    Great to get this first game. Just win one of the next 2 to win the season series/hold the tiebreaker.

    Dominguez's statcast page is pretty enticing. Looks like he added a splitter this season which has helped him get more whiff/chase. Could definitely see the Jays trading for him, assuming it's a reasonable deal.

    Would let Gausman try for 8 innings given the pitch count but I doubt Schneider will allow that with the top of the order up.

    Nicely done Bo.

    Man I know Clement has hit LHP well this season but he shouldn't be a lead off hitter.
  6. glory
    I like how Barger sits against lefties but Clement who has a 50 wRC+ against righties plays everyday.

    Counting on Manoah the rest of the way seems really unwise. Maybe he surprises us but his last season in the bigs with any sample size was objectively awful by every metric. He'd have to dominate these rehab assignments for me to feel even a little bit comfortable. The Jays should add a starter, but Lauer has been so good that getting anything short of an ace to bump him out of the rotation might not be that helpful. Unless the plan is to go with a 6 man rotation (similar to 2016 after acquiring Liriano), which given how much they prioritize extra rest for the geezers in the rotation might be what they have in mind. Not like they use that last guy in the pen spot (currently owned by Pina) often enough to worry about losing it. In that case they could add another mid rotation option and be fine. Who they would start in a hypothetical game 1 playoff game in that scenario is the bigger question.

    Jays own the tiebreaker so if they win 2 more games against the Yankees the rest of the season (they play 6 more times), then they win the season series. A Yankees sweep would tie the season series 5-5, so really just avoid that and the Jays would still be in a good spot. Obviously winning the series is the best outcome.

    Pirates have a cheap owner so $800k or whatever the min salary is now for an elite player with 4 years of control left doesn’t resemble a player that they’d want to move. Two years from now, possibly, but not now. They’ll probably looking to dump Hayes and Reynolds more than anything.

    I really hope the Jays add multiple relievers and cut bait on Green. He's already sunk cost. Just move on and let him give up dingers for another team down the stretch.

    I thought it was interesting that Schneider was playing Clase and others over Roden prior to Roden's most recent demotion. The club may have soured on him a bit. Wouldn't shock me at all if he's moved, especially with Schreck's emergence in AAA.

    Yeah adding a #4-5 starter is boring and won’t move the needle but if they strike out on bigger targets, then it’s still the type of move that the Jays could benefit from. Improving upside is very important but absent of that, increasing your odds of getting in is also a priority, and I don’t want to depend on Manoah or Estrada or whoever to start 5-10 games down the stretch if it comes to that. Maybe go #4-5 SP and elite reliever instead? Wouldn’t be the worse outcome, especially the way Schneider manages. In a playoff setting he’ll be sweating and twitching by the 3rd inning due to lack of a pitching change. I think a potential front of the rotation option is by all accounts available, it’s just a matter of if you want to trade a top prospect(s) for a SP with a 7 ERA. Alcantara to me is the target. Maybe he’s more of a 2026-27 move than 2025 but that’s the closest thing there is to a front end SP that is realistically available.

    The issue is the Jays are one Scherzer thumb explosion away from having a very messy rotation situation, especially if/when Lauer comes back down to earth. I want no part of counting on Manoah to help out (if he does, then it's gravy). So while I agree the Jays need to add someone better than their existing SP's, I think they may need to add a SP period at this point. The best one they can realistically get. I don't think Ryan will be traded, and Cabrera left his last start with elbow discomfort (plus he has no history of durability which Atkins generally likes), so to me it comes down to Sandy or Keller. If they just want a rental to eat up innings, then their options grow a bit. If the Jays go into the final two months hoping for Scherzer to stay healthy, Lauer to remain this good, and Manoah being good enough to fill in the cracks, then that's a massive ask, IMO. Could happen but not something I'd want to bank on.

    McAdoo was "transferred to the Development List" on 5/20 and reactivated on 5/27. Since 5/27, he has a 157 wRC+ in 153 PA (9 HR, .275 ISO, 6.5 BB%, 26.1 K%). We will see if he's still in the org 2 weeks from now, but he's definitely turned his season around.

    I'd rather the Rays go to a better baseball market, but at least common sense seems to be prevailing here as it looks like they will try to move the team to actual Tampa rather than trying to build a new stadium in the same location that no one wants to travel to now.

    If the Jays are adding a 3B then it should be Suarez. Would be a nightmare for John Schneider as he'd have no place to start Clement against RHP when everyone is healthy, but home runs win in the post season, and Santander may or may not be back and/or good again this season. If you run out a lineup with Springer-Barger-Vlad-Suarez-Kirk-Bo-Varsho-Tony (or Lukes if Tony is hurt) in whatever order you want, then that's pretty deep 1 through 8, with Gimenez/Clement as a strong platoon at 2B. Otherwise I think the team is fine with Barger at 3B now that we know he can play there reasonably well.
  19. glory
    Yeah trading Berrios is a very reasonable opinion, it’s just not realistic given where the Jays are right now. They need him to contend in 2025, even if it’s just to get into the post season. He’s also been very durable and aside from 2022 has been able to maintain good performance despite underlying decline. How long he can keep that up is the question, so selling before he implodes as mentioned it a very reasonable idea, but probably no shot of that happening. Certainly not during the season.

    Wow didn’t realize JS was ejected. That doesn’t happen often.

    The Jays since the Yankees series will be 6-3 after today (assuming they lose here), and they easily could have lost a couple more against the Angels. With the lineups they've been running out due to the injuries combined with Vlad looking more likely to reach 3000 hits before he reaches 200 home runs, they've probably overshot what they should be doing by a mile. Sucks to lose 3 of 4 heading into the break against s***** teams, but time for this team to get healthy and add reinforcements. I don't really understanding bringing Bassitt in to pitch one inning, but Schneider won't be able to make pitching changes for 4 days after today so gotta get them in while he can.
  22. glory
    Every ball the A’s are hitting has an exit velo of 100-105. Berrios is not going to last long today from the looks of it.
  23. glory
    Luck in this case more so relates to their record in 1 run games, and things like that. The talent performing is more talent + what looks like a very tangible difference with coaching (Popkins). We will see how sustainable it is beyond this season.
  24. glory
    I'm not a big Atkins supporter, nor did I think the Jays would be as good as they've been this season, but the 2025 team more closely resembles 2021-23 than it does 2024 to this point, so the outlier in the last 5 years is the one bad season. Is it luck, coaching, talent....probably a mix of all of those things. The minor league side is looking better than it has in years as well, so it's overall a much more positive outlook than a few months ago.
  25. glory
    Yeah I’d probably take him out as well with how risky his thumb is. Hopefully JS can fight the urge to use a leverage reliever (unless the game gets close).
