Yikes. Really doesn’t look anything like him. Wouldn’t have known that was George Costanza without being told.

I'll be going to Seattle to take in the Blue Jays series July 5-7.

Hopefully they're not mathematically eliminated by then.

Looks like they dropped about 60 lbs from the real George. How flattering.

I think the Mariners should still be in the hunt then.

Not far from the truth.

Pete Rose on Shohei Ohtani betting scandal: ‘Wish I’d have had an interpreter’​

 

[HockeyGuy1964]

Good start. Offense looked good in an 8-2 win.
Berrios looked good after giving up a HR to Yandy Diaz, the leadoff batter.
Vladdy hit a 450 foot no doubter that the center fielder just turned & watched.
It was a good day.

What would actually be hilarious is if “Ohtani” meant “rose” in Japanese.

That was a bomb by Guerrero. Didn’t he hit his first homer something like 14 games in last season?

What I found interesting about this game is that the pitch clock wasn’t a factor or even mentioned once today. It’s taken a year for the players to adjust but at least it appears they have. What a shit show that was during opening week especially last year and an issue all season really where you couldn’t help but wonder if some players were capable of adjusting.

 

[Stoneman89]

Tables turned. Ouch!

 

[GOilers88]

Almost streamed Kikuchi today.

Fool me 5 times, can't get fooled again Kuch!

Fully expecting Jays win now, haha.

And didn't they cut down the time even a little more this year?

WTF?? I don't get it, but the guy obviously likes sucking on weiners.

Atkins signed 38 year old Justin Turner as the solution to the Jays offensive woes. Hitting a glorious .100 so far.

Meanwhile Cashman actually went out and did something with Soto and he’s hitting .500 with a 1.261 OPS so far.

Very small sample size but I’d be surprised if the results change too drastically by game 162.

Yah, but is either of them better at sucking a wiener than that fan?

 

[Cloned]

Yah, but which one is better at wiener sucking?

Atkins sucks at most GM duties so probably him.

Batting averages in the first 20 games aren’t all that relevant but your concerns are valid.

Was wondering how long it would take for someone to come along and remind us it’s early in the season and these guys will start hitting soon. 3 games, lol. Much quicker than last year. I don’t think there’s a lot of pop in this lineup outside of Springer, Guerrero and Bichette and as we saw last year if all 3 of those guys aren’t having big years that offence doesn’t score much.
It sure would be nice having Moreno in this lineup today. Jansen seems to be hurt all the time and Kirk just isn’t good enough to be more than a back up. I hate to beat a dead horse but I’d sure love to know what the Jays brain trust saw in Varsho to think he was worth dealing Moreno for. There’s no shortage of valid reasons to fire Atkins but that’s the unforgivable one for me.

This is an old video. They’ve been showing it for years on highlight packages. Still funny though.

Oh I’m concerned but I can’t get excited about batting averages in either direction with such a tiny sample size, you can move averages by hundreds of points a day right now.

You are correct that if Springer, Guerrero and Bichette aren’t rolling this team is probably dead. Feels like the oilers just an unbalanced lineup poorly constructed outside the top guys. I also really can’t argue the Moreno situation, turned the top prospect in baseball into a nothing burger.

Soho is going to hopefully be everything that Cashman thought Stanton would be. As in, anything but a complete super expensive and long term bust.

At least Cashman keeps trying to improve the roster. Mistakes might be made but the effort is always there.

Atkins seems content to build a mid roster.

Corrected for you. It's early. Only 159 more games to really find out.
