Blue Jays (Urena) vs Mariners (Miller): 5/11/25, 4:10pm

[John_Havok]

Why do I giggle every time they say Mastrobuoni...?

[Orgfiller]

Lauer strikes out the side, damn.

[Omar]

6-9 in our lineup can be called the babip boys!

[Masterbather]

This would be a horribly frustrating game to watch as a Mariners fan.

Clase finally does something useful!

 

I'd love to see him steal 3rd now

Vladdy missed a fat meatball 

[Omar]

Vlad getting under everything or driving it into the ground.  He can't win.

only at home plate thought, not with the dinner plate.

his average launch angle today is 28 degrees, which would be awesome!

 

its just that to get that average its ... -16, 8, 51 and 70. Fun with numbers!

Well, he's got 14 years to figure it out.  *gulp*

[hanton]

as we've been saying the kid needs to play

[gruber9292]

The emergence of Addison Barger 

[John_Havok]

NICE BARGER BOMB!

[Omar]

Great to see Barger go yard in his home state where he has lots of family at the game.  Happy for him

[Gen.Disarray]

That got out in a hurry. Watching Barger crush baseballs is very satisfying. I'd love to see him smash a golf ball 

[John_Havok]

Hehe more fun with numbers...

one ball gets hit at 107.2 EV and 21 degrees... goes 363 for a HR

next ball gets hit at 105.4 EV and 21 degrees, goes 8 FEET FURTHER... for a double. 

[gruber9292]

So it looks like it's Barger and Lukes  for the foreseeable future with Roden and Wagner as depth. 

[John_Havok]

This is the game and series that is going to give us all irrational hope for the rest of the season... 

Imagine a top 5 of Bo actually hitting, Vlad murdering baseballs, Santander coming back and hitting taters, followed by a performing Barger and Springer. 

Boner inducing. 

[Omar]

Mariners are good hittin'

[John_Havok]

12 hits... 9 runs. 

THATS HOW YOU DO BASEBALL DONNIE

[Omar]

Even though Lauer is cruising, Schneider will use at least three more arms to finish this game.  

[Doubleplay21]

 Giménez as a bench player would the future of the Jays. Need someone to take that big contract for a .200 hitter.

[Masterbather]

I'm not sure how this Mariners team has been winning so much lately.

[Omar]

Someone tell John Schneider the score.  

[John_Havok]

I swear this is the only fan base that complains about the managers pitching moves when the opposition has 1 run on 3 hits over 7 innings.

He has a propensity of overworking his pen.  We've seen it already this season with Hoffman, Garcia. John Gibbons was great at saving his arms.

A. That's not true, every fan base is the same.

B. If they only complain when management decisions go poorly that's just hindsight.

I actually didn't see an issue with any of his pitching decisions today. They were sensible.

This is true. Especially with Yimi, he overplayed his hand. 

[glory]

Schneider probably threw a tantrum between innings knowing he couldn't use Hoffman or Garcia in this game due to the score. 

Seriously though, great to see the bats waking up. They needed at least one (likely more than that) young bat to turn into something, and maybe we are seeing that with Barger.
