Watching the Yankees game and holy shit are the fans on Donaldson. Stanton is batting horrendously

LeMahieu has been garbage as well. Dude's plate discipline has gone down the toilet with his K% doubled from last year. Volpe was overmatched in AAA last year, but they still rushed him to the big leagues.

This offense has nothing exciting outside of Judge and maybe Rizzo at times.

Edit: Guess I spoke too soon. Isiah Ohtani-Falefa just went yard after he pitched a scoreless inning lol

With the Yankees playing the Rangers and Astros playing the Dodgers, the Jays could be in a playoff spot after the weekend.

The offence could use Atheltics pitching to pad their stats and get them a little more back to normal. Market correction, if you will, but in a positive way.

The All Star voting is kind of a joke :laugh:
Bichette maybe, but Merrifield is a finalist for 2B starter?!

Bichette is 2nd amongst all AL position players in WAR and first in offensive WAR. Of course he's leading voting.

Semien is the runaway best 2B in the AL with Altuve injured most of the year, but when you look down the list it's an incredibly weak year at this position and Merrifield is legitimately in 2nd on merit.

Yeah, voting always ends up with a handful of stupid results, but the AL 2B voting is an indictment of the quality of 2B in the AL this year, not of the voting system.

Toronto Blue Jays' John Schneider encouraged by reports on Alek Manoah | TSN

TORONTO — There's no firm date for pitcher Alek Manoah's return to the Toronto Blue Jays starting rotation.

Manoah was demoted to the rookie-level Florida Complex League on June 6 after a poor start to the regular season. He has been making progress at the team's training facility in Dunedin, Fla., but won't return until he's ready, Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Friday afternoon.

"There's no date," Schneider told reporters when asked for an update on Manoah. "I think watching and seeing how he responds, how he does all those things with the strike throwing, with the delivery, with the pitches per inning. There's no real timeframe."

"Again, the whole thing is to do what's best for him. Whenever that time is, is when it will be."

The 25-year-old right-hander was sent down after going 1-7 with a 6.36 earned-run average over 13 starts. Schneider said Manoah has been asked to focus on his delivery and throwing strikes.

"Everything video-wise and report-wise has been really trending in the right direction," said Schneider. "But those are the two main things, just getting back to where he was."

..........

Manoah pitched five innings in a simulated game on Wednesday.

"It was 74 pitches, (velocity) was where it should be, up to 94 m.p.h.," said Schneider. "It was over 70 per cent strikes. Delivery looked pretty good. A lot of positive feedback."

Schneider said that Manoah is scheduled to have another official bullpen session and get at least one minor-league start, likely in one of the two Florida leagues, before returning to the Blue Jays rotation.

Given those requirements and with the fifth spot in Toronto's rotation only coming up once before the all-star break on July 11, it's unlikely that Manoah will return before the midsummer classic.

"It really will depend on how he's doing," said Schneider. "We told him from the get-go, we'll know when you're ready. You'll tell us when you're ready.

"It's not like anyone has circled a date on the calendar."
