    The Jays beat up on the Red Sox today. Love to see that
  2. dr. b
    You love to see it The Jays split a doubleheader with the Clevelands today, but they won the previous game so that’s a 2-1 series win. Prior to that, they took 2 of 3 from the Yankees. Just keep doing that please, Blue Jays!

    Little League kind of play from the Pirates

    They haven't had a shot at Detroit yet... not sure when they come up on the schedule, but those should be pretty winnable games. They also haven't played the Orioles yet this season. What is it, 18 or 19 games against each team in the same division? They had better win a bunch of their games against Baltimore. I'm sure the Yanks, Red Sox, and Rays will all rack up a bunch of wins against the Os. Jays gotta keep pace if they can.

    The Jays still haven’t had any games with the Orioles yet. A bunch of wins against Baltimore could help prop up their W-L record a bit. But the Yanks and Red Sox get to play them the same number of times too... Everybody in the AL should be able to feast on the Orioles and Tigers The Twins are surprisingly bad this year too.
  6. dr. b
    Next please talk about how good the Red Sox are. I'd like to see them go on a 10 game losing streak too

    DeGrom going to the 10 day IL. Hopefully he’s back on the mound before too long. The Jays’ young pitching stud, Nate Pearson, has been absolutely terrible in his first couple appearances this year. He’s spent very little time in the big leagues so far, but this is a trend that goes back to last season. He’s been fantastic in the minors, and in his recent AAA rehab appearance he struck out 8 of 11 batters, but it’s like he loses control of his stuff when he takes the big league mound. Must be a mental thing. I hope he figures that shit out this summer. He could be really good.

    Not very many quality bats in that Mariner lineup... a no hitter is still impressive though!

    That’s not a shocker to me. They had a good Spring (even though that’s often pretty meaningless) and they do have some talent on their roster. Not sure I’d be on them to finish the season in first place in the ALC... but it’s not a very strong division, so you never know!
  10. dr. b
    Yup I can’t believe my eyes seeing the Giants at the top of the AL West
  11. dr. b
    Stroman is off to a nice start for the Mets this year too. Even Taijuan Walker appears to be doing better than one could have expected given his spotty track record. I guess the problem for the Mets is that it takes more than three pitchers to form a starting rotation. Stats for the other two guys don’t look so hot. I wonder if Syndegaard will be back any time this summer..? It’s been over a year since his TJ surgery. They could really use him, though they will have to be quite cautious with how they pitch him if he can return this summer. Don’t want to re-injure that precious UCL.
  12. dr. b
    I don’t think the A’s will keep this up. But they have a knack for putting good teams together out of spare parts.
  13. dr. b
    The Ms might be bad when 162 games are over and done with, but they're on a nice little run to start the season! I hope it continues.
  14. dr. b
    Bellinger has hairline fracture in leg I better not say anything else about injuries, the Baseball Gods are listening
  15. dr. b
    Right now it feels like they could, but you never know what will happen. If they have players that miss time due to COVID protocols or injuries, then they could go on a losing skid at some point. But maybe losing a few players wouldn't even slow them down that much. That team is so stacked. I dunno, I wouldn't bet on it, but I also will not be surprised if they set a new record for regular season wins.
  16. dr. b
    Jays got rained out today too. Starting the season playing home games in Florida (without a dome) is going to lead to more than a few rain outs. I think it rains almost every afternoon down there this time of year. I hope they move north to Buffalo soon. I'm dreaming of them finally coming home to Toronto for home games by Canada Day (July 1st) but I think we're too far behind on vaccines to make that work... I can still dream though...

    The Blue Jay lineup finally broke out last night. 15-1 win 15 runs with zero homeruns is a bit odd in today's HR-crazy game, but I'll take runs however they can get them! The team drew 9 walks altogether, so they're showing a bit more patience at the plate. So many strikeouts in the previous games. I know almost everybody strikes out more these days, but they need to get that under control a bit more. Matz was good again last night. 6 IP, 4 K, only 1 run allowed despite giving up 3 BB and 5 hits. The one run was a solo HR.

    The CGSO is a somewhat rare things these days! Even just a regular old CG is not super common. The way pitchers are managed in the game has changed so much. The Jays hit a bit of a rough patch after taking 2-of-3 in New York and then beating Texas in their home opener. Their lineup ought to be able to score more runs. I'm hoping it's just a slow start... but every game counts when you're trying to get enough wins to get into the postseason.
  19. dr. b
    Jays won yesterday. Matz looked GREAT in his Blue Jay debut. 6.1 IP, 9 K, only 1 run allowed on 1 BB and 2 H. Toronto beat NYY in their Home Opener and then Texas. You love to see it! Speaking of NYY and Texas: NY to acquire Odor from Texas. Odor has been pretty bad the last couple season, and Texas DFA'd him to start this season despite still being owed quite a bit of $$$. You'd think they would have tried to get a bit more value out of him if they could. I guess they gave up hope on him. If he immediately turns into an All-Star after putting on the pinstripes, then I'm gonna be sick The dude has pretty easy HR power, that's never been in question, but if he figures out how to get on base regularly in NY and can still mash HRs then that's gonna be a problem...
  20. dr. b
    Loss yesterday but a win today for a 2-1 series win over NYY I'm surprised that today's starter (rookie TJ Zeuch) lasted 4 scoreless innings. Dude doesn't have swing-and-miss stuff so I figured he'd get shelled pitching to contact against the Yankee hitters. Vlad homered today, which is a great thing to see, and the bullpen was good again. We're off to a nice start here!

    Jays win 3-2, good start to the season!!!
  22. dr. b
    Nats/Mets Opening Day game postponed due to COVID-19. Welcome to baseball season!
  23. dr. b
    Mets extend Lindor https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2021/03/mets-to-extend-francisco-lindor.html 10 years, $341 million. With deferrals of $5 million / year so they won't actually be done paying him until 2041. That's a pretty big contact! Not the biggest ever, but it's certainly up there.
  24. dr. b
    Opening Day is tomorrow!!! Jays @ Yankees is the first game of the day I've seen a few different publications now predicting the Jays to finish 2nd in the AL East, around 90 wins, and being a Wild Card team. That is promising to see. Keith Law is predicting a Yankees/Dodgers World Series Also FWIW, Law has your Mets finishing 1st in the NL East, Garlic!
  25. dr. b
    Yeah it might be a rough summer for Seattle, but you never know! AL West isn't the strongest division in the league. I'm also 100% on-board the Dads bandwagon
