Did Andrés Giménez do something to Schneider? How the hell is Lenyn Sosa and Okamoto being prioritized over him?

In the past, it seems like the Jays have always heated up when playing in Arizona. Not sure if it's just me. 😂

No worries. I’ll fix them. I’m going to the Sunday game.

Crazy we lost 2 games because of a bunch of infield choppers and bunts. 
 

A couple extra runs from the offense would’ve been nice

Nut up buttercup! Better days ahead!

What would Gimenez have to do with that? They don't think Davis can play Second Base and they don't think he can hit right-handed pitching which is the clear picture we have got from the last year and half. Okamoto is going to play because they gave him $64 million. Sosa is going to play because they traded for him despite not having a defensive position but can hit with some pop which the team has very little off at the moment and had especially none off the bench.

I don't know what either of you Birds were watching? Gimenez played SS and went 2-3 with a steak, get back in your f***ing lane, bro!

Not what I asked Spanky. I asked what Gimenez had anything to do with Scheneider.

Jays have such an odd schedule; not until game 28 of the season do they play a single team in their division.  Also, outside two September series with the Orioles, the Jays are otherwise done with division play on Aug 23rd! The team really needs to gel before the end of April and stay hot until the end of August. Losing these early games isn't ideal but at least we aren't losing to our division rivals.

Honestly having read his post back now your right. I read that as Davis not John. Still don’t understand the main point but that’s my bad otherwise.

You're wrong on a lot Jonn... check the history.

Here, you're correct. There was no point it seems,  Papa's Gut is all good. 

Your name is Jonn, right?

I meant Gimenez in that batting order hitting below Sosa and Okamoto.

He’s off to a decent start but he has a long track record of being a bad hitter who should be hitting at the bottom of the order and is the ideal #9 hitter on this team with a fully healthy lineup.

Oak has long track record of being one of the best hitters in Japan. Hasn’t materialized here yet. But we have seen flashes.

With how bad the team has been offensively they can really try almost anything at this point. I personally have been more disappointed by the Defense. That’s something we didn’t even worry about last year and now it’s very much a problem.

Really puts in perspective quickly how good we had it with Kirk. Not only did you lose his bat you lost him just fundamentally making all the correct plays.

Get him back in that cleanup spot!  He's cookin'

Bugs me how good Otto Lopez is. Exactly the kind of player Toronto likes, too!

Another thing that's impressive about him, is despite the relatively small frame, he's been improving his EV and max EV each year. 108.8 in 24, 111.2 in 25, and already topped out at 112.8 this season! Marlins got a gem.

Sneakiest 5 tool player in baseball.

Sprint: 74th percentile, and BsR / SB to match
Arm: well, he's playing shortstop
Defense: plus at SS or double plus at 2B
Hit: 90th percentile for avoiding Ks and squaring up the ball, in 2025
Power: NEW FOR 2026 - 54th percentile bat speed, somehow red in every EV stat. You can't fake MaxEV.

A rare Shatkins mistake

[Jonn]

You're always bound to lose a good one due to a numbers game and roster crunch at some point. I feel like the Blue Jays have rarely been punished by this in the past compared to some other teams. Maybe like a reliever or here at that couple good seasons if anything.

On the flip side its kinda cool that Marlins team 3 best players right now are Canadian.
