Blue Jays GDT: 2026 v9 | Next: vs HOU | Wed, Jun 24 | 7pm ET/4pm PT | Burrows vs Yesavage

[cyris]

Varland has been used a ton

I don’t care. Send out any other reliever. Hoffman can’t handle the pressure of the 9th

 

[LaP]

oh come on really

 

[red devil]

Varland is coming in for the 9th

 

[canucksfan]

Bats were awful with RISP

Bats were awful with RISP

At least they got the sac fly twice which is better than earlier in the season where they would have gotten nothing.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Thanks, Joey.

 

[LaP]

Thanks, Joey.

He's still a Jays in his heart

 

[Mr_Fun]

Back to .500.

Let's not say this again this year please.

 

[The Nemesis]

It surprises me to find out that Straw is from California, because I always figured he was from, like, Georga or Arkansas or something like that.

We can't, and we won't

Ain't all people from Arkansas cold blooded murderers? I swear when i was young 97% of all true crime episodes the killer was from the bible belt.

It's not like I had any proof that Straw doesn't have a murder-basement with drawers full of human skin.

To be fair he was raised in Bradenton, FL, which earns the nickname Bradentucky for good reason.

Jays are one game ahead in the WC.

One thing that worries me is Varland. He has pitched a lot, and he needs some rest.

We lose the next one then lose more games than win for the rest of the season.

All the more reason to get Chapmon now before someone else nabs him. We can't be wearing Varland down as we have used him alot already, I agree.

 

[Flip The Bird]

I think with Bieber, we shouldn't look at him as a Cy Young caliber pitcher. Just because he won one in a COVID shortened season, doesn't mean we should view him as a legit ace. He is probably more like a #2 or #3. And that's ok.

If Bieber is even as good as a #2 or 3 give us one of best starting pitching in baseball. With Y, Cease and Gausman.

That and Okamoto heating up Jays could have second half like last season. Okamoto on pace for 35 homers.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Note that today's game is at 4pm ET

How long will Chapman last? He’s 38, velo dropped almost 2mph from last season, and we may have just killed him as that’s now back to back appearances with runs given up/loss taken.

 

[dredeye]

If only Vlad to get going this season could really start to self correct. Given the guys that are coming back can also come in, contribute and stay healthy. It's going to be real interesting to see how they manage the roster

He's on a one-year deal at 13.3 for the season. Aah, just realized he's got a vesting option for next year at the same salary that kicks in if he hits 40 innings this year, which is a given. He'd easily be our best left-handed option out of the bullpen. He might be slipping, but having him, Rogers, and Varland would give us more options for high-leverage roles. Also moves Hoffman down the pole even more, which can only help.

I think a better left handed option is Tiedemann. If he’s healthy he could take over as the best lefty option out of the pen.

Health is a major concern with him. However, if he is healthy, he definitely would be an option instead.

Definitely. The organization should know in the next month how is health is.
