Toronto Blue Yays! (50-41) vs Arizona Diamond-Bahs! (52-39) July 14-16 

Post#1 » by Parataxis » Wed Jul 12, 2023 1:17 pm

Featuring the Return of our prodigal All-star, Lourdes Gurriel Junior, and our no-longer catcher-of-the-future, Gabriel Moreno. Varsho's first opportunity against his old team.

Will this be another case of 'Hot non AL East team gets crushed by the Blue Jays? Or have we looked into the mirror and met our match?

All starting pitchers to be announced.

Curious change in the order of the rotation. Do they think that kikuchi’s stuff will play better following Gausman?

Stupid Diamondbacks runners failed to capitalize on that Bichette error.

What's the point of stealing 3rd with two outs.

Cant believe we traded away Moreno for the corpse of Daulton Varsho. Yikes!

Man oh man. What monumental failures Belt and Varasho have ended up being.

Belt - .246/ 6 HR / 20 RBI with a .785 OPS

Varsho - .214/ 12 HR/ 30 RBI with a .645 OPS

And these are the guys we have protecting Vladdy this year? No wonder hes having such a meager, below average season himself.

I still dont see what Shatkins sees in these guys or why they felt they needed to trade a top prospect for either of them. Id rather watch an exciting young prospect like Moreno grow and develop than watch another garbage at bat from Belt and Varsho.

Please for the love of god get these trash brothers (Shatkins) out of Toronto ASAP! Meanwhile AA has built one of the all time best teams over in Atlanta. Like wtf is going on with this organization? Are we trying our best to become the next Maple Leafs?

Seemed to step on the seam of the infield cut out, just as he was feeling that ball…

Belt isn't quite a failure... pretty average hitter not sure why he's being lumped in with varsho.
