I agree. Doubles, base runners, steals etc. I can watch that.

And don't forget hitting the ball the other way. I mean, they are professional baseball players after all, so doing those things isn't too big of an ask from us as fans.

Vlad Jr. 2 for 2 with a double, a HR, 1 BB, and 4 RBI in his first game back at AAA and the games not over yet.

The MLB should be embarrassed to be employing this goof umping.

Quinn Wolcott is his name. Galvis was saying during his at bats in the 1st and 4th inning he had a conversation with the catcher the whole time instead of focusing on the ball. I didn't watch the whole game but he called a horrible strike on Maile with the bases loaded that would have tied the game.

Ya that's pretty unprofessional. But not surprising considering the god complex that the majority of these MLB umps possess.

How many games have the Jays been no hit through the first five innings of a game so far this year? I think rough estimate is 6 so far.

Positives so far: Tellez has looked decent. Galvis. Starting pitching. Vlad Jr.

Seems the 2-3 isnt that bad based on actual stats.

Boston University grad students analyzed more than four million pitches from 11 seasons of Major League Baseball (2008-2018), and the findings aren’t great for human umpires. According to the study, umps made 34,294 incorrect ball and strike calls in 2018. That works out to 14 blown calls per game and 1.6 per inning.

Benefiting from a couple of those 14 blown strike calls.

He hasn't played a game yet, but I'm already a little worried about Vlad's fitness level.

Good play to end the game.........Teoscar, to Galvis to home plate.........out.

Jays win. Might as well enjoy the nice moments, might not be a lot of them this year.

at least we're not as terrible as Boston? Allowing 6.33 runs per game? that's hard to overcome.
