Genesis Cabrera has been awesome. Bout time we get one of those random waiver arms and they end up being lights out loll

Tommy Pham looks like he's getting traded. Let's hope.

Jays may want to get to trading for a RP if Jay Jackson with his hanging slider is gonna be pitching tie games in the 8th inning for this team.

What an adventure in the outfield this inning - hopefully we get away with it.

Jay Jackson is the truth lol

Good stuff. Can't lose to a person named Trey Cabbage.

This team's offense (scoring only 1 run through 8 innings today) leaves no margin for error for its starters and relievers. It might work against the Angels, but not against much better hitting teams like the Orioles and Red Sox coming up this week.

The Angels have had a better offense than the Orioles or Red Sox on the year, by every metric.

A bit scary to see a 35 year old journeyman in high leverage, but based on stats the 4 games he has pitched in them he has delivered (Opp hitting 1-12)

Jansen home run here would be fun

Unless this is the NBA replay officials, he will be called safe.

After years of jealously watching the Rays get dominant performances from a bunch of guys whose most recent experience was as Wal-Mart greeters, it's gratifying that it's our turn.

Good baserunning? By these BlueJays?!

It's more likely than you think

Why are we letting Espinal hit

Madvillainy2004 · Post #255 » by **Madvillainy2004** » Sun Jul 30, 2023 6:38 pm

Espinal would be great at doing groundball practice.

It's either him or Luplow in that spot both are not good lmao

Bench consists of two lefties in Belt and Kiermaier, and Jordan Luplow. Could perhaps have used Luplow and shifted Merrifield to 2B, but there wasn't really a good option in that spot.

This is a much different team with no Mike Trout, and with a couple of other injured players like Brandon Drury and Anthony Rendon for the past several weeks. The numbers point that out.

Would be cool to see Springer make history #ChasingChrisDavis
