Baseball is hilarious. Every season there's a few players that I've never heard of come up from the prospect ranks. Rodin and Fluharty were guys I've never noticed on prospect lists. Davis Schneider might as well not have existed prior to showing up and demolishing the Red Sox.

POSITION PLAYER PITCHING ALERT!!!!

 

[Vector]

COME ON! I WANT TO SEE A POSITIVE RUN DIFFERENTIAL BY THE END OF THE GAME!

 

[The Nemesis]

Philly sure waited a long time to put out their best reliever.

Yeah and Vladdy couldn't even keep his on base streak against that scrub.

Roden and Fluharty were two guys being talked about a lot here that’s for sure. I’ve been high on them since the start. Schneider was a guy that kinda came out of nowhere but just produced well enough at every level to eventually get to the bigs and carve out a career. He really did a 180 post-covid lockout on the brink of retirement. Will Robertson might be another guy to get a cup of coffee up in the bigs shortly.

Even Lukes, who I wasn’t really a fan of, paid his dues for almost a decade before finally getting the call. It’s always great to see hard work pay off. Normally that’s more attainable on the pitching front as a reliever.

The Bluejays are now in a playoff spot.

 

[trellaine201]

Nice to see Swanson pitch an inning. I hope he can really contribute.

 

[phillipmike]

I didnt have the Jays taking 2 of 3 vs the Phillies. Huge series vs the Twins coming up. Need to get 2 of 3 there.

They're one game out of third overall in the AL. It's so bunched up beyond the Yankees and Tigers.

Be difficult with a bullpen game vs ober and francis vs joe ryan. Maybe the offense will hit lije today and surprise us

Looks like Gausman vs Ober, BP vs Ryan, and Francis vs Lopez

Ober hasn't been his dominant self this year, so tomorrow is the game to get and then pray for the other two mismatches. The Jays haven't exactly been great on the road this year for whatever reason

 

[Blitzkrug]

missed the game since i had stuff to do this afternoon. Good stuff.

 

[canucksfan]

I was pissed when they didn't go out and get a backup catcher, but Heineman has been fantastic.

And it's still early, but Kirk is showing absolutely no signs of being impacted by the increased workload.

I was clearly looking at the wrong list and forgot about Lopez's injury lol

Schultz/bp vs Ober
Gausman vs Paddack
Francis vs Ryan

Chris Paddack is still in the majors? That dude hasn't been anything since 2019.

Royce Loweis hitting .139 but it’s against the Jays so of course he immediately scorches a double.

I hate playing the Twins almost as much as playing the Rays.

Guardians too.

Barger Bomb!

 

[Tw1ster]

Barger is my favorite Blue Jay, there I said it

When they they said he had a 32 AB stretch without a hit my first thought was he'll hit a HR.

 

[MS]

Sometimes I wonder about the accuracy of the Statcast stuff - that Barger homer looked a lot longer than 385 feet. Cleared the whole first section of seats and landed in a foyer.
