Imagine if Jeff threw strikes all the time? He should try doing that and also the no homers thing is good too good job Jeff now sit down

That's a huge inning for this game and his confidence A lesser reliever might give up a big homer to the top of their lineup and make this a game again

Jeff!

Jeff dealing...

He's throwing strikes...

Let's see what happens. Someone should be hot though lol

The thing with Hoffman is he has to pitch every so often or else he's horrible And he hasn't been used a lot So you have to roll him out there I think

One K and five HR is nuts

Barger having an impact game even after that horrible PA with the bases loaded

Maybe they weren't really. Pitches weren't close

Platinum glove!

Raleigh didn't really frame those well

New lineup PLEASE

Bo.

Chat this lineup is horrible and the Jays deserve to lose now

Yes Right on Right sinkers inside lead to "good misses" because they run in on the hands. R on R sinkers away more often result in a bad miss, running into the zone and thus into the barrel. That's all.

Lefties nuke him! Almost makes me want to do some weird stuff with the lineup

They didn't need to use most of the A relievers last night so Schneider has tons of options for navigating this game. He can go from Max to a bullpen game finish. He can use Bassitt and Lauer. Fisher and Flu only threw 12 and 15 pitches so they are available along with Hoffman, Little, Varland, Dominguez. One annoying thing about the Mariners is that Raleigh and Polanco are kind of split-proof. It makes the top 4 of their lineup harder to navigate. No Ben Rice or Trent Grisham in there to pwn with a loogy or changeups

I am prepared for the fans to be angry, lol If he gets through the order once, or 3 IP clean, I would support the hook but it would definitely enrage the fanbase

Scherzer vs Castillo This game could be anything. We could see Max Scherzer throw a legacy game and leave it all on the field. We could see the Blue Jays flummoxed by the veteran Castillo, with lots of weak contact. Or we could see one or both SP get destroyed because neither is a reliable shut down SP anymore and both of these offenses can slug and jump pitchers. Gausman vs Woo Have to feel okay about this matchup since Woo could be rusty and Gausman has been pretty solid all playoffs and was so good to end the regular season. Woo could dominate but how many pitches is he good for? Yesavage vs. Miller/Gilbert - Game 6 This possible game on Sunday in Toronto is interesting. Bounce-back attempt for Yesavage, with extra rest, hopefully with a homeplate ump who can call the strikezone properly and let the f***ing catcher throw balls back. Did Bryce Miller earn himself this start? Logan Gilbert would be the clear favourite based on all available information other than Miller's stellar game 1. I think as a Jays fan I would prefer to see Miller get the ball. Bieber vs. Kirby - Game 7 Would be fun! How about we just win in 6 though? Kirby would be on regular rest.

saw this on Facebook Vladdy Jr. has a 41 year old criminal doppleganger in Canada

C - by FRV (Statcast) Kirk +22 Dingler +12 Narvaez +12 1B France +10 OAA +9 DRS Santana +8 OAA +12 DRS Vlad -2 OAA but +8 DRS 1B defense is weird, I would not be surprised to see Vlad get this because of star/name value also volume played and offense which is sometimes a tiebreaker lol 2B Gimenez +10 OAA +9 DRS Semien +7 OAA +5 DRS Rengifo +4 OAA +5 DRS Gimenez should win but does the lost playing time hurt him? 3B Garcia +19 OAA and +13 DRS in 1144 innings Clement +6 OAA +11 DRS in just 603 innings Ramirez +6 OAA Maikel Garcia should win in a landslide but if Ernie had been a full time 3B the numbers may be close Util Ernie +13 OAA +21 DRS Schneeman +7 OAA +DRS Dubon +19 OAA +14 DRS Dubon only had 398 PA, Schneeman 422. Ernie with 588 captures the spirit of "Utility Player" more since the other two are close to bench status.

I do think it's weird they are going Max over Bassitt Makes me wonder if it's a secret "bullpen" game and we will see a lot of arms used Maybe tell Max to air it out for three innings

He has had some of the best PAs recently and it makes more sense than Barger.

Vlad has a good chance as well. Jays could get 3 GG
