you can tell your grand kids you saw son of hall of fame Vlad Guerrero play

My last game at Yankees stadium was watching Jays clinch the ALDS last year.  

While cheering, a guy walked by and said he's Vladdy's cousin, on his mother's side.

Not sure why they bother calling  Davis up just to bench him every time

Just DFA Springer. That old guy doesn't give the team anything.

he is still better than Vlad

[james jones]

And the Jays are hitting 1-for-9 with risp tonight. Weren't we like 1-13 yesterday? Please tell me why this team is so bad with risp.

Concussion protocol. The earliest he can comeback is tomorrow.

[james jones]

JS doesn't know Cameron exists lol. He couldn't be worse than Springer

2023: 103 wRC+, .147 ISO
2024: 94 wRC+, .150 ISO
2025: 166 wRC+, .251 ISO
2026: 99 wRC+, .152 ISO

The 2025 season for Springer was magical, but man, the seasons surrounding it have been so mid. 

[ComeTogether]

Keep the train going so he bats again this game

Wow his wRC+ looks terrible. I think they overpaid for Springer after seeing his stats with the Jays

At least he was giving us some value with his play in the field but now no glove and no bat - f'n useless

[hanton]

....can't pinch hit, can he even pinch run?

[hanton]

haha Sanchez - shut up

[ComeTogether]

Jesus finally does something 

Get him home 

[G-Snarls]

We demoralized the Rays and now they can't beat anybody

[hanton]

That's so rare, dropping the ball while on the rubber - lucky no runners on base

[ComeTogether]

Hits so far 8-4 Jays

so it's again about RISP

[ComeTogether]

Last call 

[ComeTogether]

Bateman due for a HR

[JaysFan99]

1-14 RISP. Gotta love it. No surprise Kirk got the only hit. 

[ComeTogether]

f***. 

Win tomorrow 

I will be on the third base side, 2 sections behind the Jays dugout.

If the Jays pick up Straw's option this winter, then baseball can lockout for an entire season for all I care. They need so much help offensively. Can't afford to keep running these types of bats out there. The 2025 magic no longer exists.

[Stangstag]

9 hits 1 run is vomit-worthy.

Classic BJs

[hanton]

Jesus Sanchez was a triple and a home run away from the cycle.

If the Jays are OK paying $8 million or whatever for a bench player with great OF defense and good speed, it doesn't bother me. Having players like that around sure doesn't seem to hold them back from spending big and/or chasing big name FA's

A 66 wRC+ is certainly terrible, but Straw does his job for the most part.

We wouldn't even notice his bat if Vlad and Springer weren't lugging around sub 100 wRC+ bats this season. They are the ones hurting this team the most, not Straw.

I get you, but any cost they can cut from the fringes of the roster means more they can add in other places of need. They don't have unlimited money and you can get someone of Straw's caliber for way less money. We already have one who is probably marginally better in Bateman. He does seem to be an outstanding glue guy and clubhouse presence so I'm sure that might factor into it a bit but he's still an easy cut for me.

Straw isn't hurting the club the "most" but his 65 wRC+ is absolutely part of the problem.
