The team DOES NOT prepare at all for opposing starters. Its pretty f***ing clear at this point 

It was amazing. They jump on his first pitch fastball and hit 3 singles on 4 pitches to start the game. 

The pitching coach comes out and then he just starts spamming sliders in the dirt and they K 3 times in a row.

So the extent of their preparation was something like Donny Baseball saying “he likes to throw first pitch strikes” 5 mins before the game started

Yariel has been looking better lately

[Omar]

YRod puts out the fire.  

[Terminator]

Jays are back baby

[hanton]

that's the swing we want to see from Varsho

[Masterbather]

If they don't watch themselves they might actually win a game tonight.

[Omar]

That is a big hr by Varsho.

[HomeRunHomer]

Solid couple of innings from Yariel.

[Terminator]

The team looked incredible from the 3rd inning on. 

Outscored them 8 to 1.

[HomeRunHomer]

Jays win!

Varsho has a 40% K rate with a .455 ISO. That’s real f***ing baseball right there. None of that “put the ball in play and something good will happen” ********. No shortening up the swing with two strikes to roll one over to the third baseman. Just pure unadulterated damage, whiffs be damned. 50/50 shot he enters a game under the Mendoza line at any given game but that SLG is gonna be above .480.

Vladimir “Ichiro without the speed and defense” Guerrero Jr. with a sub 20% K rate and a .137 ISO. Pathetic. Bo Bichette with a .300 batting average and a wRC+ below league average. Puke in my mouth.

George Springer. Power, damage, strikeouts, walks. That’s a baseball player. His leadership and vetrin presents will allow others to follow Varsho’s approach.

Daulton Varsho is saving our season.
