Sounds like heavy rain right up until when first pitch was scheduled, then gonna be light rain for a bit. Could see a postponement, but I think they start a couple hours late

Ken Giles was DFA'd today. Has only pitch 4.1 innings this year, not the same guy who last pitched for the Jays. Still might be worth a look.

It's Friends night so I guess that means we don't have to see that commercial anymore

Bad Berríos shows up again this inning. The bats are going to need to come out in a big way.

Oh man, Berrios has been such a major let down this season. Like what a critically important piece go completely bad. Just leaves so many pitches middle middle.

With the 2 day break, wouldn't it have made sense to skip a Berrios start?

Was Berrios the opening day starter? That is the absolute curse of Jays curses.

Skipping a Berríos start would have likely meant another Kikuchi start. Berríos is supposed to be a number 2-3 guy so it’s a big problem if the Jays think they need to skip him.

By playing Berrios, White, Gausman, they can decide to skip Kikuchi and bring in Manoah on his usual rest.

He is the worst starter in the majors amongst qualified pitchers. There is no more trying to apply lip gloss to this pig of a season from Jose.

Oh I agree. It’s a disaster of a season for Jose and it’s killing the Jays. Right now, we have 2.5 starters which is brutal. The problem with skipping Berríos starts is that you don’t have anyone after him that you are excited to see pitch more often.

I'd still take a struggling Berrios over Kikuchi any day of the week.

The bats aren’t exactly setting the world on fire either. We haven’t looked great since the deadline and I wonder if the lack of a big move might have deflated the team morale a bit…especially when they see many of the teams around them get better.

Ah. Stripling being injured really complicates things (in addition to Ryu being out).

Basically the exact same thing is happening to Tampa right now with the Os. Outhit 11-1, score 7-0.
