Blue Jays GDT: 2023 v10 | Wed, Sept 6 | @ Oak | 330pm ET/12:30pm PT | Ryu vs Sears

[Forgotusername]

Bases loaded no outs, and only giving up 1 run, I will take it.

 

[canucksfan]

Garcia has nicely rebounded. He’s great with runners on.

 

[MK78]

Garcia bailed them out - for now.

 

[PanniniClaus]

nice work Garcia

huge...

 

[stats1]

There is no excuse for Espinal to be on this roster. He’s not even MLB quality. Guy is AAA fodder at best

 

[canucksfan]

Big blow to the O’s

 

[LaP]

They have to find a spot for Schneider more often. Yeah a good player will be on the bench but until Schneider slow down he's like one of the top hitter of the team.

Vintage Schneids

 

[mikeyz]

Atkins needs to talk to John Schneider after this game and tell him "If you sit the babe anytime soon you're fired".

 

[LaP]

Can Davis play 3rd base?

 

[cyris]

Varsho in August has been the guy I had hoped we were getting at the time of the trade.

And now he gets hurt……

 

[MK78]

Looks like he's alright - for now.

I love Varsho and Kiermaier but I like it better when only 1 plays at CF, they have Merrifield in LF and Schneider at 2B.

 

[MK78]

Good bounceback for Richards

I’d like to see what Schneider can do at 3B at some point. He played some time there in the minors and it could give us a chance to get him some more time in the lineup if he can handle the position in the bigs.

If Espinal can get time at 3rd then definitely Schneider can.

Interesting idea it would solve a lot of problems for next year. I have no idea how he's played at 3B defensively though or if it would work.

 

[MK78]

Well, despite the early drama, they put a solid effort at the plate and got the win.

Hopefully Swanson is not out long term with the back issue. They need every inch of that good bullpen.

 

[stats1]

A win is a win, not happy with the continued sloppiness but at this point I’ll take any win possible.

 

[canucksfan]

I dont think Schneider has good defense at 3B. I’m hoping he plays tomorrow instead of Whit. He needs a day off.

 

[the valiant effort]

We knew they weren’t going to go 15-0 on this stretch, but now is the time to shoot for a more manageable 14-1.

 

[Puckstuff]

Good win.

This has to be the starting lineup over the next stretch of games imo...

1. Merrifield
2. Belt
3. Bichette
4. Gurrerro
5. Springer
6. Schneider
7. Jansen/Kirk
8. Chapman
9. Varsho/KK

 

[CherryToke]

So playing your hottest hitter is a good strategy after all

 

[Eyedea]

Good win.

1. Merrifield
2. Belt
3. Bichette
4. Gurrerro
5. Springer
6. Schneider
7. Jansen/Kirk
8. Chapman
9. Varsho/KK

At this point Varsho should be starting full time and Whit/KK split duties. Argument for Biggio to get into that cycle too but this is why I don’t like the current roster construction because Chappy’s been poor and we need someone that can actually play that position that’s not named Espinal.

 

[MS]

It’s nice that Schneider had a good game but he was 2-17 with 11 Ks since the Boston series and had been mostly getting blown away by velocity.

This should get him back in the lineup tomorrow but when you’re a young player you have to keep earning your playing time.
