The Daulton Varsho window

Swayman is much better than whoever the Leafs goalie is this year though

Leafs played fine honestly Outshot them, hit some posts

I love platoons

The Biggio Clement IKF Schneider mob is just so good. Hard to f*** it up.

Daulton Varsho winning this one almost single handedly

Decent game 1

DV and IKF will combine for 8 WAR Vlad and Bo will combine for 2

Swinging a pool noodle Worse than Vlad at this point At least Vlad lucks into the odd homer and takes his walks

I dunno. Slamming your equipment when YOU whiff is fine but slamming two pieces of equipment at the ump's call is different. Maybe he said something too.

So Varsho is now everybody's favourite player right? Worst to first?

Apparently this is just pitchers Toronto's MiLB pitching is not good

Why would anyone even complain about the Jays pitching depth right now? The historically healthy SPs 1-4 are all still making starts, Y Rod looks legit, Francis does not look like a lost cause, they have a former Cy Young finalist in AAA as a depth option (lol)... Classic masterbutthurt Do not see how anyone could prefer the Yankees current depth chart. They have a reliever in their rotation presently with 9.00 bb/9, two 91mph poo slingers, and an expensive replacement level lost cause in Rodon. You basically need to know Gerrit Cole is healthy and absolutely love Will Warren to prefer their depth??? weird

Except he touches 97 And throws a modern cut/rise fastball that is very on trend I love watching him pitch. It's junk and power. Spin and speed changes. A bit of everything. Works fast. Seems like he has plus plus command...

I think that's the 3rd or 4th time that Vlad has had a ball go through his glove. Funny how it basically never happens to any other fielders...

Y Rod is like what Manoah should have been

Schneider smoked that too

lol those announcers

hahhaha AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH huhhhdfghughgggggggggggggggggggggg

yeah this is hilarious they score like 4 runs "must be cheating"

yeah duh

Josh Hader and Jose Abreu Two amazing FA signings Smells like a meddling owner to me

They have enough interesting hitters now in AAA that some of them NEED to get traded. RF - Springer through 2026 CF - Varsho through 2026 C - Kirk through 2026 SS - Bo through 2025 1B - Vlad through 2025 2B - ? LF - ? DH - ? 3B - ? BN - Biggio through 2025 BN - Schneider through 2029 BN - Clement through 2028 3B/BN - IKF through 2025 Of course the guys on this 2025 bench could slot into all those open starting positions but you get the point. There will not be a lot of opportunities for the Buffalo crew over the next two years unless there are some major injuries. And obviously the team will be actively trying to upgrade the depth chart and sign or trade for some impact bat(s) at some point. Horwitz - deserves a shot as a platoon 1B, at least Barger - deserves a shot as a platoon UTIL, at least Orelvis - will deserve a shot as a starting IF at some point Jimenez - will deserve a shot as a bench SS at some point Robertson - will deserve a shot as a platoon OF, at least Palmegiani - may deserve a shot as a stop-gap 3B or something at some point And then guys like Kasevich, Roden, Gabriel Martinez will need to move up the ladder too. I just don't see how all of these guys get a fair shake before 2026 so we may need to dump 2 or 3 of them. Maybe one big trade, ideally a Chapman or Donaldson style deal lol.

Wild results They are 6-14 despite roaring starts from Altuve, Alvarez, Pena, Diaz, and Tucker. Also, Blanco, Javier. Their depth SP have just been disastrous. Hunter Brown lost his fastball or something. JP France needs to move to France. The Spencer Spaghetti guy got hammered. A few of their good relievers have been rocked. Is it over? The pitching magic is gone? Probably.

I thought the decision to chance Swanson with the save was dumb but I guess it makes more sense if Green was not available. Didn't want to use Romano back to back immediately. Didn't want to use Garcia 3x in a row in April. Sigh. Optioning Pearson may have immediately cost them a game.
