You would hope not, but he's only 22.  He was clearly better than lovelady in spring.  The only thing I can think of is service time. 

I think it was just that they wanted more of a look at Lovelady, and he had no options and Fluharty did 

[Spanky99]

Gimenez keeps on hittin'

[saskjayfan]

so Giminez is out best hitter..lol.  Who had that on their bingo card!

[BTS]

If Toronto doesn't tag this shitballer for at least 9 runs its time to panic

[saskjayfan]

Springer is going to hit this year.  I know I'm the only one who think so, but .800 OPS+ season is on its way.

[Spanky99]

RISP 1-1... Nice Georgie Peorgie!

[Omar]

Nice bounce back inning.  Let's go Jays.

Jays been hitting, it's the pitching letting us down thus far.

Yeah usually not great but getting 27K for the first Saturday is pretty bad. Last few years it was mid 30s I'd say.

First Saturday home game in 2023 was 41000 attendance, but it was also their 15th game of the season and they'd won 8 of their 10 games. Was against Tampa

First Saturday home game 2024 was 31,500, again, 15th game of the season, against Colorado. 4 and 6 over their previous 10. 

 

Edit:

Follow up, last time the Jays had a non-covid 1st Saturday home game in March was 2019. Attendance was just over 25K. against Detroit

Yeah, they were depth, Barnes gets kicked to the curb when Burr and or Swanson get back.

You're not the only one, hah. The bat speed has been fine and his numbers last year were depleted a bit by luck imo.

Attendance is going to be realllly weak the next 3 days. Be surprised if there is over 20K people in the building. Weather being atrocious doesn't help either.

Means it's the best time to go and take advantage of cheaper prices on StubHub!

Np. 

Baseball ref has them fairly easy to get at

[Spanky99]

F*ck off Urias.

[John_Havok]

Bassitt playing with fire every inning it seems. 

Sooner or later it's gonna catch up

[Eat My Shatkins]

f*** sakes it'd be nice to have an inning where the Orioles don't have multiple base runners. 

 

It'd also be nice if the Jays line drives they hit wouldn't be right at defenders

[Spanky99]

Nice... the Hound doing his thing.

I think they should aim them better... 😜

Yup. So far this game, the Jays have 5 balls in play with xba ranging from .470 to .740. 

only one of them went for a hit so far. 

Orioles are 5 hits for 6 in the same xba range. lol

[John_Havok]

Ummm... anyone else think those seats down the RF under the bleachers look like the single worst place to watch a game from ?

 

[Eat My Shatkins]

Another inning, another base runner for the Os

I was thinking that too. You wouldn't see s*** 

[Omar]

Hard to believe Bassitt has kept the O's to one run.  We need bops boys.

[Spanky99]

Nice, big K, good job by Bassitt today.

Kind of a mix really.... he's getting good run prevention results, but his stuff has been pretty meh overall. Flashes of some really good stuff though.
