2024 Toronto Blue Jays Season Thread

[TKB]

Springer needs to go away, guy is just complete trash at the plate.

[browna]

As tacky as the Rogers Centre renos are which made the full width behind the plate ads, causing the pitch camera view to now be zoomed out, it’s infinitely better then the trashy looking dogs breakfast of 4 different ads, all different sizes, behind home plate in Cleveland.

Regardless, it's the wild west of medicine and doctors down there, it's where the Oilers medical staff trains.

Timing seems suspect too. Was this already in the works with Buffalo or was this a test he got when in the majors last week?

Either way did he possibly get called up so he could get suspended at the major league level (does that matter vs being in the minors when getting suspended, serious question?) and get the major league suspension out of the way?

Umm, fertility issues don’t have an age attached to them, trust me I know first hand. Whether his story is true or not is one thing but if it is true, that sucks for them. Infertility is hard enough to deal with and then this to top it off,

FINALLY

Finally George did something decent with the bat there.

[Karl]

Runners 1st & 2nd, 1 out. Jays get no more runs. Jansen & Barger strike out.

Am I shocked? Nope. Am I disappointed???..... umm...yeah.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Great timing for a rain delay. Kikuchi was really struggling.

[Karl]

KK is even a bigger embarrassment with the bat than George is as hard as that is to be.

[Karl]

Well that will do it.

Boy do we stink.

[Karl]

Seems like 90% of the Guardians ABs are hard hit balls in this one.

What's clear is they are very good and we are very, very no good.

[Karl]

Forget about it...

May as well put in a position player to pitch now if I was the Jays manager.

In fact I doubt the Jays would do much better even if the Guardians decided to put in a position player of their own right now to pitch.

[Karl]

Wow. Have a game Spencer. Too bad the rest of your team is junk.

[Karl]

And KK's AB ends the rally. Just like that!

[Whynotnow]

What a dismal season, it’s hard to find anything good about. I guess it should force Roger’s hand hopefully to get rid of the guys running this team and get serious about having a sting management team.

We are seeing some of the youth, none of them look like game breakers, but they are players and outperforming a number of vets, which isn’t hard right now.

And that’s about it. It’s not a fun team to even watch really, yet I torture myself.

[Karl]

Another base running error...

We've all been long since drunk so...

[Karl]

We might have to start intentionally walking Kwan. Even with nobody on base.

Fixed

[Karl]

Oh Damn. I legit thought Springer had a dinger there.

[flamingred89]

We all know the Jays are horrible at the dish. But they may also be one of the unluckiest teams I've ever seen. Even when they do hit the ball hard it's always right at someone. Incredible.

[Karl]

I mean, these Guardians are hitting almost everything hard against all our pitchers. Rarely are they ever getting fooled bad, unlike us.

[flamingred89]

Funny enough the Jays have a much higher XBA this game at .328 to the Guardians .282. And yet the Guardians are out hitting the Jays 12-8. Baseball is a cruel game.
