2023 Toronto Blue Jays Season Thread

Kirk is my spirit animal.

He's my favourite player by far.

Wow those are two shocking statistics (bullpen & Merrifield).

Awesome

Chris Flexen scratched for the Mariners. Jays face some dude I never heard of Easton McGee

Merrifield has injected the type of veteran presence they needed. He's a guy that is focused on execution on every player, every AB, every swing.
The team has a more serious feel this year. Badly needed. I liked Teo, Gurriel, etc, but at times there was too much joking around in the dugout.

Whit has leaned into being a slap hitter. There isn’t much authority on his hits or anything but he’s getting contact and using his superior speed well to get on base and do damage on the base paths. Add in his positive value on defence and he’s a solid all around player for the Jays. You’d like more oomph on his hits but he’s just not hitting flyballs which have the lowest batting average so it works.

Looking good early on.

Also just barely added Pearson, who has definite swing and miss stuff.

Counterpoint: I haven't seen a single pitch over the last 5 days, but will be watching today. I apologize in advance.

Maybe you've heard of his brothers Rawlings McGee and Louisville McGee.

A baseball name if i have ever heard one.

Feels like the Jays never score in the 1st inning

[KelVarnsen]

Biggio is useless

[Hockey]

And Easton McGee gonna throw a perfect game

[Blaster86]

Jays facing a new pitcher is always hilarious. Every ####ing time, they just burn through the order twice at warp speed and then the pitcher either gets pulled or they blow him up the third time through.

[Kasi]

Four pitch inning from the top of the order. Way to make him work hard.

[Inferno]

The Blue Jays seem to play rookie pitchers like the Flames play rookie goalies. They make them look like All-Stars.

[Hockey]

It's a Gausman start so not surprised they can't score

[Hockey]

Gausman is an absolute beast this year

[Hockey]

Geez Springer getting no luck

[KelVarnsen]

If Biggio had a different last name he wouldn’t be on a MLB roster

[Cali Panthers Fan]

Holy hell, I'm sure glad I do not have to watch Teoscar constantly strike out on my team anymore. 6 of last 7 at bats were strikeouts? yikes.
