Phillies (Sanchez) vs Blue Jays (Corbin): 6/8/26, 7:07pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

Tough pitching matchup for the Jays tonight. Sanchez is unbelievable, will Corbin be able to keep up?

	WED	THU	FRI	SAT	SUN	TOT
Yariel Rodríguez	22	0	27	0	0	49
Tyler Rogers	0	12	0	10	17	39
Mason Fluharty	0	0	0	21	0	21
Louis Varland	0	17	0	8	17	42
Jeff Hoffman	0	9	0	13	0	22
Connor Seabold	0	0	26	0	10	36
Braydon Fisher	0	9	0	18	0	27
Adam Macko	17	0	30	0	18	65

If we think Varland is a Cinderella story, see Sanchez' last 50 innings. This should be... fun.

[Orgfiller]

This team eats aces for breakfast. Should be an easy 5-3 win.

[Terminator]

I think this is what the Jays are going to do:

• Corbin vs. Sanchez
• Cease vs. Wheeler
• Scherzer vs. Luzardo

Patrick Corbin, the ace slayer

It's wild how this has continued to be the case this season despite the relative offensive struggles.

• Chris Sale: 10 H, 3 ER in 5.2 IP
• Shane Baz: 5 runs

[Jonn]

I am terrified when we face soft tossing lefties. Ace’s don’t even phase me

[Rynodb1]

I agree with everybody here. I almost look forward to facing tough pitching. These guys show up with the right approach for these games. 

[Omar]

 

Starting this week the band gets back together. Watch out AL East. 

[Jays24]

Poor Yariel.  That contract was brutal but luckily Rogers is swinging their big dick for now lol.  

[DownSouthBlueJay]

Valenzuela tearing the cover off the ball right now.

JS : He needs a day off.

[Terminator]

I think because Yariel was DFA'd before that he can now elect FA.

So we will be eating about 15 mil over 2.5 years on that one.

EDIT: This is fake news. He could elect FA but he'd also forfeit his salary. He's going to Buffalo.

[Laika]

sucks to see the Phillies and somehow miss Nola and Painter, who both suck.

Catchers have to take days off unfortunately.

He could DH because Springer is doing the opposite.

The return of Nance is honestly a sight for sore eyes in the middle of the bullpen. Whenever Varland and Rogers are unavailable every 3 days (since they pitch every game), we've been throwing out some serious scrubs to cover those innings. Nance isn't pushing for stealing the closer role but having a decent middle reliever back never hurts.

Hopefully we can add Yimi Garcia to the mix before long and our bullpen depth will be truly tremendous.

[Laika]

Some good news on a lot of injury front:

Kirk will play 3 games in Buff and could be back Friday. 
Yimi rehab in Buff in two days.
Bieber starts in Buff in Thursday and could be in MLB after that. 

[Laika]

So Cease and Scherzer are starting tomorrow and the next day.

Miles is a reliever now. Probably a 2+ inning RP behind Corbin or Scherzer?

Oof 

What a relief 

Yes. Scherzer will probably not go more than 4-5 innings this season ever

If he displays the kind of stuff he possessed after the forearm started barking at him he'll be lucky to get out of the first inning a good chunk of the time.

[Terminator]

It was reported that Bieber could be ready after one more start in AAA. Scherzer will be on a short leash.

[Terminator]

Cannot wait to abuse the IL Dodgers style

[Jonn]

At this point I hope they give Bieber as much time as he needs. Let him come back when he's ready to go full send. Atleast 90 pitches. I am not really excited about Max returning to the rotation at all considering how bad he looked. Like is he coming back and getting his strikeout and calling it out a career or. I would rather do the opener and Miles length.

Yeah hopefully Max is effective and they can give Bieber some more time. But he's also a FA entering the year so if we need to ride him a little bit I don't mind. Just need him to get through the season.

But ideally Max is good by the time Bieber comes back and everyone is healthy and we could go with a 6-man rotation for a little bit and play some IL games.

Hopefully not... But I also think it's fair to have a multi-inning RP backup ready and available every time he starts

[Jonn]

Oh god Schwarber is about to step in the box. How far is he taking Corbin deep? I am saying 440

You were only off by 440 feet. 

[neverbeenhere]

that should be an error, huh

[Abomination]

I don't think Harper touched 1st base when he rounded. I think that's why he went back.
