GOING FOR THE SWEEP! The Silver Fox will get this bullpen start rolling. The Rangers will be starting veteran Martin Perez, who has eight career games against the Blue Jays. The Jays have not faced Perez this season but hit well off of him last year. The 31-year-old lefty faced Toronto twice in 2022, both times when he was a pitcher for the Boston Red Sox. In the first appearance, he was unable to get out of the second inning as he allowed five runs, including home runs to Teoscar Hernandez, Lourdes Gurriel Jr and his current teammate Semien that led to a Blue Jays 18-4 thumping of the Red Sox. His second appearance was out of the bullpen where he allowed a leadoff single to Randal Grichuk who scored on an RBI triple by Springer.

Wow, didn't see Gausman giving up that many tonight.

JaysAllMighty not going to go away quietly. Watch out Stangstag:p

Jung looks like a keeper.

Gotta love the s*** eating grin as runs back to the dugout.

Rangers fans must despise the Jays.

Save some for tomorrow boys.

This game is crawling. I was hoping it would be over before ufc 279 starts tonight.

Remember those July gdt's where a half this board was saying Bo was basically a scrub? I do.

LOL..........Taps!

The risp kings!

Saturday afternoon’s game will see Kohei Arihara go up against Kevin Gausman. This will be the first time that Arihara has faced off against the Blue Jays as the former Nippon Professional Baseball league pitcher came over to North America for the 2021 season. Arihara had a rough 2021 campaign as he posted a 6.64 ERA over just ten starts and spent the majority of the 2022 season playing for the Round Rock Express in Triple-A for the Rangers. Arihara was called up in mid-August, but after his third start and surrendering six runs over 3.1 innings against the Detroit Tigers, he was moved to the bullpen where he made one appearance last weekend and has now been summoned back to the rotation. Gausman made his Blue Jays debut earlier this season against the Rangers where he was still working out the kinks, picking up a no-decision when he surrendered three runs on eight hits over five innings. Gausman has made eight career appearances (seven starts) against the Rangers and has posted a 3-2 record with a 3.11 ERA. He has not started in Texas since 2017, but that outing saw him come one out away from a shutout, however, he was pulled in the ninth with a pair of runners on.

Once Robo umps come in he will hit another plateau. Best thing that could ever happen to him.

Someone (Laika?) posted an article on here a while back about the benefits of not swinging, or something along those lines. There is a direct correlation to hitting pitches up in the zone and barrel % and LA. I'm sure the Jays' hitting gurus are aware that anything low in the zone and Vladdy tops the ball resulting in him being the gidp king. Being selective to pitches up in the zone may result in more strike outs for Vladdy but the benefits would out weigh the cost. Why doesn't he make the adjustment? Who knows, but I bet he is aware of all this. Hitting is just really hard.

This guy better not show his face on the streets of NY.

Yep. Rays just find ways to win. Not looking forward to playing them.

We've won 9 of the last 11 games since getting swept by the Angels and yet the Rays still stay ahead.
