  1. Lineup for tonight: RF Springer SS Bichette 1B Vlad LF Varsho 3B Chapman DH Belt CA Kirk 2B Biggio CF Kiermaier
  2. A 6-4 road trip with the pitching aside from Gausman being as bad as it was seems like a damn miracle.
  3. Zulueta's first start this season: 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 6 K, 46 pit
  4. Yeah he has 6 years left including this season. Well, 4 years left with 2 player options after that but I don't think there's any amount of inflation that would make him turn down 2/48 in 2027. That's just a horrific contract now considering how bad he was in 2022 and how nothing seems to have changed so far this season. They'll obviously keep throwing him out there hoping he can be fixed, but I wonder how long a team with World Series aspirations playing in the AL East will keep going to him if he can't right himself. Last season he was at least half way decent in the home games so if that trend continues then we can at least look forward to that when he starts.
  5. Swanson has pitched a lot so far, and Garcia has pitched 2 games in a row. Probably should have went with Bass in that spot instead of Cimber, but for some reason Schneider thinks Cimber and Mayza are high leverage guys. Cimber's been very solid since coming to the Jays but I'm not putting a guy throwing mid 80s out there against Trout with runners on base.
  6. A groundball to SS turning into a triple doesn't happen very often. At least Bo looks like a MVP candidate with the bat.
  7. I like Stroman as well. I was actually hoping the Jays extended him a few years back. Since he came into the league he's been a top 20 SP in baseball based on WAR, and that's with missing nearly all of 2015 with an injury (which he came back from early and helped in the playoffs) and sitting out 2020. He's had a really good career.
  8. I'm sticking with my prediction that Vlad is extended at some point, but it might be something like Devers where it happens closer to his free agency. The hope of a team friendly deal has long gone. He's too close to free agency now to settle for anything less than what he perceives he's worth. If nothing else, the front office has shown that they don't mind paying FA dollars to players, so I'm sure they won't mind overpaying Vlad when the time comes as long as he's performing closer to 2021 levels.
  9. Good start by Bassitt all things considered. Angels pen doesn’t seem all that good so there’s still a chance.
  10. Man, I’ll take 5 IP/3 ER after the Trout HR in the 1st and after his start against the Cardinals.
  11. Yeah, he's not throwing the Tanner Roark special this time like he did last time. Throwing 92-93 again. Results should be better, hopefully.
  12. Damn, now it will take like 3 hits to get Kirk to score from 1st.
  13. Looked better after the Trout HR. Struck out Ohtani and had to get an additional out due to Bo. Hopefully he settles down from here.
  14. Holy s*** that was crushed.
  15. Richards having no options and being as middling as he is makes the decision to keep him pretty questionable. Even the Rays couldn't turn him into a good reliever.
  16. Chapman is a Boras guy. An extension was never going to happen unless the Jays offered him a massive FA overpay contract before this season, which they weren't going to do. Just have to hope he has a 2018-19 type of season (so far so good), the team has a successful playoff run, and then take the comp pick.
  17. Belt blown away by 89 mph heat.
  18. Sandy reminds me a lot of Halladay, right down to wasting his prime on a team that will never win with him.
  19. Manoah and Gausman in the next 2. We better be leaving KC above .500.
  20. Montoyo would have had tears in his eyes in the dugout if he were managing right now.
  21. Aside from Schneider getting turned on whenever he can use as many relievers as possible, why take out Kikuchi at 69 pitches? I hope he at least starts the 6th inning.
  22. At the rate Atkins is signing young players to extensions, I don't think we have to worry about how any young player currently on the team will look at age 30. They'll be gone way before then.
  23. Thankfully Berrios only has 6/116 left on his deal.
  24. There is nothing wrong with Kikuchi's stuff/velocity so there's at least a chance of him bouncing back if he made some adjustments. Same with Berrios. It's Bassitt that scares the s*** out of me. I know it's one start, but call it Roark PTSD when you see an old SP who didn't throw that hard to begin with suddenly lose miles on his pitches.
  25. Bassitt is also a year older than Roark was when the Jays signed him. Pitchers get old and decline too, and that was the biggest risk with Bassitt. Too early to say one way or another, but if dude is throwing 89-91 moving forward, then it's going to get really ugly.
