Need Lauer to be good tomorrow, not the puss we've seen so far, like where did that 1st start of the season go? I feel a series W on the horizon.

When was the last time we had a clean 9th in a save situation? No baserunners, no stress, what is this?!

Great win!

It feels like it was 2022...it seems incredibly rare these days.

Oh no, a bunch of dudes who ive never met on a message board dont like me.  How will I ever go on in life...

Get the hell over yourselves.  You guys have bullied numerous folks off this board and and are just whining like little girls because i dont care lol.  

Jays won so not sure why y'all are crying today.  Go Jays Go!

I have never been as wrong about anything as much as the varland trade.

Lol at it being Popkins' fault that a lineup featuring Lenyn Sosa, Eloy Jimenez and Brandon Valenzuela isn't scoring enough runs

He's a good MLB coach not a miracle worker

Yeah seriously, the lineups have been ass with all the injuries. Then you have Lukes with vertigo getting plate appearances for some reason, Heineman/Valenzuela being the catching tandem for the foreseeable future, Okamoto coming over from Japan (so adjusting to the bigs), Sosa/Eloy being depth pieces, etc. Besides that, the actual MLB talent not on the IL (Vlad, Gimenez, Varsho, Clement, Sanchez) are all performing within reasonable levels. Anyone expecting Popkins to turn one of us into big league hitters is going to be disappointed.

It's been me ripping Popkins.  I'm just stirring the pot 😂

Some of us have been calling for this since early last season when we hoped we'd land a closer during last seasons trade deadline.  

Well, we did with Varland :P

Looking back, it’s too bad they never tried Varland in that role last summer when Hoffman was struggling, but oh well. Who knows what might have been.

Regardless, Varland looks fantastic in the role early on, and Hoffman seems much more comfortable in the seventh inning. The bullpen just feels and looks a lot better this way.

well I guess they found a spot for Hoffman, bridge to the closer.  I wonder if he can pitch like this in the 8th

If he keeps looking like tonight, for sure he'll get opportunities. The Jays have Rogers anyways, so nice to have options and different looks in the late innings!

Kinda just shouting into the void then? Because nobody really cares about what you have to say, other than to tell you you’re an idiot.

Anyways… thanks for contributing to the thread I guess? Lets do all this again tomorrow

Haha I have plenty of interaction with folks here.  Funny how you think talking smack on this board makes you special. 

Seems like a few of you have nothing else going on in your lives other than this board.  Hope its on your resume at least lol.
