Y-Rod gets the start today. Which is the only reason why I’ll be watching.

With the Jays, its starts at the top, Jays really need new leadership and a new GM. Doubt it happens anytime soon

Jays offseason, was basically terrible... Yes I have heard the arguments there was nothing available.

They are a bubble team, likely finishing with 80+ wins.

Depending if their key pitchers stay healthy.

From Schneider perspective, I just don't understand why Kirk has started 12 out of 14 games. Makes no sense, he clearly needs a rest.

Use your backup already.

Y-Rod looked pretty good in the first inning

Y Rod looked pretty decent through one! It would be nice if he could be a reliable #5! Gausman looks like he may need some extra rest and Manoah looks like he's completely cooked.

Man, if Varsho could develop into a good hitter, that would really make a huge difference.

Yep, hopefully as the season continues he can build up to 80-90-100 pitches

There is baseball for you.

Pathetic, weak, sad but well placed pop fly to the corner results in a hit and a run.

Next batter absolutely scorches a line drive but right at IKF (thankfully)

No run. The idiot forgot how many outs there were.

I'm a little worried about those new outfield corners. Sort of a death trap for those corner outfielders. I cringed watching Schneider dive head first for that ball.

On another note: For all the consternation about the IKF signing not moving the needle at all, I've really liked his game so far. Plays exceptional defense at multiple positions, is hitting over .300 with an OPS over .800 (I know, I know, it's early). Strikes out a bit, but still within reasonable expectations.

I like his game.

Yeah, IKF is a decent ball player, for some reason the Yankees used him as an OFer last year and it tanked his value.

I think the biggest "problem" with IKF was that he wasn't Ohtani or Soto. The signing felt underwhelming after all the rumours.

They named him as an assistant coach last season but he worked mostly in spring training.

Maybe they've expanded that this season and if he's not full-time he comes in every once and a while.

Well we certainly are doing a good job of making the worst team in baseball look pretty decent.
