Home plate ump has been outstanding.

Oh my gosh, can't be mad about any of Kirk's outs tonight.

6 run lead is a good spot for Chad Green. Can give up as many HRs as he wants.

Jays should petition mlb to see if they could play the A's all the time.

I remember last year when some Jays fans thought Barger was not an everyday player, man things have changed. The more he plays the better he gets.

Always gotta stick with the pre-game set starter strategy no matter how good or bad the pitcher is doing. Fisher shouldn’t have even come out for that 2nd inning.

Can't believe they are running Fisher + Lucas out there and expecting to win. Fisher has been good so far (prior to today), but Lucas was bad after his first two starts and in the minors.

Easton Lucas sucks. Did they really not have another option to bring up

Can we just call-up Trey Yesavage and see what happens.

What's the over/under for the game 20.5 runs?

Barger is exciting to watch, if everything breaks right he has 5 tool player upside. The results are starting to catch up to the metrics.

A product of Lauer pitching 3.1 a couple of days ago (and going back even further, releasing Yarbrough for absolutely no reason at all a day before the season).

Wasn’t sure he could be good enough defensively to play third as a regular but the arm is incredible.

Last season was shaky but he looks really good there this year

A serious injury to Varsho would be pretty devastating, especially with Santander also injured

Playing the As, the best elixir to get an offense going

What the **** is wrong with Hoffman.

Boogie! · Post #39 » by **Boogie!** » Sat May 31, 2025 9:43 pm

Hoffman is melting down… do we need a new closer?

He should have been out of that role a while ago.
