.

 

It would be nice if he can go on a bit of a heater and recapture some trade value.

 

Jesus man what is wrong with you. You are like the ultimate buzz kill, lighten the f*** up for once in your miserable life.

[Spanky99]

Hahaha... are bats came through and stepped up for our Ace... our pitching best turn it around or they're toast.

[Spanky99]

Eeyore, dude.

[Spanky99]

DS better play every single game from here on out. He got enough rest days in April.

 

Hopefully he's finally earned some rope from the front office. I don't recall the team having a player make such a dramatic impact with the bat and then having the team literally looking for any possible reason to keep him out of the lineup instead of giving him a chance to see what he can do.

 

Yes, please.

[Spanky99]

It’s gonna happen.

 

Damn, right... you could feel it.

[Spanky99]

The offense is back

 

Swanson is back

 

Jimmy Garcia is back

 

If Romano shows he’s back in the 9th this team is officially back and primed for a run

 

Woohoo!!!

[Spanky99]

Forgot about Manoah going tomorrow

 

The team will be officially be back on Monday

 

lmao... hoping for a good Manoah, bro. But that was funny AF.

[Spanky99]

We're back baby!!!!

I believe so too.

This is a little surprising but Kirk has low key been nearly as hot as Jansen has been with the bat since around the time that Jansen returned. Maybe more days off for Kirk is key to keep his bat fresh but since mid April he's produced a 174 wRC+ in 35 PA, vs 178 wRC+ from Jansen (increased a good amount to 198 wRC+ after tonight). I think that instead of playing Kirk even less the smart move would be more DH time for Jansen, whether that means a little more time at third base for Turner or a few more rest days mixed in for Turner as he's gone ice cold at the plate with only a 75 wRC+ in the same period of time.

I have to admit I thought Davis Schneider might be a flash in the pan who came up like Lawrie to rake and then died. He did rake and the league adjusted. Then he adjusted and he is beating the league again. It’s been really cool to watch 4th liner grinder elevate his play to the top line on our team. (Bad hockey analogy but maybe fits).

Agreed. Gives me hope that maybe there are a couple more like him (and Clement) down on the farm. Barger, Martinez...

He just went back with his approach in school and worked with Hague, dude's a real good story. Hah, love that Tank.
