[Heyman] While there’s no word the Yankees are officially out on Juan Soto it’s clear they aren’t currently at the forefront of those talks. So it makes sense they jumped on Andrew Benintendi. SD, STL, LAD and TEX, perhaps due to better prospect matches, seem more involved in Soto talks.

Fun fact; fuck the bullpen, if the manager isn’t constantly trying to get cute running Bradley Zimmer and his “elite” defence(because Jays fans can’t look on baseball savant to see what an actual elite CF looks like) we might not have wasted 2 on 0 out by having Raimel Tapia hit lefty lefty because we had to cover for the scrub who was put in the lineup to shag fly balls for literally 0 reason despite the fact the guy he replaced is perfectly capable of doing that.
Agreed, that was a bad move.
Ross Atkins fired if we don’t win the world series
Then he should just be fired now, no fucking way this Jays team is getting a sniff of a World Series.
Don't try to put a silk head on a pig.
Bass & Garcia should have swapped where they pitched.
We’re in trouble. And it’s entirely on Shapiro and Atkins. This team is worse than when they took over and tired of hearing about the AA hate of cleaning the cupboards. We have worse prospects than when AA was GM.
I disagree. The 2021 team was damn good.
I went looking for a Zimmer highlight real. Came up empty
He had a diving catch in Chicago, I think
JBJ could replace Otto Lopez for now.
At this point, I'd rather Thornton start a game over Kikuchi.
That game is a good reminder that just because we've held a playoff position all year, the postseason is by no means a lock. We need to find some consistency and trotting out Kikuchi every 5th day is not gonna help with that
The 2021 Jays were way scarier to face.
How many pitches will Bo see?
Kikuchi Thornton Richards has to be the shittiest trio imagineable
Yep, checks out.
What are the chances of Merrifield & Merryweather being on the active roster together?
Oh god, when will there be robot umpires for real?
Shouldn't we have an inning eater out there?
I think Garcia was warming up when it was 3-2, he was ready so may as well use him.
If this is a typical Rays\Jays game, the bullpen will cough up another run this inning to make the 9th, near impossible.
Vladdy, the modern day Tony Gwynn
If this were a Jay's bullpen day, a shitty hitting team like this current Rays team would have run up the score.
August 2024, Toronto Blue Jays complete trade for stud reliever Jeremy Beasley from Pittsburgh for their #4 prospect.
Any chance we trade for ohtani!?
A non-zero chance perhaps
Were lucky it went into the ground first.
JA Happ got hit in the head with a come-backer. His knee was more damaged as he collapsed.
Welp, the 'big bats' just aren't into it tonight.
This game is the Jays season in a nutshell.
This is the worst start that Manoah has had this season.
3 runs over 5 innings is not great, but it's not a disaster.
If Gallo is released or made available (for pennies on the dollar), should the Jays take a flier?
Great win. Let’s hope they give Springer the week off.
Soto will fill in for him I guess.
4-out save on 10 pitches?
Wasted effort, he should have done it on 4 pitches.
Wheeew closer than it should have been, but I'll take it.
Do the Yankees, trade or DFA Gallo ?
Stop trying to make fletch Richards happen!
I know it's how scoring is done, but the inherited runners should all be charged to Richards. He throws a meatball with 2 on, he deserves the earned runs, not Gausman.
I've petitioned (to deaf ears) for earned runs to be split.
That seem more rational. The pitcher leaving has no control over how good (or bad) the next pitcher is.
Anyway, at least we split the series.
Cards are a tough team, but again with 2 of their best players not here - it feels like a lost opportunity.
So is this a going away present to Pujols?
I’m doing the plane in my living room like Springer and I look like an idiot
Dance like no one is watching - right?
BEASLEY THANKING THE LORD HE’S A MAJOR LEAGUER FOR ANOTHER DAY
He may get sent to the taxi squad for a fresh arm.
Why didn't Charlie tell them to do this ?
This will pad the run differential
So does this make the Jays sellers at the trade deadline?
It's funny you say that because Vladdy has been having a better season so far than the one you're referring to in the video (Albeit in 31 more games).
Yeah, I was referring to his general approach and body language. He looks out of sorts this season. Of course the number 1 rule of this forum is to never question the performance of one of the Blue Jays golden boys.
There's nothing wrong with questioning it but to say he's like a shadow of his former self while he has performed better than the example you're referencing can come off as a bit of an overreaction rather than simply being critical.
Fair point
This is the game right here.
We’re in the 4th inning and people are calling us feast or Famine offence ? It’s just like do people expect us to score every inning of every game ?
It's from previous observations. When the 2022 team gets behind, it's rare that they mount a comeback. The 2021 team was never (ok, almost never) out of a game.
Trevor Richards leads our relief pitchers (qualified) with 11.23 Ks/9
Who needs relief pitching then?
if Schneider takes out Manoah hes an idiot
IDK, it's a long season and it's better to manage his load.
This is the point at which Shatkins decides to become sellers at the deadline
Too much invested and now the target is on his back.
Guys..the trailer is usually the best parts of the movie...
Good observation. When it's a bad movie, the trailer has the only good parts to suck in the audience.
When the Sox or Rays lose to bottom dwellers, they put up a much better fight.
Back to reality, good night all. See y'all for more pain tomorrow.
This team needs more than a manager change, it need a culture change.
If we get a sweep here we are going to be back in a very good spot
It looks like it's between the Jays, Rays, Bosox, M's. Kind of like last season.
I’ve seen this story before and it’s best not to underestimate a bunch of minor leaguers with a chance to prove themselves.
I just hope for the Jays to win the series regardless of the score.
