They are holding these rulings to like, a criminal trial burden of proof "We need proof beyond all reasonable doubt that the call should be overturned. If a single angle of video, for a single frame, is not completely definitive as to the result of the play, the call on the field should stand."

nice swing by vlad hit it 26 degrees in the air and good things happen!

It's not even really the rule, it's the application of the rule. The biased video control room people are just so f***ing strict with their own interpretation of "definitive" evidence. It was clear on video that Clement just touched the plate before he was tagged. It was definitive. The people in the video control room in New York want something more than basic video proof. They want proof from every conceivable angle + a sworn affidavit from home plate that it was touched first.

Can Easton Lucas stick?

Steve Pearce is exactly what the Jays need. That's a World Series move. Pham would also be splendid. I wonder if there is a good trade target if we look at RHB who aren't getting a lot of PA. Someone from the fringes of another roster. Chas McCormick Austin Slater Bryan De La Cruz Someone like that

Speaking of Vlad, we are approaching "here we go again" territory for him in April. He is just having good plate appearances at all. At least he's not running a 60% GB rate thought.

I see what you're saying about Rainer. Man, that should be a very easy thing to fix...

Any news articles or tweets about the Jays remaining IFA budget (Sasaki strikeout money...) for the current period and who they might be able to spend it on?

another must win game today.

Wagner and Roden are such a breath of fresh air. It's probably an overreaction but it really feels like the team's current and mid-term outlook is so much better with them in the fold. Just solid hitters who at worst should be strong side platoon assets. I fear that Davis Schneider's time is almost up. Few more weeks in his current role without some bombs and they should pull the plug. He just doesn't look like an MLB player anymore. Not exactly a direct replacement in AAA though. If only Barger was a RHB. They could go with Stefanic, who is a completely different kind of player and a contact guy / slap hitter. There is still JDM in free agency but I would guess he wants a bigger role than small side platoon / pinch hitter. Jonatan Clase could take his spot but they probably don't want to bring Clase up to have him barely play. They could try out Rainer Nunez or Riley Tirotta. I don't see any other remaining RHB free agents who are worth bringing in.

Fluharty just missed on that pitch to Abrams. Probably gets him out of it's not down the middle. Y'all have no idea. Flu is nasty and him and B Little will be a pair of insane lefties for the next several years. Toronto is stacked and the playoffs will be ez to cake

Lmao

must win game tonight.

Otto Lopez is the one that got away isn't he

Depth Charts ROS Vlad 4.4 fWAR Gimenez 4.3 fWAR Bichette 3.8 fWAR Kirk 3.8 fWAR Dude is literally in the same class of player as Kirk, who extended for $58M, Gimenez, who cost nothing but Spooner Horvats, and Bo Bichette who the Blue Jays apparently have no interest in extending at any cost.

Oh he can definitely go 6 innings. It just might be the ugliest 6 innings of his life.

Makes sense.

Dunno what to make of this.

Gimenez MVP SZN And Nicky Sandlin will be the glue guy for the entire bullpen. 75 innings incoming

Devers 0-3 with 3 Ks today. This is insane.

no it was the torpedos! they got torpedo'd by cheaters!

Like a tortoise, slowly but surely, I think Kenley Jansen has crossed the Hall of Fame line in the sand. He already comps well to Wagner. He could end up with 500 saves if he plays in 2026 and stays healthy. # Name Team W L SV G GS IP K/9 BB/9 HR/9 BABIP LOB% GB% HR/FB vFA (pi) ERA xERA FIP xFIP WAR 1 Trevor Hoffman 3 Tms 61 75 601 1034 0 1089.1 9.36 2.54 0.83 .263 76.7% 34.2% 6.4% 86.0 2.87 3.08 3.79 25.9 2 Kenley Jansen 4 Tms 49 36 449 873 0 870.1 12.65 2.74 0.83 .266 79.7% 32.8% 8.9% 93.2 2.56 2.54 2.97 24.8 3 Billy Wagner 5 Tms 47 40 422 853 0 903.0 11.92 2.99 0.82 .261 82.0% 42.4% 9.6% 95.9 2.31 2.73 2.76 24.0

Yankee / Red Sox tactics Just make your own top 100 prospects with the old Hype Machine

lmao hahahahaha lmao

"Multiple scouts I spoke with have everyday grades on Roden based on their looks this spring." oh boy Ross pulled a 50 FV top 100 spect out of his ass
