Burr and Swanson both with much better 2nd outings at Buffalo Swanson 1.2 IP, no runs,hits or walks allowed with 1K Burr, 1.1 IP, no runs, no hits 1 walk 2 Ks

I havent seen enough games with him back to judge, but has he had much cause to air out any throws yet?

Yesavage, Stanifer and Stephen all promoted to Vancouver.

Very much so. But if anyone is looking for some kinda optimism on Tony Taters... as of May 15th last season he only had 7 HR, 2 more than he has now. so... maybe soon?

Hmmm, not to my liking. Kinda plain and dull with no real creativity behind it.

Why would anyone put a cherry on a s*** sundae? That seems wrong on multiple levels

Swanson got his tit's lit... 0.1 IP, 3 hits, 1 walk, 1 K. ERA at a tidy 108. 19 pitches, 10 strikes. Burr was better, but that's a low bar. 1 IP, 1 K and gave up 2 hits including a 2 run HR. ERA much better at 18. 14 pitches, 10 strikes. Help is on the way boys!

boston lost tonight too, so thats good.

Some injury updates: Scherzer felt some back tightness in his last throwing session to hitters in Anaheim so his next session will be delayed. Gimenez started baseball activities yesterday and is starting to ramp up Swanson and Burr both scheduled to pitch for Buffalo tonight.

Great timing for a Varsho bobblehead day too, the day after he has the game of his life. Sucks the Jays couldn't win it with that performance

This aged well

It's Varsho's world tonight, we're just living in it

I think the Historic Committee has to put them on the ballot first or something, there's so many bloody committees at the HoF it's hard to know which one goes first

Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson have been removed from the permanently ineligible list by MLB. Basically, Manfred announced that anyone who was on the permanently ineligible list who has since passed away, gets removed from the list. They will now eligible for the Hall of Fame if the various committees deem them worthy.

Stronger than Rolen ya think? That dude had a f***in hose... and always centre of the chest. And then there's was that Chapman guy... he's still topping the 3b arm charts in MLB this year

Side note, the Jays have 2 of the top 5 relievers in mlb in terms of K per 9 right now in Hoffman and Little. Definitely did not have that on my bingo card. As it stands now they have 3 top shelf guys in Jimi, Hoffman and Little. Fluharty is making a solid case too right now but his xfip is still a bit of a concern. Green is a bit stinky, Yariel had a rough start to the season but is looking much better recently. Swanson coming back and looking like his old self would be bloody amazing, Sandlin too.

mlb.com updated their top 100 Nimmala a big mover up 19 spots to 59 Yesavage the only other Jay at 71. Nothing noteworthy in their writeup on Nimmala other than the obvious "Nimmala has continued his momentum after a second-half turnaround last summer and has cut down on the strikeouts while maintaining his power production with High-A Vancouver."

i would also agree with that statement. Tucker will be available via FA this upcoming offseason, I think there's a real chance he signs in Toronto with the money they have coming off the books. Plus, someone is gonna have to replace Springer's bat after 2026 and Springer's defense is noticeably declining now, though I think having Straw on the books really helps mitigate that problem to a point. Tucker is the perfect guy to do that. I don't see Bo staying here as of today, but I reserve the right to change that opinion IF he returns to the Bo we saw prior to 2024. Heck, even 2025 Bo is a decent player, but without legit defensive prowess, his stick has to get that 20+ HR power back to be worth keeping IMO and really the power is all that's missing from his pre-2024 hitting metrics. I think Barger might turn out to be a decent contributor, but I'm not even close to ready to call him a core piece yet. As it stands, the only guys who have guaranteed contracts past 2027 are Vlad, Gimenez, Kirk, Yariel and Santander. Berrios could be unless he triggers his opt-out after 2026. Straw could be if his team options are picked up. Everyone else... could be FA, non-tendered, any number of things. I'd love to see Tucker added to that core group.

Good series. SP was good, offense hit some dingers, RP was lockdown. Defense was great. So this is how it feels to click on all cylinders for a few games...

I swear this is the only fan base that complains about the managers pitching moves when the opposition has 1 run on 3 hits over 7 innings.

12 hits... 9 runs. THATS HOW YOU DO BASEBALL DONNIE

This is the game and series that is going to give us all irrational hope for the rest of the season... Imagine a top 5 of Bo actually hitting, Vlad murdering baseballs, Santander coming back and hitting taters, followed by a performing Barger and Springer. Boner inducing.

Hehe more fun with numbers... one ball gets hit at 107.2 EV and 21 degrees... goes 363 for a HR next ball gets hit at 105.4 EV and 21 degrees, goes 8 FEET FURTHER... for a double.

NICE BARGER BOMB!

his average launch angle today is 28 degrees, which would be awesome! its just that to get that average its ... -16, 8, 51 and 70. Fun with numbers!
