Braves (Strider) vs Blue Jays (Bassitt): 4/16/25, 1:07pm

[Masterbather]

Have missed most of the game due to work, it's like everything is going pretty swimmingly. Bassitt continues to dominate and look who finally ran into one. Got it lined up for the win now.

Arenado recently said he only nixed the trade to Houston because he was uncertain of their direction by letting Bregman and Tucker go.  Maybe the Vlad extension can show him we mean business and would be open to coming here?

yeah I was thinking that + he is off to a damn good start + every month that goes by is one less month on his deal... only 2 more years after 2025 anyway 

[Terminator]

The Braves are easy to beat

[Masterbather]

Nice AB Bo 

[Jays24]

Bo knows hitting

Straw with the immense swagger jogging home after stealing second to set himself up for an easy run. What a player.

Climbing the list as one of the shrewdest trades in Blue Jays history...

Maybe if they struggle bad enough, we can steal their GM😉

Vlad trying to prove he's just as good as Soto by shuffling on his takes now too lol.

[Laika]

remember when trading for Myles Straw was a fireable offense? 

[Terminator]

Pierce Johnson is their best reliever and he could only record one out 😂

It seems to be working, let him cook

I'm working on my Varsho trades as we speak.  Would Arizona do Varsho for Moreno/Gurriel you think? Lol

C'mon Clement, a base hit there to score two would have been huge. 

How long do Jays go with Ernie and his slap happy hitting?

i'd prefer seeing Martinez given a run at 3B

I think defense is the top priority at 3B. Doesn't have to be an elite defender but somebody reliable. 

[Laika]

Jimmy Garcia or Rordan Jomano? 

Remember that one too? 

Boss Atkins 

[bronson44]

Damn Yimi

[Jays24]

Garcia has been unreal for us again this year.  The guy must really hate Seattle lol

[glory]

Wow, Garcia dominated the Braves best hitters there.

Ernie is an elite defensive 3B 

[Orgfiller]

Garcia just steamrolled past the Braves' 1-4.

[BatFlip]

Yimi on fire.

[Masterbather]

Yimi wasn't f***ing around. 

Fresh Yimi is scary Yimi.

Baasit 0.77 ERA on the season LOL

[G-Snarls]

Team just looks killer today

Wow

[Orgfiller]

Despite the off day I wouldn't mind tacking on two more and letting Fluharty close it out. Don't have to use our top arms every time even if we have a break. Save those bullets for late in the season.

That's the thing, even if he's a below average hitter if he can just hit well enough you would like to be able to deal with it but I'm not sure the lineup is strong enough to carry his bat. I don't mind sacrificing his glove but I don't want a butcher to replace him is all I'm saying.

I believe Orelvis is K'ing 50% of the time in AAA.  That equates to like 75% in MLB
