Yikes!!

Kevin Gausman, who was 12-10 with a 3.35 ERA last season, will draw the start for Toronto. He went 1-1 with a 4.22 ERA in two starts against the Cardinals last season and is 1-4 with a 4.05 ERA in nine career games against St. Louis, including five starts. Gausman could face a Cardinals lineup missing catcher Willson Contreras, who departed Thursday's game with a contusion after reliever Jordan Hicks hit him in the knee with a fastball while he was crouched behind the plate. Contreras had an MRI exam, which came back clean. The St. Louis Cardinals are banking on starting pitcher Jack Flaherty to make a strong rebound from two injury-marred seasons. They hope that process starts Saturday when Flaherty draws the start at home against the Toronto Blue Jays. Flaherty was 2-1 with 4.25 ERA last season in nine appearances (eight starts), after recovering from a shoulder injury. He was 9-2 with a 3.22 ERA in 2021, but he was limited to 17 appearances (15 starts) by an oblique strain that season. Back in 2019, Flaherty was 11-8 with 2.75 ERA and could become a difference-maker for the Cardinals if he can regain his previous top-of-the-rotation form.

He will now claim to have suffered an oblique strain.

Why is Rendon embarrassing himself like that? He should focus on trying to stay healthy and earn the money he is being paid.

Blue Jays host the White Sox the last week of April. Benches clear. Mild mannered bench coach Charlie Montoyo goes apeshit and breaks Schneider’s jaw. Subsequently, Mattingly takes over as skipper for the rest of the season because Schneider has lost all cred and can’t show his face. You want bold, you got it.

It's been about six months since you've seen this sweet bastard. Enjoy the win!!

Give the reins to Donny Ball.

Yep. The ball looked like the size of an Aspirin pill to Biggio that plate appearance.

We're going to KC Royal our way to a win.

Could have been worse. Lets Rally.

Nice Vlad.

Attaboy Chappy! Lukes scores his first mlb run.

Mayza to Goldy.....gulp.

Even with the clock, this game seems to be crawling.

Swanson served him up like a TV dinner.

We need some long ball action here. Who's going to be the first Jay of the season to hit a dinger?

Wow what a turn.

Good call by the skipper to pull Manoah, but Pop is the x factor.

Damn:mad:

Buck: Vladdy hustling out of the box. Replay: Vladdy casual jog out of the box.

Nice catch George.
