Orioles (Rogers) vs Blue Jays (Bassitt): 9/12/25, 7:07pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

Another series win, please. Tough pitching matchup tonight.

[Laika]

Trevor Rogers has one bad start this year and it was his second game. 

Every other outing he has gone 5.1 + IP with more strikeouts than walks. 

12 of his 15 starts have been 6+ innings. 

Possibly the *best pitcher in baseball* if you shrink the IP cutoff to let him be on the list. Third in FIP behind Skenes and Skubal. First in ERA. 

Would be nice to be the first team to get to him. 93 Stuff+ with plus Locations, it should be doable.

GO Jays GO!!!

[GoBlue41]

It is a tough pitching matchup but it's just time to curb stomp these SOBs who have gotten in the way all season. Let's Go Jays!!

[G-Snarls]

Win 2/3 

Starting with a win today would rock 

[Terminator]

Stack the lineup with righties be ready for his changeup!

They usually suck at change up’s… prove me wrong 

[Governator]

If Bassit can keep the runs to 2 or less like he's been doing of late, then the game is winnable for the Jays' style of play regardless of how good Rogers is tonight.  Nothing has stopped the Jays from grinding out starting pitchers, working counts and damaging the BP.  Kind of feels like most games are winnable this year for them.

Vlad and Springer have struggled with changeups, Varsho and Kirk have raked.

That's certainly a lineup.

Name-wise it's pretty terrible but gotta get the righties in there against Rogers

And this leaves some quality reinforcements on the bench for pinch hitting later in the game in Barger, Varsho and Lukes.

Rogers has positively owned left handed hitters this season so it's best practice to leave most of them on the bench until later in the game.

[Terminator]

Gimenez at SS is interesting

They've put IKF at 3B, Clement at SS and Gimenez at 2B previously

Wish we had Bo for this one 

[Jays24]

Giving Gimenez a head start for his position next year. 

Cant hit worth a lick so might as well earn as much of that contract by maximizing his defensive value lol. 

[Spanky__99]

The Canadian *Glassman* is back tonight for the O's, O'Neill. That dude is very frustrating to own in Fantasy.

This means they don't really like IKF as a shortstop (makes sense)

Clement is a stud 3B so this might actually be the best infield defensive alignment they can put out there.

What the hell is Tyler O'Neill's problem?

Misses the entire year but he makes damn well sure that he plays all 13 games against the Jays

Or theyre getting ready to DFA IKF once Santandar/Bo are activated and want to see how this alignment would look if Bo has to DH.

FINALLY

[G-Snarls]

Agree with Blair and Barker just now 

Win two out of three against Baltimore 

And

Neither team wins all three games in Boston this weekend 

That's a good weekend for us

[glory]

Fully on board with Gimenez at SS, now and moving forward. Obviously if Bo is healthy then for respect reasons they'll keep him at SS, but if Bo is out, then Gimenez at SS is the way to go. If you're going to pay someone $20M a year with that skill set, then it should be at a premium position, but that's a 2026-beyond issue.

Red Sox win 2 of 3 ideally for me. The Yankees schedule is easiest. We also have some direct influence over the Red Sox.

[Spanky__99]

Yeah, this is a '26 thing going forward, he's getting reps in case Bo can't play the position.

[Horses Fart]

This is the O’s everyone so we can fully expect the chances to drop all 3. Please God I’m wrong. Let’s Frikin go boys.
