Sad situation with Swanson's 4 year old son taken via helicopter to the hospital and in critical condition after being hit by a car.
Obviously hope for his son making a full recovery. From the Jays perspective this is terrible news as well. Something like that could be life changing, even with a full recovery. Hope the Jays help any way they can.

Putting a positive spin on Manoah, at least he looks to be in midseason form.
Hopefully now he's said his peice the Jays PR crew will make him unavailable and he can just focus on pitching. He started going sideways last offseason when he started talking trash.

Truculent!

Guerrero is gonna have a monster year.
Calling it now.
Edit: I think the opposite for Schneider. Pitchers have him completely figured out, he can't lay off or hit the high fastball. I doubt he can stick in the majors.

At least, in yesterday’s outing, Manoah had significantly increased velo on his fastball and break on his slider. A 92-93 mph fastball like he had last year doesn’t play well in today’s MLB unless the pitcher has extraordinary control and great secondary pitches. If he can regularly hit 96mph, he can have a little more of a cushion.

I haven’t noticed that trend. Has there ever been light colour seats in general?
The new seating behind the plate looks like Texas.
Given the complications for a new stadium, if these changes turn out to be a hit I’d like to see them chop the stadium long term by getting rid of the 500 levels, and making the roof more modern (flat) while putting in irrigation for real
grass. The stadium is in a perfect location, why not just keep it.

Home plate lady still gets to have her seat in the same place, right?

Chapman signs with Gigantes 3x18 with opt out clauses each year.
Cole ripping Vogelback for trotting around bases after a 1st inning HR. Vogelback first cant run much faster, and secondly, Soto hit his first HR a few days ago and went a lot slower than that.

If he doesn’t want to watch him run slow he should pitch better

Cole, that Kermit the frog sounding twit, should shut his mouth. Vogelbach absolutely launched that ball. And deserved to watch it. That Soto trot is what is embarrassing.

Re: the Cole situation, I don’t have particular strong feelings. It’s a classic traditionalist vs new school showboating. I think there’s likely to be internal factions as Cole is a classic traditionalist and you also have Soto who is a huge showboat and they’re both great players. I’m sure Cole will lighten up his stance. To me I get the show business side and respect the simple bat flips we’ve been accustomed to. But the part that annoys me is the look at me skipping and that kinda silliness. In any sport when it gets to the point of WWE I wanna see the guy get punched in the nuts. Bat flips are so simple.
Anyway, normally I’d say the Jays early season should be taken with a grain of salt, but now with a few games in, the batting is looking very similar to last year…anemic. Cause for concern for me.
