2024 Toronto Blue Jays Season Thread

[Cali Panthers Fan]

Vladdy gets a lead off single, then it's erased by a first pitch swinging Bichette, bouncing slowly into a double play.

Seriously Bo, time to take a different approach.

Missed most of the game but it's good to see that Gausman is getting closer to finding his game. Big win

Great from Gausman, again.
5 runs or less, again, for now 20 games and counting. Got dicey in the 8th, where having 5 runs would've had them safe even with the near Grand Slam.

Edit: Also 1-0 now with powder blues.

Also pretty telling, batting average wise, about where the problem is.
For guys that have played 20 games or more, team leaders in batting average are
1 - Turner
2 - Clement
3 - IKF

2 of those 3 weren't on the team last year and from sounds of it, Clement is a part timer last year and this, and an all around natural athlete who probably can hit .250 without any coaching. Bo and Vlad are barely above 200, (Turner is 305). From me, that is pretty clear that the hitting coach's program for the guys who have been on the team last year and prior, has rendered them impotent (at least baseball wise) as the new guys coming in, who weren't solely brought in for offense per se, havemt been corrupted by the same coaching.

I think we should make Turner the hitting coach as well. He mostly doesn't play defense, he's got some spare time.

Seriously though, great to see them win one against the Dodgers at least. Break the streak before the next KC series, and hopefully that one goes better.

Varsho has an OPS+ of 144 with the same hitting coach.

It's April.

Bo will eventually figure it out, he always does.
