2025 Toronto Blue Jays Season Thread

[bizaro86]

If Bo is well enough to play I like
Lukes/Varsho/Barger in the OF
And then
3B: Clement
SS: Gimenez
2B: Bo
1B: Vladdy

I like that as the lineup next year as well. I'd love to re-sign Bo for his bat, but if he's only willing to play SS I don't think you can commit to him for the long term because his range is already not good enough.

I meant at the majors. He didn’t play SS throughout his Jay career. Did he play third? I just know prior to SS he was playing another position as SS wasn’t his forte and it was clear he wanted the higher paycheque from mastering a more lucrative position.

The umpiring in both the Yankees And Mariners Series was really good IMO. Hopefully stays the same in the WS. I was actually surprised by how fair it was. I thought the Jays would get cheated.

I agree with the Yankees series but not the Mariners series. Atleast the first few games of the ALDS there were maybe 3 or 4 missed calls. Doug Eddings missed 24 calls in game 2 alone.

It could have been alot worse but I wouldn't call it realy good.

Ugh, hate to hear this kinda stuff. Puts a dark cloud on things. Reading that his wife is very pregnant.

We are just over 24 hours away from the beginning of the World ####ing Series.

I was 12 the last time they were there. I still remember sitting in our basement with my cousins when Carter hit the winner.

Yep, I was 11. We were on vacation driving down the Oregon coast in an RV from BC...I actually had to listen to that particular HR on the radio in the RV.

All anyone can talk about is how yoked the guys are behind the plate in Toronto.

[Whynotnow]

Yesavage the starter.

Hello fellow Xennial!

[Scornfire]

I was 4 months old in 92, parents still have my blue jays onesie I think

[flamingred89]

Bo and France added. Loperfido and I think Bruihl dropped?

It was Yariel who was dropped. Interesting that Ty France is on the roster

Yariel dropped.
Bruihl was already dropped ahead of the ALCS

[Cecil Terwilliger]

Yariel was the pitcher left off. Bruihl was dropped after the DS.

[howard_the_duck]

Hmm France is interesting.

Watched an interview with Schneider and MLB network yesterday that gave me a lot more optimism Bo is back in a meaningful way.

My bet is he’s our cleanup hitter tonight and DH.

[Jiri Hrdina]

The France thing seems to be largely to swap a left bat for a right bat off the bench no?

[browna]

Rodriguez always had the hint that this (playoffs) was going to be too big a spot. He survived his appearances vs the Yankees but too amped up against the Ms in his appearance and couldn’t fine the zone.

France will be a darkhorse but no way he does anything other than pinch hit in desperation.

He’s not going to go in and play 1st because Vladdy isn’t going to DH (that’s Bo) and France isn’t likely to be a starting DH.

But he has the pop and can get a cheap HR down the line at Dodger Stadium is a better chance with him than Loperfido. Maybe a bit surprised he didn’t come on for Santander last series.
