2024 Toronto Blue Jays Season Thread

[Whynotnow]

Gausman looks like a shell of wht he used to be. Tough to watch.

God KK is awful

[flamingred89]

Bah. Anything but that Springer. Let's Cole off the hook big time.

[Whynotnow]

Boone is so damn annoying. Always yapping about everything.

[flamingred89]

Gausman is unwatchable today. Just awful.

[Whynotnow]

Embarrassing team is embarrassing

[KelVarnsen]

So glad I didn’t watch after the first inning

[flamingred89]

What a funny split. 2-2 with both teams blowing out the other in their wins.

This one really felt like it should be closer. Jays had Cole on the ropes many times and Gausman had so many opportunities to get out of jams but just couldn't make that last pitch.

Watching Jays in 30 and Cabrera jawing at Yanks dugout and Shulman saying it's the last thing this game needs, I disagree. Jays need maybe a team bonding moment and a bench clearer would help that.

And the Yanks keep developing solid players, and need to with the $ they spend on other players, but the Rice kid, has been a killer this series.

There's no right or wrong answer, but I think when teams are in such dire situations, as the Jays are here, where guys are more frustrated then ever, getting into an argument can make the wheels come off even more if it's not worthy of the fight. Atkins should've been fired some time ago. On the other hand he clearly can see this philosophy doesn't work and can clean up his own mess. I'm not fully opposed to that if they abandon the defence at the expense of offence, approach. They have the wrong strategy and subsequently the wrong players that align to that. Unless they change that philosophy, bringing in new guys that fit that mold will still yield the same results.

Time to look at guys who can get on base and mash, while playing average defence. If you're an OFer, you have to be able to hit HRs.

Hopefully Y-Rod doesn’t suck today

[browna]

Buck catches ceremonial first pitch.

[KelVarnsen]

No Vladdy or IKF today.

In other words. The Jays 2 best players aren’t playing today.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Rodriguez looks great so far. Impressed.

[flamingred89]

Le sigh.

[KelVarnsen]

KK sucks

[bluejays]

of course.

[browna]

Jays using last years Nike template jerseys. Bigger names and the higher MLB logo on the back. Makes sense as these are one offs.

[KelVarnsen]

Lol. The Jays are 16-28 on Canada Day

[KelVarnsen]

Game over
