Blue Jays GDT: 2024 v4 |Mon, Jun 17 | vs BOS | 7pm ET/4pm PT | Pivetta vs Kikuchi

I'd normally agree but I think psychologically that winning this series against a weak Oakland team and getting back to basically .500 (and within 2ish games of the playoffs) is *massive* ahead of the run of games against tough teams for the rest of the month.

Yeah, a series loss would be super disappointing. I just think "Oakland sucks so the Jays have to sweep them" is a bit much.

Any chance we can get Rooker and stick him in LF? Babe at 2nd

Ok maybe "must" was the wrong word. What I mean is that a series win you only get to within a game of .500. If they sweep, they go a game over. It's a big deal. It gets late early, as Yogi Bera once said. They have to start making some hay now. The runway is slowly getting shorter. You have to capitalize on these teams.

Manoah out for the season. Will undergo UCL surgery.

 

[MK78]

Yeah i had a feeling that was coming for Manoah. one article says its either TJ or some repair with a brace.

 

[MK78]

And the scoring futility in the 1st inning continues. lol.

Yeah, it depends on how damaged the ligament is. If it's fully torn he gets TJ. If not they try to brace it for it to heal on its own and remain stable.

Obligatory "John Fisher can rot in hell" post. What he's doing to the A's is shameful. Yeah they obviously can't keep playing in the dump of a stadium they're in now, but he clearly never intended to act in good faith with the city of Oakland unless they were willing to pay for his whole new stadium for him, the cheap bastard. And this Plan B of playing in Sacramento for possibly 3 years waiting out the hope that they sort things out in Vegas is hilariously stupid.

It's so weird. They have a top ten offense since the streak started.

 

[jetsforever]

Teo finally broke the Yankees-Dodgers draw

Aren't they middle of the pack for offense in the last 30 days?

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Well, at least Harris has faced more than the minimum number of batters now lol

 

[PanniniClaus]

Bassitt limits the damage. See if we can get to this vaunted A's staff.

 

[MK78]

wasted opportunity to go ahead in the 7th...

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

1 extra base hit between the two teams....

Fun game!

 

[MK78]

Jesus fatty cant even catch a popup behind the plate!

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

With a bullpen game scheduled for Sunday, it was a huge start by Bassitt here to save them (for now)

Can't let it go too deep into extras if they don't score off Miller

 

[MK78]

Good lord 1 run off the A's... just brutal thru 9 innings.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Game over

 

[MK78]

haha fitting ending. get your ass walked off.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Amazing offense strikes again. Wasted a gem by Bassitt

And I don't even know what that pitch was from Green lmao

 

[The don godfather]

Fat head Schneider must go!

 

[CabanaBoy5]

I repeat, it must be so frustrating to be a starting pitcher on this team. The near historic first inning drought is just one point of evidence of how pathetic this offence is.

 

[Beantown Beatdown]

Blow it up. This team is embarrassing. Bring in all new personnel. Spent all this money to upgrade the stadium only to have fans watch a AA team out there. Keep Berrios and Jansen I guess. Gotta keep some pieces. Everyone else can kick rocks. Start over.
