Kaz!!!!!!!!!

[John_Havok]

Kaz being a legit threat ... would be amazing

 

Also, what's the record for strikeouts for the first 3 games of the season by the starters? Jays SP are on a tear right now

[Stangstag]

Big Oak!

[Orgfiller]

That was an elite swing. 97 driven the opposite field with serious authority.

[Jonn]

That was a nuke oppo.

Okamoto looks super legit so far on both sides of the field. I was expecting a bit of an adjustment period but he's been fantastic so far. 

[Angrioter]

New guys Jesus and Oka performing... 

[PitaBaby]

Going to be a fun year my friends.

Lauer at 79 pitches. Tired pen. Top of the order coming up. Do you try to squeeze more outs from him?

[Jonn]

I think Lauer knows he might need to throw 110 pitches regardless. Atleast gotta get him through 6.

The amazing speedster Heineman getting in their heads!

Seriously though, that was just weird.

He's been calling a good game vs A's hitters. 

[Jonn]

Now would be a good time to put a little less stress on the pitching staff.

[ComeTogether]

Too bad only got 1 run.

There's 0% chance of that being allowed to happen in his first start of the season.

He just looks like this cool and collected veteran.  A guy with confidence in his game.

Jays shop exclusive. $950 is the price 😬

[Jonn]

All things considered that’s about as well as we could hope he could pitch today. Lets see if they have enough arms to finish this one off.

It's funny. 30 years ago pulling your pitcher early on opening weekend meant pulling him at 100 pitches. Nowadays managers seem to get ansy in the middle of the season when the starting pitcher gets over 80.

I will always be a fan of Matt Lauer especially how he held the fort last season

good job on his first start of the 2026 season
