Shulman and Siddall are the best. Shulman elevates the colour guy and he clearly respects the insight that Siddall brings. They’ve developed great chemistry in short order.

Siddall talked about a catcher on one knee and it was well said. Buck would have ranted then told a story about an onion on his belt.

Biggio takes a ball inches off the plate but it’s called a strike. Water is still wet.

Filthy stuff from Pearson tonight. I really hope he continues to figure it all out. He would be an absolutely devastating setup man/closer with his stuff.

All hail our new Pearson overlord! Nasty stuff big Nate!

Wonder if they leave him in for a third inning!

[Roof-Daddy]

Man, if Green comes back strong the back end of the BP could start to get nasty between Pearson, Swanson, Green and Romano.

[Jason14h]

Funny that only Bichette can’t hit today

[Roof-Daddy]

Wow.

Won two in a row for the first time in 16 days.

Too bad Manoah starts tomorrow.

[flames_fan_down_under]

Awesome! Great performance by Kikuchi and Pearson!

What a twat. I hope the Blue Jays ditch him and make a point. This world is getting very ugly for the LGBTQ community in recent years, they are getting hammered by the right.

People I used to think were kind conservatives are now joining in the ugliness and absurdly proclaiming that wokeness is the reason this is happening, like they don't have a choice to support embattled minority groups because of the progressive left.

We need to start fighting for these groups or things will continue to get worse.

[Machiavelli]

Seeing 100 mph from Pearson is so freaking satisfying

[Kasi]

Pearson and Richards are turning our very well so far this season. (Despite rocky start for both)

[Jason14h]

Garcia needs to be relegated to just no leverage situations and let’s give Pearson a chance to pitch the late innings

Yes to both. Pearson is throwing fire right now.

[Roof-Daddy]

Garcia has been really unlucky and susceptible to the long ball.

But between Swanson, Mayza, Pearson, Romano and soon hopefully Green the Jays could have the makings of a lock it down BP.

Rotation is a mess though thanks to Manoahs unforseen complete and utter collapse.

[KelVarnsen]

Kiddie pools have more depth than the Jays starting pitching. Which makes Manoah's struggles worse.

Yep.

Good news is that there is a few interesting names at AA now as far as SP's go. Some of them will be in AAA by mid season or so and might be something the Jays can rely on starting next season.

Tiedemann, everyone knows about. Basically as elite as they come.
Kloffenstein, looked done last season but has absolutely turned a corner this season.
Robberse, not dominating but only 21 and his numbers are nothing to sneeze at.
Schultz, again not dominant, but solid and probably close to a AAA promotion.
Dallas, just promoted to AA and has been putting up very strong counting stats.

Keep an eye out for Hagen Danner as well. 17 k/9 over 11 IP in A/AA this year and is now up with the Bisons. Struck out 2 last night but also gave up a HR. Still only 24 so lots of time to polish up in AAA. Also a little blast from Blue Jays past as the Bisons were playing against St Paul and none other than Aaron Sanchez was on the bump for them.
