Yesavage should be starting Game 5 with him emptying the clip anyways. We would be using Gausman in a bullpen role for Game 5 so why not Game 4 when the team needs it more?
-
For sure... I just used his name in case Yesavage struggles. If Yesavage does his thing then you roll with your usual high leverage guys.
-
I guess thats where our mentalities differ... every game is a must win to me in the playoffs. You should never save your bullets for a future game if you can use some of them to help you win in the moment. Yesavage showed me enough to be the clear Game 5 starter who got pulled after 78 pitches for a reason. Bieber didnt even throw many pitches yesterday after 10 days off. I dont think its reckless to ask him to pitch an inning or two if its required for Game 5.
-
He also gave up that bomb to Jazz to be fair.
-
Ya I think that's their plan but Yesavage would be on normal rest for Game 5 after being pulled early to help with that in Game 2. Thats why I want everything Gausman can give the team for today, we need it much more than Game 5.
-
And thats how it should be. All hands on deck to squeeze everything you can towards a win. Springer also needs to be in RF with Santandar as the DH today. I want to see the best players in every possible spot to help win today and we were about Game 5 when it gets there.
-
Its because we got a taste of the 90% odds when we were up 6-1 thats causing all the commotion. You tell me we're up 2-1 before the series started, we all sign up for it 100% of the time.
-
Haha isnt that how armchair GMing works on a message board? We cheer for the funs parts and then whine about areas where you felt the team should have done what you thought?
-
My suggestions for Game 4: Use Gausman for 3/4 innings, Lauer for 2 innings (away from Judge) and then go based on matchups after that. Game 5 (if needed) Yesavage + Bieber for 1/2 innings (if needed)
-
But he should be added to the roster today just in case we might need those innings if it goes to extras or we run out of arms.
-
Beating the Yankees to advance to the ALCS means more than beating Texas. That was the exact moment i thought about looking to beat though :)
-
I struggled going to sleep because I was thinking about how we blew the game most of the night/morning. I havent cared to this extent about any team in years. Its probably because we were so close to the greatest Jays team moment since 1993. Beating the Yankees in Yankee stadium would be exactly that.

You are taking a comment from December 9th when majority of the fanbase wanted major upgrades to the roster after a pathetic showing in 2024. Hell no did I expect the season to unfold how it has with so many players performing above their expected output. The 95% comment is based on where we are today and how we are deploying our players during games. If only only complaining about IKF playing, Springer DH and not Santandar then that means im happy with everything else im currently not complaining about.
-
No, I dont just blindly hate on everything in a hindsight fashion. The things I truly get upset about are things I felt could have been averted beforehand and majority of the time I tell you my true feelings beforehand. I said Schneider at 2B and Lukes/Straw in LF many times because we were going against a lefty. Anyways, both Barger/Schneider know they should have handled that better. Just sucks for everyone on our side.
-
I think Bieber in every start has looked bad in 1 inning and has been really good otherwise. IKF screwed him in the 1st inning so his real bad inning came in the 3rd. We'll never know if he would have gone onto locking back in since Schneider trusted his bullpen over that yesterday.
-
If you see complaints about a few things then that means you are good with the things not being complained about. Not everyone likes to write essays about every single decision the team makes like theyre paid from them lol.
-
If I had the choice between Barger/IKK then yes, I would take Barger. However, I clearly mentioned several times yesterday before the game even started that we should be using Straw or even Lukes in LF. We already had Santandar out there and that just makes the OF too weak with Schneider out there too. IKF doesnt belong on this roster, let alone starting back to back playoff games.
-
Barger vehemently called for the ball but a good OFer know that you always call the IF off when you can easily get to that ball. Thats exactly the position Schneider was in, he had a chance to help his teammate out by making the easier play and he failed in that regard. You can see Barger ask him after the play "could you have gotten that" and Schneider nods saying "yes"
-
I dont want anything but for my team to use some sense when making decisions. It wasn't just me, majority of people were baffled with the decision ahead of the game and it directly led to miscues that help cost us the game. Again, most of us agree on 95% of the things this team does. We are usually bickering about the 5% we differ on and thats fine, that's what a message board is for. You and a few others are shocked when people see things differently as a front office can never do anything wrong while we're shocked that there are people who can't see those things.
-
So this management saw Varland perform well as an opener one time and thought it was a good idea to trust him in that role for Game 4 of the ALDS. How did we go from a 6 man rotation with too many good starters to this cluster f***. Maybe we try batting IKF cleanup because he does well on wednesday night games at Yankee stadium when the temperature is above 10 degrees. God forbid we use common sense on some decisions. *im still bitter about yesterday
-
I have been mentioning this from when the rosters were announced. Not having Bassitt/Scherzer over Bruhil/Nance is very idiotic. Bassitt/Scherzer give you legit long man options in the worst case but also help save your bullpen too. Maybe if we go to Bassitt yesterday, he has his A stuff. Worst case, he looks exactly like how 75% of the bullpen has.
-
Im so f***ing down. This hurt so much knowing how this could have been known as the Vladdy game/series. He came out like a f***ing boss tonight man.
-
And hopefully our management/coaching staff dont decide to bat IKF leadoff tomorrow because of something he did in 2021 in yankee stadium at 7 pm on a random wednesday.
-
Im so glad we dont have a day off and get right back at it tomorrow. That was the most depressing loss for me since 2015 against KC.
-
Hes always in a rush to defend every decision made by the Jays that he loses the whole point lol.
