2023 Toronto Blue Jays Season Thread

Sweep!

[ben voyonsdonc]

Back to back four hit shutouts.

Sweeeeep! Kikuchi and Co for 17 Ks!! Wow. Bo and Vlad doing their thing!

[Roof-Daddy]

Awesome. First sweep of the season.

Huge to get these wins against struggling opponents, with the hell of a schedule coming up in May.

[sketchyt]

Loving how this team doesn't have to rely on the long ball to generate offense.

[SuperMatt18]

And as good as it's been I do think there are some players that could be providing more at this point.

Chapman, Bichette, Guerrero, Merrifield, and Kiermaier have been good.

But Springer, Varsho, Kirk, Espinal, and Jansen have all shown they could provide more with their bats.

[Roof-Daddy]

The last 11 outs the Jays recorded today, 10 K's and 1 ground out

lol

Bullpen was fire

[Beninho]

The Swanson trade is looking very nice. What a weapon he could turn out to be. Filthy stuff and could be used as a closer if needed.

Swanson's stuff was nasty today.

That White Sox line up is in a bad spot right now. I honestly don't know what is going on exactly but they should definitely be better than this. Dylan Cease, Kopech, Giolito, Lance Lynn. Those are good pitchers. Eloy Jimenez, Luis Robert, Moncada, Vaughn, Tim Anderson (when he's healthy), Benintendi. It's not a murderers row but they should be better than 7-18. It's a long season, I expect them to get better.

Robbie Ray has been shut down for the season, so we will once again not see him pitch vs the Jays in Toronto during the regular season.


Also, Guasman over Ray looking like an even better call than it did last year.

Not to take anything away from the Jays, because top to bottom they were outstanding, but that White Sox team is pathetic lol. They looked like they had no interest in playing baseball at all. Going to be a long season for the south siders.

damn, didn't realize today was an early afternoon game - wasn't able to tune in at work lol.

just watched the highlights on MLB youtube, awesome stuff

It was very weird . Players arguing , no coaches to be found . Seems like they have all already checked out , and we’re 20 games into the season.

[Strange Brew]

There are some awful teams this year. A’s already at a negative 100 run differential.

Thing is those bad teams still win 50 games so never take for granted getting a sweep against them.

[Samonadreau]

Jays all of a sudden only 4 games back of the Rays.

[Roof-Daddy]

The Rays have only played against two good teams this season (Astros and Jays)

Lost both of those series (2-4 record)

Now they get to play the White Sox again.

[Cheese]

[Sylvanfan]

Castillo has been really good to start the season, and Kelinic is finally displaying some of the skills that had him as the top prospect in the MLB pipeline 2 years ago. J-Rod and Teoscar both having slower starts with 224 batting averages and sub 290 on base.

Jays have not played well against the Mariners in recent times.

[flames_fan_down_under]

Should be a tight series! Turning into a bit of a rivalry between these two teams as well.

[KelVarnsen]

Hopefully Teo strikes out 4 times per game.

Maybe a solo HR if the Mariners are down a ton of runs.
