Depends how Yariel looks I suppose. Hopefully having too many SP's for a 5 man rotation is a problem the Jays have to solve somehow.

He's out now 5.2 IP and 92 pitches, 61 strikes, 5 K's and 0 walks I did not anticipate Manoah coming back to the MLB roster any time soon, but I may have been wrong.

Manoah has completed 5 innings now and hasn't walked or hit a single batter. That's actually pretty encouraging

From the game day live summary. Just scroll down until you see the "Home run" and click on it, another window pops up with the data on the AB. You can do that for any event in the summary. It's a great way to go back and see what a pitcher was throwing and his velocity and stuff like that too.

See you next year Ricky

Well, the guy has had a front row seat to a lot of cheating.

Nimmala is sucking ass in Dunedin so far

I think Bo and Vlad will be traded before next season so that could open up a spot for Horwitz and Jimimez. Of course there will be money to spend if they deal those two so I could see them shooting for guys like Adames/Soto/Bregman too.

Blue Jays Triple-A affiliate named one of the best in MiLB and it's easy to see why The Toronto Blue Jays' Triple-A affiliate, the Buffalo Bisons, was recently selected as one of the top ten best teams in the minors as per MLB Pipeline. This is an encouraging development for an organization with a minor league system that ranked 24th overall when the team rankings were released in early March. Looking at the Bisons’ roster, it’s no wonder this squad is being recognized because it’s loaded with MLB-ready talent. Ricky Tiedemann, the team’s top prospect, was Buffalo’s Opening Day starter, and while he’s had mixed results early on, there’s been nothing to suggest he won’t be able to help the big-league club if called upon this season. Chad Dallas, the Jays’ #15 prospect per MLB Pipeline, impressed with a strong showing in spring training and is also a part of the rotation. He leads Buffalo in innings pitched and is part of the improved pitching depth the front office strived to improve in recent years. Although he’s struggled with control, reliever Connor Cooke could also find his way to the majors this season. Some of the shine has come off Zach Pop since he was acquired at the trade deadline halfway through the 2022 season. Similarly, Hayden Juenger has gone from a promising prospect to facing a crucial year in his development. Having this pair improve in 2024 will add to the strength of this staff. On the position player side of things, Orelvis Martinez and Addison Barger are on the cusp of reaching the show. They are tied for the second on the Bisons in hits (15) and both have an OPS approaching .900. Leo Jimenez isn’t flashy and is persistently underrated, but considered the best defensive infielder in the system and could debut sometime this year. Spencer Horwitz burst onto the MLB scene and played well in a 39-game stint with the Blue Jays last season. He’s displayed tremendous contact skills and the ability to get on base at a prolific rate. So far, the lefty has 18 hits in 48 at-bats (.375) with 16 walks and just eight strikeouts for an eye-popping OBP of .531. He may not be among the team’s top 30 prospects but Will Robertson is an ascending talent who could get the call sooner rather than later. The left-fielder is batting .467 (11-for-30) with four doubles and a team-high four homers. The brain trust thinks highly of the 26-year-old, proven by his steady playing time in the spring and his inclusion on the Jays’ Arizona Fall League roster, where he flourished. Robertson’s power and natural ability to play corner outfield may give him an edge. Damiano Palmegiani also flashed his skills at the Arizona Fall League and might be next in line after the quartet of Martinez, Barger, Jimenez, and Horwitz. He started slow but has gradually started to raise his average as the days have gone by. He’s been splitting his time in the field between first and third base. Rounding out the roster are players like outfielders Nathan Lukes and Cam Eden, and catcher Peyton Henry, all of whom have experience at the major league level. That speaks to the depth of this team and it has allowed well-regarded prospects like Alan Roden and Josh Kasevich to start their seasons at Double-A New Hampshire.

Yes in hindsight it would have been nice to see what Pearson would have done in that spot after being electric in his last outing. Still so frustrating losing that game. Jays staff basically held those s*** stains in check for 26 innings for the most part.

26yo lefty reliever in AAA that misses bats....and the strike zone, consistently.

Say what now? Let's have a source on that one plz

Angels scored two in the top of 9 to beat those s*** stain Rays Nicely done

Sucks to blow that one, but big picture...Gausman looks to be coming around. That's huge Romano and Swanson will round into form too I'm sure. Then we'll win a lot of ball games

I'm shocked Vlad didn't get the ball up in the air there. Weird to see him hit a grounder.

Well, three series wins in a row I guess? Should be happy but what a f***ing gut punch losing a sweep like that and having to watch the Yankees celebrate a win the bunch of goddamn goofs

Do we have to bring these guys back and stick them in the middle.of high leverage, or is there any way to ease them in slowly? Asking for a friend

Barger and Palmegiani were off to slow starts but both just killing it now. Barger .935 OPS Palmegiani .853 OPS Orelvis .875 OPS Horwitz .1.029 OPS

So with guys like Schneider and Clemente making their way to the Jays and actually looking like they might be positive contributors, are we th8nking there might be more to the Jays system than meets the eye? I mean it clearly isn't overflowing with upcoming superstars but might actually be a decent amount of 2-3 fWAR type guys on the way.

Kooch, Berrios and Bassitt all in their groove, if Gausman can get back to being Gausman Jays will have a chance to win a lot of games.

Yeah, if Yariel is for real and can slowly ramp up the rotation is bonkers too. Hopefully Gaus has it going.

The Jays have unlocked Kikuchi Guy is a fricken stud now Hopefully Gausman has s*** figured out so we can sweeeeeeeeeep

Yep, him too.

Man if Romano ad Swanson can get settled in, this effing bullpen is deadly with Yimi in god mode this season. Especially if you get 'good' Mayza and 'good' Richards. Sooooooo deep.
