Twins (Woods Richardson) vs Blue Jays (Lauer): 8/27/25, 7:07pm

[Doubleplay21]

John Schneider made a stupid decision sending Lauer to the bullpen, never used there then put back as a starter

[jmomcc]

I feel bad for Lauer. He was going great and he was messed with in terms of rest. 

[gruber9292]

The players are having a combined magical season but management is basement status.

If Lauer were throwing a perfect  game through 6 innings on 54 pitches, then Schneider would have pulled him, but when Lauer is giving up 10 home runs in a start, that’s when JS wants more length.

I agree with that scenario 

[Stangstag]

I think Lauer is officially out of the rotation lol

Yeah he’s had a long lay off and he was doing well before that. May have hurt him. He was clearly overachieving but sucks for him to be put in this spot.

You think that was a John Schneider decision?? Lol

Everybody has to be scared deep down to know what the next couple weeks are gonna do to us.

Barger has been exposed as a .200 hitter. Santander hopefully replaces him on the roster soon.

Yeah, lets replace a .250 hitter with 18 HR with a 

179 hitter with 6 HR coming back from a shoulder injury that has limited him to only 50 games.... that makes perfect sense.

If make a move, send Barger down, and call up Loperfido who was hitting 

358 and had 29 hits in only 30 games. Santander had 33 hits in his 50 games.

[Jays24]

What can you do when youre facing the powerhouse twins.

Wel duhh, the pregame plan said that Lauer must pitch between 4-5 innings 

[Nexii]

Well maybe we can win if we score 12 runs

Im not even sure that would be enough 

[gruber9292]

If we end up losing the division and get swept in the WC round, Rogers will reward Shatkins with another extension. 

[jaysthebest]

ATP, the Jays will get swept by the Brewers and the Sox will be in the 1st place.

[Stangstag]

Vladdy is the king of warning track flyouts right now. No power from the legs

It could be worse, total collapse

[Horses Fart]

The Sox and Yankees are coming hardcore.

I heard he has a lot of power 

[Mvjm79]

Jays need to step up and keep their urgency up when facing teams with poor records. there is NO way they should be having this kind of trouble with the Twins. Not too many teams doing worse then them.

Jays so far are 13-10 in August, likely 13-11 after today. This is what they REALLY are, not the stretch that saw then shoot to the top of the League. Too many mid range average players or injury prone roster members. Too much inconsistency and not any player that can be absolutely trusted to always come through. Sporadic offence and sloppy pitching with poor player decisions by the coaching staff.

The Jays dont have a long man so that means everyone needs to get used to get through the game.  Lucky for us we have tomorrow off so its doable. 

Bruihl.

[june.june]

Jays likely leapfrogged both Angles and Orioles after tonight

 

top 3 just behind the Rockies and As, teams given up most HRs this season

 

fugly

[Jays24]

So Nance is our best bullpen arm eh

What? The offence has been great in August, 130 wrC+

It's been absolutely awful pitching that's been sinking us. 

[Doubleplay21]

Nance being the mop up man while Varland is still a high leverage does seen ass backwards.
