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

 

Matt?

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.

Lauer was fantastic today. I'll take that kind of start all day everyday from a swingman type.

Fisher has gotten some big outs the last two days

He was a very pleasant surprise in the pen last season and appears to be picking up where he left off. 

[Alejandro Murphy]

Tough if when Trey and Biebs comes back

 

Eric Lauer has to accept the reality 

but Jays to rid of Little, no ifs or buts

Jays shop exclusive. $950 is the price 😬

Jays Shop used to sell merch online.  Now they don't. Only in store.

Having Lauer as the leftie from the bullpen instead of Little would be a huge upgrade

Yes 💯 him and Flu should be fine As our BP southpaws 

 

zero trust on Little at all

A huge sample size already to have determined that

Thats if we actually use him.  We kinda screwed that up last year and found Lauer does well no matter how you used him.  

[Jays24]

I still think you use Little in low leverage spots and then give him another shot before cutting any ties. 

I understand Spring Training means next to nothing but he did look great there.

Excellent outing for Fisher. 

[Alejandro Murphy]

Fischer 👏

[BTS]

The B team out of the pen doing work 

[Waylanderz]

Let's go Flu!  Fix up that INF ERA!

[Jonn]

Fluharty has a lot to prove this year. Can he be the main lefty out of an MLB pen.

Elite challenge by Heiny.

It looks like he's added velo to his cutter. I'm curious to see how the changeup plays against right handed bats. 

[Jonn]

Going to be crazy when a big moment is decided by ABS on a ball barely touching the strikezone. But hey this is what everyone wanted. 

[Alejandro Murphy]

Flu Fever

Like every Manfred rule change: I thought I'd hate it and actually really like it

I do like it, holds them accountable more. Just don’t let vladdy use it 

[harvey16]

I like ABS but definitely think it needs to be tweaked. I think as it currently works it gives to big of an advantage to Pitchers. For it to be a strike I think at least half the ball needs to be in the zone.

[Alejandro Murphy]

Hoffman 

LOL

 

this should be easy peasy for our closer

[Jonn]

The Hoff Round 2.

If this Closer thing doesn't work out. They just rebooted Baywatch.

[Jonn]

Tyler Soderstrom has absolutely no chin, Wonder when the Dodgers are going to pick him up.

[Angrioter]

On more Hoff 

[Omar]

That's three in a row for the good guys to start the season....

with three dingers to boot.

 

[Jonn]

Good Hoffman. Muncy couldn't touch your fastball blow it right by him.

Easy dub.

[max silver]

Nice outing for Hoffman. He's struck out 6 hitters in his first two innings and his stuff looks very good to start the season.
