5 runs on 3 hits... and Keller already near 60 pitches after 2 innings. Could be a very good night for the sticks. Jays record when scoring 5 or more runs? 52-3 if my count is right. -
HBP - SB - 2 run dinger. Nice start to the game by Mr Springer.
-
bahahahaha - Attaboy George!
-
16 pitches.. 13 strikes. That's how you attack these limp dicks.
-
If anyone loves being staked to a 3-run lead before he even takes the mound, it would be Scherzer.
-
And an easily catchable ball where you have to advance to 3rd when it's caught. The only baserunning blunder on that play was Kirk.
-
c'mon ernie, make them pay for that error ....
-
I mean... a half competent OF makes that catch about 95% of the time he was headed back to tag. Reynolds whiffed bigtime.
-
Attaboy Lukes, pick em up!
-
lol, that was both fortunate and unfortunate
-
Springer drilled as the first batter of the game... promptyl steals 2B. Attaboy Georgie. 2 wAlks and the bases are juiced with none out for Kirk - this could get interesting right away!

Vladimir Guerrero Jr's hamstring MRI revealed "just inflammation". That's best case scenario for manager John Schneider and his Toronto Blue Jays. This according to Blue Jays beat writer Mitch Bannon of The Athletic. Likely unavailable tonight but considered day-to-day

Having been an avid collector for close to 30 years, I can tell ya there's really nothing like ripping packs - even if you don't hit on anything big. It's nostalgia for sure from when I was a kid and wanting to get as many of my favorite players as I could, back when cards were dirt cheap and every card set from Score to ProSet, O-Pee-Chee, Topps, Panini (though they were more into sticker books back then), and Upper Deck could be filled easily with minimal money spent. I remember the first year UD made cards for McDonalds and the first holographic cards with Wayne Gretzky. The first real insert subset from Upper Deck (Brett Hull - including on card signed autograph super rare cards) and the Eric Lindros subset you could only get from Score by buying a set straight from the factory. Good times.

The Pirates released veteran reliever Ryan Borucki, according to the MLB.com transaction log. That was the expected outcome after Pittsburgh designated the southpaw for assignment on Friday. Borucki has more than five years of service time and had the right to refuse a minor league assignment, making the release a formality.

Major league baseball announced that Mariners outfielder Víctor Robles has received a 10-game suspension and an undisclosed fine from the league. The suspension will begin as soon as Robles is reinstated from the injured list, though Robles has filed an appeal and the suspension is being held in abeyance until the appeals process is complete. Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reported these details prior to the official announcement. Divish notes that the M’s would have to play a man short during the suspension.

As entertaining as it would be to drill the idiot in the ribs... just win the game and forget about it. Wins are far more important to the jays right now that worrying about mental midgets and their batflips. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see him wear one for being a clown, but this isn't the time.
-
I know Scherzer would want to do it, but him getting suspended would suck.
-
He has the 5th lowest consistency score over the same period. But, consistency in ump scores doesnt vary a whole lot From the worst to the best the range is only 92.16 to 93.7 in the 2015-2019 years of all umps with more than 100 games behind the plate. Accuracy though, varied from 90.2 to 93.8

Apparently Pham accused Barger of being known steroids in some post on X last night. He was responding to a post of someone with Barger as their picture, and said something along the lines of "the guy in your picture is on steroids loser" Is he a bit unhinged?

Yeah, some very uncharacteristic errors on throws today. Just one of those days that happen over the course of 162. -

I looked at the replay after that big stretch and he jumped up and left the field just fine. So...if he tweaked it prior to the play or on that play... it appears very precautionary -
It definitely says something positive overall about the umpires that the worst umpire today from a pure accuracy standpoint is better than nearly all of them from 10 years ago.
-
he's never been very good... but . 2nd worst accuracy in all of MLB from umps with more than 20 games behind the plate this season. Expand that to the last 5+ seasons (2020 to today) and ... 2nd worst accuracy of all umps over 100 games behind the plate at 92.43%. The only worse ump from 2020 to today is Rob Drake at 92.33%. One thing that must be said though.... the worst umpires of the last 5 years are still better than the worst umpires of 2015-2019. 2015-2019 of all umpires with more than 100 games behind the plate.... 54 umpires had accuracy lower than 92.33%. In fact... the worst was still Rob Drake at 90.2%. Even looking at Angel Hernandez alone... 2015 his accuracy was 89.9%. 2024? 93.2%.

Time zones will play into it as well. You wouldn't want a division where half of the teams are in different time zone than the others.
