Blue Jays GDT: 2022 v3 | Next: Sun, May 1 | vs HOU | 1:30pm ET/10:30am PT | Valdez vs Gausman

[Cloned]

He started slow last year

Not this slow and he was already hitting HRs

 

[ER89]

Kirk and bo need to pick it up

 

[TorMapleJays]

Jays are looking like they are going to run away with the division this year.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Can't wait until the bats pick it up

Espinal will be our X factor this year.

 

[Tw1ster]

Obviously they’re a contender this year but they also started 10-5 in 2018. They aren’t gonna run away with anything this early

 

[Maestro84]

Anyone take a look at Semien’s numbers so far this year? Yikes.

So far Chapman > Semien, and Gausman > Ray

 

[Suntouchable13]

Whatever, not our problem.

The team was god awful in 2018 lol there's no comparison. 2018 was a tank-job year while this year is an all-in year

Yes I realize this, but they are 15 games into a season with three other pretty good teams in the division. It’s going to be a dog fight all year

So far Chapman > Semien, and Gausman > Ray

Didn't realize Semien was off to such a bad start.

Yeah because the AL east is known as a division teams run away with

Don't agree with the other poster either. I could see 4 teams winning 90+ games in the AL East once again and it wouldn't be surprising at all

 

[Maestro84]

Didn't realize Semien was off to such a bad start.

Yeah he has a 40 OPS+ so far....yikes. I know it's early but that's nearly 100 points lower than last year with the Jays

 

[tokyoite]

Ganbare Kikuchi-san !!
from Tokyo, Japan

 

[weems]

Kikuchi vs Garcia

Lol nobody runs away after 2 weeks in baseball

He got paid

 

[Morgs]

Lol nobody runs away after 2 weeks in baseball

My favourite part is we're literally 4 games ahead of Baltimore and 1-2-3 ahead of New York, Tampa, and Boston respectively. Like one loss and we're potentially tied for first lol.

Assuming we stay in the top-3 I'd be shocked if we're not on the playoffs, but winning the East is going to be more of a grind than any other division.

Nah.

1 win away last year means they close out many more games this year

And our Bullpen is way better then last year. 115 win season!

 

[The Nemesis]

Dusty Baker doing Dusty Baker things.

I'm assuming you're being facetious, but if not:

I'm more bullish on this team than almost anyone and if they can pull out 100 wins we should be laughing. I'm not crazy high on Boston but even then they'd easily be in contention to win any other division besides the NL West. New York and Tampa Bay are arguably two of the best ~6 teams in the league and pretending we're going to sleepwalk to 115 wins is just setting yourself up for disappointment.

 

[Morgs]

Thanks Dusty for giving us a free out!!

 

[canucksfan]

Just catching up, why the hell would anyone get Brantley to bunt.

 

[The Nemesis]

The sparkly green jacket of the woman behind the plate is distracting.

 

[al secord]

Garcia looks like my grandmother learning the cha cha
