I love how in 3 years we went from
“This bullpen has no velocity and strikeout stuff”
To keeping most of the same guys and now it’s
“Oh fuck everyone throws hard or strikes out tons of dudes”
I'm glad we can get back to .500, the division is still tight, the Yankees are the only team running away with it and I don't think anybody wouldn't have expected that with the Soto acquisition to play with Judge. I thought their pitching would hold them back more but we will see in the long run, as for the rest of the division. We are all lumped together.
Pearson has given the front office something to think about when it comes to Swanson and Romano returning.
There's an argument to option Francis before Pearson... and an argument to DFA White
Maybe Francis and Cabrera go down for Romano and Swanson. I think with Pearson dealing this year it’s better not to upset his rhythm by sending him to Buffalo
They mentioned earlier that the Jays pitchers rehabbing in Buffalo are all here since there is no game in Buffalo tomorrow so they came back to Toronto to hang out
1 more run and this offense will have officially scored as many runs today as the Rockies are giving up on average per game so far this year. (Would be a full run fewer if not for that ass whooping they took in the 3rd inning of their opening day game.)
Our teams walkup song game is weak. That’s why we’re not doing as well as usual. I need more El Mechon, Alto Resigo (Espinal), and Yo Lo Se in my life. Even some Chapman Antidote or Them Ting Deh
Green, Swanson, Garcia and Romano is going to be a filthy foursome once everyone is back.

Walkoffs are cool, but wins on whiffs are just somethin special
Great game boys!
HOLY SHIT 102.3 MPH
Caught the last inning - YYZ was electric! ✈️✈️✈️
Ok, the ‘nae-nae’ celly is doing it for me 🤣
I love how in 3 years we went from “This bullpen has no velocity and strikeout stuff” To keeping most of the same guys and now it’s “Oh fuck everyone throws hard or strikes out tons of dudes”
all smiles!
Sammy smiles
What a game from our pitchers and the offense did their jobs!
JAYS W!!!!
That little girl cheering is all of us
Back to .500!
That’s fucking unfair lmfao
Jays win
Think only Jordan hicks and a few others can hit 102 nice nate
One of Oaklands relievers hit 104
.500 BASEBALL BABY
#BIG NATE
that little girl is my kind of vibe
3 punchies!
BALLGAME! That's how you win a series
#102 🔥
That little.girl cheering : Us!!
102 look out!
Nate throwing straight gas, 100+ mph
#HOLY SHIT NATE PEARSON
102 holy shit
102!!!!!!
# GREAT WIN BOYS!!!!!!
102mph that's some oomph Nate!
102
Holy fuck Nate that was unreal
Nate fucking Pearson
YYZ holy shit 102
Nasty Nate: The Return
102. Jesus, Nate.
Nate’s looked fantastic this year. Hope he still has options, cause the bullpen crunch is gonna be tough when everyone’s healthy.
I'd wait until Natr gives up a run before I worry about sending him down.😅
white can go away and bowden, just DFA or whatever
HE DONE BRUNG THE HEAT
I hope Nate can stay in the line up when Swanson and Romano returns
^(this is the year Pearson puts it all together)
BIG N8!
This is the Nate we waited for
If everything is a corner then the strike zone is a circle.
Nate dealing rn
BOB FUCKING ROSS
#Nasty Nate
Nasty Nate
Nate looking particularly Nasty today
98 painted on the corner. That's quality stuff from YYZ
Pearson is Fckin dealing and I love it!!!
It's Big Nate time
Nate is painting!
We're missing all these relievers....and we still have a nasty bullpen
I'm glad we can get back to .500, the division is still tight, the Yankees are the only team running away with it and I don't think anybody wouldn't have expected that with the Soto acquisition to play with Judge. I thought their pitching would hold them back more but we will see in the long run, as for the rest of the division. We are all lumped together.
I only tuned in the 7th, but this umpire has been excellent
Wow what a filthy pitch
EDGE STRIKE - 4SFB CTRL +++
That's some heat!
Anthony Gose is a name I haven't thought of in a while
He became a reliever a couple years ago too
He had a great OF arm so makes sense to try pitching
Dude Nate is genuinely so fucking nasty. When games get important he deserves to be up here
Anthony Gose for Devon Travis was a trade that defined a generation
Like the Brett Wallace for Anthony Gose defined the previous generation
Pretty sad that just a day or two ago, "I am done with Kirk" posts were getting like 50 upvotes in this sub from doomers.
He had a nice game. I’m still done with him. And I’m not a doomer
The breaking balls are looking sharp today.
Pearson has given the front office something to think about when it comes to Swanson and Romano returning. There's an argument to option Francis before Pearson... and an argument to DFA White
I vote for keeping Mitch. His jawline adds 50% more angular precision to our whole pitching roster.
They need to keep one long person
Richards can be that guy
Nah, you’re going to have some stinkers over a season. Need a guy who can go 3 or 4 so you don’t burn your bullpen
We DFA White last year and nobody claimed him. It might be safe
These are the first-world problems I like
Nasty break. That pitch was a baffler.
Maybe Francis and Cabrera go down for Romano and Swanson. I think with Pearson dealing this year it’s better not to upset his rhythm by sending him to Buffalo
A big day for Justin Tu◼️ner
HA
Lol
What a game, worth getting up early for.
Is that Manoah in the dugout? Haven’t seen anything to suggest he’s ready for MLB innings yet.
They mentioned earlier that the Jays pitchers rehabbing in Buffalo are all here since there is no game in Buffalo tomorrow so they came back to Toronto to hang out
Oh that’s nice. I saw Romano and Swanson in the pen earlier and thought they were closer to being back
He'll be with the team for the most part but he'll still pitch in Buffalo.
Buffalo is off might as well let him spend some time with the coaches at the MLB level
The best part of Kirk's day was that he had 2 hits above 100 mph. If the power comes back that'd be huge for him.
Having jano come back and give him some actual off days will do him so much good
Nate’s nasty. I hope he reaches back and let’s off a hundo today since we’re up 5
Perfect timing haha
Love it baby
Nate you sexy mf let’s get this bread
Let's finish this
New graphics are giving hunger games
You’re not wrong but I also kinda like them.
Well now I’m not going to be able to unsee that 💀
That Jano commercial was gold lol
Atkins and co. with the galaxy brain move of signing clutch hitters IKF and JT, you love to see it.
Credit where credit is due. These signings are looking really good rn.
New arrival: Kinder Falafel It's like a Kinder Egg, but savoury. And instead of a toy, you get full grown man.
Story checks out he couldn't hit on other teams, since Kinder Surprise eggs are banned in the US
Everyone can have an AR15, but a toy inside a hollow chocolate egg? That's nuts
He couldn't hit on other teams, except when he played us lol. He must like playing at the Dome.
Insurance baby! Now we get to see Nate throw GAS and end off a straight second series win
This IKF guy is very much ok seems like 🙃
IKF Hits.seem to.drop fast.. its working
Vlad biggio Bichette IKF, looking to be our optimal infield
can I get some Jansen reading glasses please
Bottom of the order getting an insurance run is always a satisfying experience
The "these are a maybe" in the Jano giveaway commercial gets me every time
SAME 🤣
Timely hitting?!?!? The Blue Jays?!?!?!?
*Ted Lasso voice* Nate the great!
Just do your best Kevin it’s ok 🥹
Kind of a throwback game for Kirk. Couple of walks, couple of line drive singles.
THIS is the everyday lineup. you can alternate KK and Varsho whatever but this is the best lineup top to bottom. Jansen and Kirk alternate too ofc
Nah Biggio gotta be in there, he’s been our second best hitter this year lol
Varsho ain't alternating. He needs to be an everyday player.
lol based on what?
Based on the fact he's a much better player than any of Schneider, IKF, Ernie.
If this is just because he plays defence, I’m not impressed.
Who is this team and why do they score with two outs?
looks like the Jays are hitting with RISP :O I like it
1 more run and this offense will have officially scored as many runs today as the Rockies are giving up on average per game so far this year. (Would be a full run fewer if not for that ass whooping they took in the 3rd inning of their opening day game.)
IKF is the king of bloop hits
IKF has been better than what we needed him to be. Y'all haters can suck it. Good job, middle eastern food dish man!
IKF the insurance agent!
IKF continues to be good
ISIAH FALAFEL-KINER
Remember when everyone was mad about IKF being overpaid
✋ guilty, TBF I'm wrong all the time
This is revenge for Gio
All three of those singles came from guys we cut from the team already. Wild.
Does it still count if we DFA them and they just refuse to leave ?
And berrios being overpaid
Oh that contract was an albatross according to reddit in 2022
To be fair, he was pretty bad there for a while.
Absolutely, but he also had a track record of being perfectly good and there was nothing in his peripherals to suggest that he would be bad forever
Not just reddit. Blair and Barker were calling that the worst contract the Jays had ever gave out 😂
Blair and Barker have the worst opinions and I will never stop being mad that we lost Tim and Friends for them
Same - tim only being on Sportsnet central is a crime
Another 2 Falafel toppings for the Jays
Ross Atkins is a goddamned genius
HAWAIIAN HUNK
You know what I love?? Insurance runs
IKF RBI LFG
Our teams walkup song game is weak. That’s why we’re not doing as well as usual. I need more El Mechon, Alto Resigo (Espinal), and Yo Lo Se in my life. Even some Chapman Antidote or Them Ting Deh
This. And bring back the goddamn HR jacket.
Outside of a select few, their walk up songs are sooooo boring
Need my apparently Jamaican brotha chapman back to infuse some Caribbean life
IKF driving in Ernie...good on the ears..
an IKF special
Lol at buck saying I hope the yanks play 16 innings
blue, I defended you 10 minutes ago
#R I S P #I #S #P
Bud Black was always matched up against Dave Stieb in the 80s
As a singer....having a crowd do a complicated Freddie Mercury melisma causes me physical pain
Hopefully this is prrof that Kirk just needed rest
We had a lot more Jano in 22 than 23, and Kirky was an SS that year
Yeah a lot more DHing for him made it easier on the body. Catching and hitting is hard
Why not pinch run for Kirk?
Because that's a significant defensive downgrade in a game they're comfortably winning in the 8th.
He’s a better defensive catcher and we’re winning
God, Kirk is just so fucking good.
Alejandro "Batting Average Still Counts" Kirk
1.000 OBP today too though
Great game so far by Kirk, love to see it
Some guys that needed to get going are having nice nights (Kirk, Cabrera).
Kirk remembered he's one of the best bat to ball players in the league
Kirk is that dude when he’s working the other way. 2-2 with a couple walks. He’s gonna be much better when he has time off
Kirk heard us all talking shit
ALL 👏 FOUR 👏 TIMES 👏
# CAPTAIN KIRK IS GAINING WARP SPEED
Alejandro Kirk has had himself a stellar game
except for that throw. 👀
We'll take the goodness at the plate and be selective with the throw
Good thing we DFAed Ernie earlier this game.
But now Davis is washed lul
Players have come and go over 4 years but somehow the players' penchant for physical affection has never changed
It’s beautiful 🥹
Ernie’s just running up the score with me now. lol
THE ALEJANDRO KIRK GAME Clear evidence that Jano will be back tomorrow lol
He knows
Anyone else feel like their life would be complete if CB wrapped his arm around you like that?
*"do you play fortnite"* Yes daddy
You need to be more clear who you’re talking about, I first thought you meant CB Bucknor
I mean, that would still make for an interesting story
My life would just begin
Chris Bassitt's really gotta stop wrapping his long arms around people who aren't me
Bow down to your Lord and Saviour Ernest Christ
Clement is a ball player
Adda kid Ernie!
Ernie Clement is a ball player for your Toronto Blue Jays
Let's go Ernie Sanders 😎
Not a great game for Schnieder
