• Gavin Williams vs. Scherzer
• Cantillo vs. Gausman
• Cecconi vs. Cease

Tough matchup tonight but I like the other two a lot.

The reinforcements are coming, it's probably series to series at this point.

So let's win this series and then go on a run in May.

Lets Go Blue Jays!

Wonder if Springer will suit up and how far out Barger is.

George Springer has been busy selling his mansion!

Sounds like Springer could be back as soon as Saturday. Sunday or Monday seem more realistic.

Barger shouldn't be too far behind but they might want to get him into some game action first. 

We'll probably get a good update tonight before the game.

[Terminator]

With Yesavage and Berrios returning soon, this is a big start for both Max and Lauer.

If Max deals we might have seen the last of Eric Lauer as a starting pitcher for the Jays. Might even be the last we see of him in a Jays uni period unless they are willing to option Mantiply who is throwing really well.

If Max struggles, I could see an IL stint in his immediate future and it could buy Lauer some more time.

Right now Corbin, Lauer and Scherzer are lined up to face the Red Sox in our next series.

Hopefully we can get Yesavage in there for one of those games lol.

Springer is a dawg, knew he wouldn’t be missing much time. People were quoting 4-6 weeks lol

Schneider - Hoffman, you will be pitching only if it is 10-1 or 1-10.  Hoffman - "Sounds good.  I am not the best closer right now, but if I pitch good in the 10-1 games maybe you will reconsider me."

Schneider - LIttle and Rodiriquez.  You are going to Buffalo.  Little and Rodriquez - "OK skip, there are worse places, we will try to learn better control in a stress free environment and hopefully see you all soon." 

Schneider - Lauer, you will have an opener but a great opportunity to pad your ERA and vulture a win.  Lauer "You die *******.  I will not suffer such an indignity.  Go to hell.  Straight to hell.  I kick your fat ass and stat-boys Shitkins soft ass too"

Little is pitching fantastic in Buffalo. He may be back. The Buffalo stint has really been good to him.

What happens if he returns and gets shelled again?

Sosa at DH over Eloy IMO tells us who they plan on cutting when Springer returns.

It's kind of remarkable that a 30-year old slop throwing journeyman has managed to become the most unlikeable player on the team. We shouldn't even know what this guy sounds like. 

[Jays24]

I think Lauer took the whole arbitration process to heart when it felt like he was a great teammate last year who sacrificed for the greater good of the game and still got penny pinched for it.  

With that said, you are on a World Series contender so

Davidi on Hoffman.....

BABIP .609

I really don't pay too much attention to babip but that's a crazy high number

Both Cleveland teams are in town this weekend!

He can be a weapon out of our pen once he gets right, whether that's as a setup guy or a return to closer at some point. We need the Hoffman of 2023/2024 on this team. He was one of the best relievers in baseball those two seasons. 

I know he's struggled, but tough guy to root against. Hope he turns it around.

Max look like s*** early

Scherzer does NOT look good out there.
