Hey man, they’re the New York Yankees. They deserve these calls.

I know the Jays hate allowing their SPs to throw 100 pitches, but today is the day to do it

Bassitt needs to go out there for one more inning. He’s through the top of the order. Gotta earn that starting salary. No reason to pull him now.

Chad Green is gonna end up pitching in this game but it would be nice to try to delay that as late as possible

Something to note on bargers swing, looks like he uses the same technique as judge… coincidence?

Some of you are so absurdly dramatic.

This is his wRC+ over the past two full months of baseball:

May: 145 wRC+
June: 153 wRC+

You really don't need to dramatize every single ~4 game stretch over the course of the 163 game season where he isn't recording hits.

A new hitting coach can do wonders!

Apparently not so much for Vladdy.

Still not nearly good enough for a $500 million player. And I will continue to be dramatic about it, whether you like it or not.

I know there's some talk about getting a right-handed bat at the deadline, but the way this team is swinging it, I think we'd be wise to treat a hopefully healthy Santander as a mid-season addition.

Where this team needs the help is pitching. I would focus on the pen, and aim to add one - and preferably two - late inning arms.

“We could have gone forever. (Raptors management) kept knocking on the door and I was like, ‘A couple more minutes.’ Because we were really into it."
