My guess based on this is Varsho, Vlad, Springer and possibly Wagner too have been playing through minor injuries, and are likely getting 2 days rest with an off day tomorrow.

Kirk was probably bound for an off day today anyway because he usually rests the day game after starting a night game.

 

[the valiant effort]

“Work From Dome” day on Wednesday

…that’s some dystopian shit right there!

 

[shaner8989]

Lol get 5 hits and get sat. f***ing moron idiot pos. I can’t stand this f***. Can’t wait for him to be fired. Stupid f***.

Hes one of the only reasons to watch the team right now.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Ernie Clement! Boy has some pop!

 

[TGB]

Yeesh! A few weeks ago I was planning to post something saying Lukes, Santos, and Eisert would be called up in some capacity for September, but I walked away from my browser and lost the post. This might be my best year ever.

 

[Cloned]

This is the worst HP umpire I’ve seen in quite some time.

Balls are strikes and strikes are balls.

 

[Cloned]

Wonder what the umpire scorecard looked like for that half inning alone. Seems like he missed about 10 calls.

 

[Forgotusername]

That entire play was insane.

 

[Eyedea]

Right call for the baserunner to go back to 3B, but that was an insane almost-double play.

 

[canucksfan]

ridiculous catch

 

[stickty111]

That 8th inning callapse might have ended any small chance of playoffs. Difference between 6.5 out and 8.5 out.

Easier said than done but the Jays lost 4 winnable games; 2 vs Boston and 2 be Minny. Win those games and you’re 2.5 GBs from Minny for the last wildcard spot with maybe Bo and Romano coming back.

Big opportunity missed.

Back firmly on the tank train. Hoping we play solid games but lose at least 5 of the next 6 vs Philly and Atlanta.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Boy was this one tough to take.

 

[shaner8989]

Big loss. Keep us with a top 10 pick.

Clement
Horwitz
Wagner
Luperfido
Jiminez

All make the team alot more enjoyable.

Sure beats Turner, Kk, IKF etc

I would add Barger to that list.

100% I forgot to put his name there.

 

[Discoverer]

I would add Barger to that list.

Really hard to get a gauge on who he is as a player, but he's definitely fun to watch.

A mostly power-driven 126 wRC+ since his latest call-up. Plenty of flaws, but lots to like, too.

Agreed.

Looking back at last offseason, a lot of the alternative free agents the Jays could have been interested in i.e Soler, Hoskins, Jung Ho-Lee, Candelario etc are not looking like good deals either but those deals are all multi-year deals.

The jays getting a bunch of scrubs on 1-2 year deals and then selling them all off for prospects is looking like great business since it hasn’t handcuffed the team into 2025.

Payroll flexibility is a major win.

When you put it that way, maybe Atkins is a good GM? Seems like there indeed was a lot of mediocrity in terms available players. I still think they land either Soto or Santander. Vladdy luring those guys in also doesn’t hurt. I wouldn’t rule them out of Corbin Burnes either. The eatin is good this winter, so may as well eat.

 

[canucksfan]

Fourth outfielder dinger!

 

[canucksfan]

I’m loving these at bats and hard hit balls from the Jays.

 

[Discoverer]

The last six weeks or so have been super encouraging for the chances of retooling next year. So many guys are making the most of their auditions that it really makes it feel like they're not too far off.

 

[Eyedea]

Pay the man

 

[The Nemesis]

Pay the man

Why? He's a scrub who only showed up when the games didn't matter. How dare he have the audacity to get hot later in the season now instead of later in the season in other years or early in the season this year. If he was a winner he would've made himself do better when he needed to.

You know what he has to say to all these allegations?

Okay burger boy.
