Also Yariel needs to be DFA’d again. He’s so bad.

I think as soon as one of Nance or Mantiply is ready to return Yariel will immediately be DFA'd at that point.

The race to 80 wins for the 3rd wild card is heating up for sure.  I'm taking a nap will be glued to the Rangers/Angels game tonight.  10:00.  Angels need to do us another favor.

No chance they catch the Rays.  Still it will be hilarious to tune into the 80-82 Jays vs 110-52 Rays ALCS.  Has there ever been a playoff series where the teams were separated by 30 games? 

Well this isn’t an apology but it is definitely back tracking on your “the math is dire” stance of a week ago.

Give it another month and I suspect you’ll be toning down all this Rays fanboying too.

Hoffman has decided to throw nothing but splitters snd sliders now. 

97 Fastball is now his change of pace

His fastball is easily his worst pitch so I fully support this move.

Dont forget about Yimi. He's not that far off either

I thought/assumed his slider was his worst pitch, he needs a sweeper

Macko is our Flu this season

Miles*** is our Fischer this season

Corbin is our Lauer this season

I think Miles is closer to Lauer as a long man type.

I think you'd be better served to use .wOBA and xwOBA in your search vs .BA alone to outline the results.

[Spanky__99]

Wooooooo... Blue Jays are back B*tches... What a great game this team pulled off today. Onward and upward baby!!!

[Omar]

By the end of June this team should be transformed for the better notwithstanding the current run. Without the slate of injuries that plagued this team in April we might not have seen the emergence of Valenzuela or Pinango.  Think about it.  This silver lining could determine the fate of the season.

Yo, people talking s*** about Varsho and Springer hell even Oka now, during an obvious slump, it's ridiculous, lmao.

Your posts are fresh...

Enjoy '26 Believers!

Life is so much better in the playoffs.  I would be embarrassed being a fan of a team not in the playoff spots.

Dan didn't seem excited enough for a homer but yea camera guy was on shenanigans there. 

I thought it was gone off the bat sitting 3rd base side in the 2nd level, then I looked at the OF'er as all people should do. lol... knew it wasn't enough, just missed it.

Well well well, would you look at that…we just hammered Paul Skenes and have now won 4 in a row.

Remember when all the Debbie Downers were losing their minds and saying the season was over?

But Spanky and I were preaching to have some patience?

And then I kept posting this gif?

 
 

Did you Debbies (you know who you are) want to apologize now? Or do you want to wait a couple more weeks? I’m fine either way.

They're flabbergasted.

This one is for all of the HATERS and LOSERS of the board (of which there are many) who can get bent with all that doomer BS lmao

same goes for Aaron Boone and the Yankees

Prediction: 

1. Skenes dominates and this isn't close 

Or 

2. Jays scrape together some runs and Pittsburgh fails with RISP all day. Miracle victory.

Barger playing third and Okamoto to the bench seems logical.

Okamoto strikes out almost every bat now.

 

6 hours ago, Jays24 said:

And yet with all that, hes still been the Jays most impactful hitter this season because of his slugging lol.

 

6 hours ago, Bob_Gratton said:

Okamoto will probably won't return next year, especially if his family still in Japan, so I won't be surprised if he ask for terminate his contract to return in Japan.

 

6 hours ago, Bob_Gratton said:

I am no sold on Barger to be a regular 3B or RF, He's average in defensive, and he lack regularity in offense. If Jays still dream win a WR, will need add very good players to play at 3B and RF.

The Jays have been so fortunate to be pulling these random starters out of nowhere with all the injuries.

Based on the numbers, no one on the team deserves a 3-0 green light unless the situation calls for it.  That privilege should be earned through your performance lol.

Now that Sanchez seems to be hiting and Pinango is probably here to stay, Lukes is probably on the bubble when he returns unless they decide to not carry a backup middle infielder.
