Vlad hot streak is over, MVP Varsho is taking the WAR lead back by year’s end

A rarity to see Varsho get two hits in a game. Definitely on fire, and a tremendous feat by him. However, another hitless game for the Top 5 Catcher Kirk. Zero hits the past three days against the Powerhouse Oakland A's pitching staff by the "Power" bat of Kirk. Maybe he needs more proper load management and rest his for his out of shape body.

Jesus Christ would you **** **** shut the **** up.
9. Similarly, IF THOU HAST SPENT the entire offseason predicting that thy team will stink, thou shalt not gloat, nor even be happy, shouldst thou turn out to be correct. Realistic analysis is fine, but be a fan first, a smug smarty-pants second.

Blue Jays' Bassitt says closed roof contributed to poor start - Sportsnet.ca

Chris Bassitt had one of his worst outings of the season on Sunday but the veteran right-hander has a theory for why things went south.

Speaking to reporters after the loss to the Oakland A's, Bassitt said his pitches were affected by the closed roof at the Rogers Centre.

"Roof closed, completely different than roof being open, wasn't really ready for it," Bassitt said. "I had to completely change my mechanics to kinda get the movement I wanted."


Bassitt allowed seven runs on eight hits over four innings against his former team, but six of those runs came in the first inning when Oakland sent 11 batters to the plate.

It's the second time in his last three starts that Bassitt has only lasted four innings. His worst start of the season came in April, when he also allowed seven runs and was pulled after 2.2 innings against the Dodgers.

For the season, Bassitt has a 4.30 ERA in 24 starts.

So just because he went hitless for one game, his hot streak is over? Credit to Vlad for mashing the way he has the past two months, with the scrubs he has all over the lineup and without any proper protection. Imagine if he had a guy like Judge or Soto behind him or in front of him in the lineup, compared to the scrubs he normally has. Guy has been the only few bright spots in this dreadful year.
