  1. Is there a way to IL Bruihl and put Bassitt on the roster by tonight? I actually liked the idea of an opener in Game 4 but the Yankees made me hate it after 3 games. If the Jays bullpen actually wins Game 4 then it’s destiny because man does this matchup look one sided. Lauer needs to throw up some zeros. I think it’s going to Game 5 unfortunately. Hope I’m wrong.
  2. I think the sad part here is that both errors (IKF's and Barger's) could have been avoided if they just started Straw in the OF and DS at 2B. I mean, I guess DS could have made that error too but at least the Barger error would have been avoided. Either Clement catches it or Straw catches it. Ultimately it came down to Varland giving up 2 bombs. Errors happen, but the pitching couldn't cover for it.
  3. Yeah I hated starting IKF, but pinch hitting for him in the 3rd inning when the team was leading by 5 when the only reason you started him in the first place was to play defense (which you need when you're leading) was highly questionable. Might as well have started Barger in the first place. I think that error in the 1st inning shook JS and caused him to make that move.
  4. Bullpen game tomorrow. Worst case scenario playing out.
  5. It's 10 pm and it's the 4th inning. Big FU to Fox and MLB for starting this game at 8 pm EST.
  6. Pulled Bieber at the right time IMO. Now the Jays have to win this game because they can't afford 2 bullpen games in a row.
  7. If IKF starts another game, then fire JS immediately,
  8. IKF’s 0-4 with nothing but weak contact would be more palatable if he could actually play defense.
  9. Teams that don't have retractable roofs on their stadiums will forever annoy me, I don't care what their reasoning is.
  10. That's what I'm going with as well. IKF about to hit a homer at Yankee Stadium in front of a fanbase that didn't like him when he was there.
  11. Yeah if they didn't want to start Barger, then DS playing 2B made more sense with Lukes or Straw in the OF. In the last 3 seasons, IKF has a 65 wRC+ against LHP. The Jays being an analytical team but yet making a decision that is clearly "dude bats righty, so put him in there" is ridiculous. Unless they think the defensive upgrade is worth more than the noodle bat, which they might. Then again, Ned Yost started Alcidis Escobar and batted him lead off when they won the title, so maybe this is JS trying to appease the Baseball Gods.
  12. Of course IKF is starting. He literally can't hit LHP. Have to hope the rest of the offense compensates like last time.
  13. As long as IKF isn't starting, I think I'm fine with any lineup they put out there. JS will pinch hit anyway if necessary. Just keep IKF's ass on the bench until/unless defense is needed later.
  14. After seeing Lauer and Nance get nuked last game, I’m not sure I want a bullpen game on the road so close this one out tonight.
  15. What a game. Vlad with a signature home run moment and the offense clicking on all cylinders. They have been a great home team all season and more average on the road, so the series isn't over yet, but being up 2-0 gives them some wiggle room. Go for the kill on Tuesday and avoid the bullpen game in Game 4.
  16. Thankfully they have Fisher, Nance, Fluharty, and Yariel that could all use an inning, so they don’t have to punt any further (Bruihl sucks).
  17. IKF is 4-8 lifetime against Fried. Maybe that was the rationale. Otherwise it's not what I would have done. IKF should never be starting a playoff game. Defensive sub? Fine. Beyond that, no.
  18. Hoffman throwing 97 is a good sign.
  19. Padding the run differential while Michael Kay wipes tears from his eyes on the YES post game.
  20. This is the right move. Game 3 will either be trying to save the season (down 0-2), a swing game (tied 1-1), or wanting to rip their hearts out (up 2-0). I want Bieber in that spot on the road, with the ability to use Yesavage on regular rest in Game 5 out of the bullpen if necessary.
  21. Yeah surprised at least one of them didn't make it on the roster. Both of them off of it is a great sign as it means the Jays are prioritizing winning over feelings. Not always easy to tell big league vetrins that they are not needed, and the Jays had to tell $55M worth of them to sit at home (Bassitt/Max/Berrios), including a future HOF. Good sign though. Put the best team on the field. Bullpen + Lauer is likely better as the Game 4 starter.
