The Jays will be saving over $2M in salary for the reminder of the season on Biggio's contract, I know they were extremely close on the 1st Threshold of the luxury tax, is it possible this may bring them under the luxury tax now?
This is a horrible lineup. We have an off day tomorrow why not put our best out there? Would be a nice boost the get back to .500 before we go back home
Big win! We're officially out of the AL East basement and half game back of the Red Sox. Let's win tomorrow and get back to .500. One series at a time, we are still very much in it. Lots of season left. Let's keep it rolling!
What a gem by Gausman! Much needed as well considering tomorrow will likely be a bullpen game. Let's win this series tomorrow, we have a tough stretch upcoming. If we can keep our heads above water this month and somehow finish above .500 we have some hope. 85 wins could be enough to snag a WC spot. Definitely not out of reach.
Sad to see him go! Though he never lived up to expectations, he was a good bench piece who could play almost anywhere in the field. He had a great eye at the plate, almost too good. He showed flashes of brilliance but could never find the consistency. Wish him the best and hope he finds a good fit with another club.
Here is a hot take. I think Robo umps will be bad for baseball. Because any pitch that even touches the zone even by a hair will now be called a strike it will give pitchers a greater advantage. I think it will benefit pitchers more then it does hitters. Anyone know the stats if currently more strikes are called balls or is it vise versa?
Time to blow this team up, I'm done! Fire Schneider, get rid of all the dead weight. Get rid of Voglebach, Turner, Springer, Biggio, call up some prospects. Need to start a rebuild, this team is cooked.
This 10 game stretch to end the month of May is gonna be huge! We need to go 8-2 I believe that have any hope of getting back into the playoff picture and have any hope of making the post season. If we're not back to at least .500 by the end of May we need to seriously look at unloading some of our assets and starting a rebuild. Anything less then 3 series wins against the White Sox and Tigers won't do.
Jansen gets screwed. Has to swing at a ball because it's in the exact same spot as the other ball ump called a strike. We need electronic strike zone yesterday
If we can take 1 of the next 2 games and win this series in Baltimore this will be huge! Our next 16 games are against TB, CWS, DET and PITT. All bad to mediocre teams. This is a stretch where we have the opportunity to go on a run. 12-4 or 11-5 is very doable to get us right back in the playoff picture.
People are literally jumping off a Cliff here. We are 4 games below .500 at the beginning of May. If we are still below .500 into June with 6 games vs the White Sox and 3 vs Tampa then we can seriously start talking about going into full rebuild. On the bright side, we could be the Astros right now.
Nice to see Manoah getting some swing and miss, bit his Control is still all over the place, no consistency in his release point. 70 pitches through 3 innings. He'll be lucky to get through the 4th at this pace.
You know our offense is bad when Patrick f***in Corbin throws a quality start against us. Corbin is absolute trash, we should of lit this guy up. Time to start blowing this team up.
May will be a very telling month. We have a ton of winnable games against lower tired opponents. If we aren't above .500 by the end of the Month I think it's time to go to full on rebuild mode.
