Blue Jays (Bassitt) vs Cardinals (Mikolas): 6/10/25, 7:45pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

The Cardinals came back and forced last night's games into extras? Ugh, they're the worst.

It's been great being able to confidently hit the yes button on these polls nearly every day.

[Terminator]

We are going to crush Mikolas tonight

I wouldn't want to bet on this one, coin flip game. Should be a good one.

Jays were a bit over even money yesterday before the game, which was great value. Today they're paying a $1.80 last time I checked for money line.

Was just looking at our schedule, we have off days on the upcoming Thursday and Monday, we don't even need the upcoming start from Francis. Bonus.

Vlad not in the lineup tonight.

Lame but probably not a bad idea to give him a breather

That is...some kind of lineup. Lefty heavy, Mikolas isn't really much worse against lefties but whatever.

Bassitt is quite a bit better than Mikolas. Anything could happen of course, but the odds are definitely in our favour for this game.

Giminez and Lukes need to be flipped in the line up at the very least. This is getting to a point where it's obvious that Schneider is getting marching orders from Ross, as his prize trade possession that will be earning north of $20M gets slotted in the middle of the order. 

Hilarious

They should bat Kirk leadoff this game lol

Whether two limp dick hitters like Lukes or Gimenez are 7 and 5 or 5 and 7 really doesn't matter. 

Realistically nobody in the lineup today is a #5 hitter. 

but... if you look at recency bias... Gimenez is 112 wRC+ in June, Lukes is 48.   Season as a whole favours Lukes.

Interesting lineup, Jays got dis'

[jaysthebest]

Schneider said it will be a regular rotation for the Phillies series, so I think Francis' next start will be his last start before he gets demoted.

[jaysblue]

Blue Jays odds went from 1.80 to 2.10 now I guess with Vladdy out of the lineup. Haha. 

[Spanky__99]

Lukes out of lineup with general soreness in his neck area. From the collision with Gimenez obviously, Vlad was a scheduled day off.

[Spanky__99]

GO JAYS GO!!!

 

[neverbeenhere]

base hit, great way to start

[Masterbather]

Boom!

[neverbeenhere]

That's what we expect from Vlad

[Spanky__99]

Gimenez nuked that ball, lol(h8ers)... Jays in Flight!

[Jays24]

Apologize to Gimenez just for today!

*im sorry

No he wasn't 

Lukes was but was a late scratch

Has anyone said why?

Lukes was pulled for neck discomfort after jerking his head too quickly to watch Clase's homer last night
