Jesus... Lee's a heart attack. LULZ!

GG Jays nice series W

[Landry_25]

That was a 2025 jays win if I do say so 

[Omar]

Series win haterz!!!!

Thats three consecutive series wins!  Can you smell wildcard?

 

[G-Snarls]

[Jonn]

Absolutely stole a game in Houston. Let that build the momentum.

[Rynodb1]

Just need to win every series the rest of the way and have Vlady remember how to hit. Should be easy.

Absolutely stole a win and it felt great. Bullpen was nails. 3.5 back 👀

I'm genuinely wondering if this team might actually be better without Vlad in the lineup right now. Not that his absence magically makes the rest some sort of murderer's row, but it must suck the air out of it for the rest of the lineup when they see him continually go 0-4 with non-competitive at bats. With him just benched/rested, then I feel like it makes the objective clearer for the others - it's up to them to step up. 

Don't get me wrong - we still need to get him going at some point to have any chance either this season or in the future. But I just feel like maybe there's almost some mental relief for everyone at not having to watch him suck so bad every time he goes up.

I’ve updated the jays playoff tracker thread.  We are back on pace for a playoff appearance.

we don't see Lee again, hopefully

[SeranthonySantander]

The guy who used to play Robin has a dog food company which seems to be doing well

For all the people that hated Hoffman so much, I hope they enjoy the sight of Lee, Dallas, Little, Estrada and whatever other worthless f*** minor leaguer we have that we will likely watch blow games in leverage situations for us.

Gimenez needs to play everyday.  he should never sit unless it's a scheduled day off.  Treating your starting SS like some utility player is wild.

Tiedeman pitched another scoreless inning in Buffalo today. Hopefully no more setbacks for him. Hecould really help this team.

That's great news.  Good to hear from you spats. Hope all is well.

Looks like Ricky T was sitting 96-98 MPH with the 4-seam. Nice

If he manages to avoid the injury bug the rest of the way out it feels like we might actually see him at the big league level relatively soon. Another guy down in Buffalo that might earn himself a look is Daz Cameron who has mashed to the tune of a 189 wRC+.

Thanks Brownie Hanging in there. Unfortunately my visits to Dunedin are over. Will miss watching the prospects in A ball. At least I can still get to games in Buffalo. Hope all is well with you also.

I'm sorry to hear that spats.  Your reports from Dunedin were always valued and appreciated.  I think it's safe to say we all looked forward to them.  Be well and don't hesitate to let us know what you see in those Buffalo games!
