Keep beating bad(ish) teams, keep the Yankees at bay.

[Big_Walleye]

A Jays win and a Yankers loss today would be 👌

Yeah I guess we cheer for the Red Sox today and tomorrow 

Feels gross 

[Laika]

Sugano should be good hittin 

The again, Jason Alexander should have been good hittin 

[Jonn]

Good Max today please. On paper the Jays should be a nightmare matchup for Sugano.

[Perfect Game]

 

[Laika]

Yessss Schneider in there 

Maybe his dad is seeing the light

This seems to largely be dependent on how he's feeling physically on his start day. Hopefully the back issue is behind him sufficiently to allow him to air out his pitches fully.

DS in against a RHP instead of Loperfido.

Online bullying works (or common sense prevailed, whichever you prefer).

Quite surprised Davis Schneider in against a right hand pitcher. Why is Schneider changing his style ? The computer says left hitter.

[Omar]

Glad Heiny is in today.  Kirk needs a break.  He looked terrible yesterday.

[Doubleplay21]

The home run ball has plagued Scherzer. Maybe that is why Laurer is kept as insurance if Scherzer faulters.

He's 0 for his last 18 at bats. Not just yesterday.

Would put Babe at 2B and Joey in LF.

Like Clement but I think we are better off woth him in a platoon

Scheinder has hit righties significantly better than lefties this year.

You're right!

 

[G-Snarls]

Crazy how much better he's hit at home

If it's Clement vs Loperfido, then I'm fine with Clement in there. Better defense and I'm not convinced there's much difference in the bat. Joey is rocking a near .500 BABIP with an ocean blue statcast page. Regression will hit him very hard. Clement going back to a platoon or non-everyday role makes more sense when Santander and hopefully Bo come back.

This is what I'm looking for! Scherzer has kind of been meh and the Jays really need him to start pitching well with the Postseason around the corner. Scherzer in top form as the #3 guy would be huge in a 5 or 7-game series.

People jumped the gun with him a little too quickly, but his penchant for giving up fly balls and subsequent home runs is something that I'm not sure is going to change. 

I'm starting to feel more and more like Bassitt might be the number three guy.

Bassitt has been pitching well lately, and has dominated at home. Ideal situation would be if you could start Bassitt only at home in a series. He's looking like he may surpass Scherzer as the #3 guy. 

Too bad Lauer lost his mojo he had earlier as well, since he could have been a nice #3. 

Right now would line the rotation up as:

1) Gausman

2) Bieber

3) Bassitt

4) Scherzer

Things could change however over the next two weeks. 

[Jays24]

There's no reason to really project the rotation for the playoffs with how easily peoples opinions change after every start.  Refency bias will win out during the last week of the season imo.

By people you mean the team, correct?
