Blue Jays GDT: Next: vs (not) Oak | Fri, May 30 | 7pm ET/4pm PT | Springs vs Bassitt

[Blitzkrug]

Don't even need to hit it deep. Just get the ball in the air and let Varsho fly.

 

[The Nemesis]

Offensive juggernaut Nathan Lukes cannot be stopped.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Let's goooooo. Made it tougher than they needed it to be but they still got the sweep.

The way the offense has been swinging maybe this is the turning point.

 

[MS]

Phew. That would have been a brutal game to lose.

Bullpen wrecked for tomorrow, though.

 

[robertmac43]

Fun game - fun series. Hopefully they can find some consistency as we get into the summer.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Never in doubt

How sweep it is. Above .500!

 

[Blitzkrug]

Would be a good time for one of those games where the offense pops off so the bullpen can put their feet up.

in before 3-HR game for Lukes.

 

[MK78]

Crap I didn't get to see the 10th and 11th, but it looks like it was a rollercoaster!

Good that they managed to rescue the win and the sweep.

 

[torontoblood]

Jays sweep the padres, one of the better teams in the national league!

The blue jays went 4-2 Against the AL-central division leading tigers and the Padres this week

Only five games behind the Yankees for 1st place in the AL East division

 

[trellaine201]

Wow. A sweep. Have to admit well done.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Underselling the sheer explosive power of Luke's tbh

Yariel, Hoffman, and Little are probably down. Everyone else should be good.

 

[MS]

Yariel, Hoffman, and Little are probably down. Everyone else should be good.

Urena also likely down after 35 pitches yesterday.

Assuming Lauer goes 4 innings, that leaves Green/Garcia/Fluharty/Little/Fisher to cover 5 innings so they can squeeze by ... but then they'll have all kinds of problems on Saturday as all of those guys threw today and I don't think you want any going 3 days in a row.

 

[Tw1ster]

The return of Varsho and the emergence of Barger and Lukes has turned this teams look around completely.

 

[Suntouchable13]

We're screwed for tomorrow. Who is gonna pitch? haha.

 

[The Nemesis]

Lukes. He does it all.

 

[tp71]

Who are these Blue Jays and what did they do with the old ones?

I wouldn't be surprised if they try to get a couple innings out of Urena to see if they can get 5 or 6 innings between him and Lauer again.

 

[CabanaBoy5]

I gotta admit, this team is showing a lot of heart. You have to have heart to overcome another blown save by Hoffman. Barger really looks good.

It's actually crazy we're above .500 when you consider how little the offseason acquisitions have provided :

- Santander and Gimenez both sub-.600 OPS
- Hoffman 6.04 ERA
- Scherzer 3 IP

Barger looks like a freaking All-Star on both sides of the field. He's the story of this season so far. Another 5 times on base today.

Possibly? It feels like it might be a bit of a stretch. But again, things are going to be very tight over the next couple days.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Lukes. He does it all.

But can he see why kids love cinnamon toast crunch?

Gimenez is so irrelevant he doesn't even make the list lmao.

Edit: I can't read.

 

[The Nemesis]

Probably. He also likely knows how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop.

Psst...
