Blue Jays (Bieber) vs Reds (Littell): 9/3/25, 6:40pm

[Omar]

Imagine this version of Springer for the last five years?

[hanton]

Springer has 27 home runs.   Very strange because I don't see much of a change to his swing...etc  a little more tilt and attack angle I guess

Maybe staing off his feet more has helped

[G-Snarls]

Only Spanky got my Naked Gun joke 

[glory]

Barger in the last 2 months has a 0 WAR and 73 wRC+ in 50 games (192 PA). If you want a LHB in the #2 spot then might as well put Varsho there at this point.

Especially when he was an above average outfielder too

Bieber is a worrisome

He was still really damn good his first two seasons before completely falling off in 2023.

Huh? Bieber is on the normal 4 days of rest so you can't blame extra rest here. 

He has been working on 5 days rest.

His attack angle is clearly different.  Maybe Vladdy should spend some time with him instead of eating pb&j sandwiches.

At least ikf isn't playing

Wouldn't hate seeing him win another World Series MVP...

Imagine if we got 2021 Vladdy this year. Or 2022 Gausman. 2023 Swanson/Garcia.

Jays have had pretty bad luck with guys all having career years at different times and not all at once.

[Omar]

I haven't seen a great Vladdy swing since he came back.  This is a problem.

4 days rest is normal rest for a starting pitcher. You can't complain about the manager screwing up the rotation's rest and causing bad starts when the pitcher is pitching on normal 4 day rest. 

[ComeTogether]

Tough outing for Bieber.

Offense need to respond.

[Terminator]

Strap in boys, the comeback is on 

[Spanky__99]

Varsho... Flexin'

Nice Kirky... it's on.

[Stangstag]

Solo homeruns kinda stink…

[dancingmachine]
