Best run differentials in the American League:
1. Yankees +127 (lmao)
2. Astros +43
3. Red Sox +40
4. Blue Jays +34
5. Cleveland +33
6. Minnesota +25
7. Tampa Bay +22
If the Blue Jays somehow end up signing Ohtani and him looking up to Kikuchi in high school is factor ...
You have to put Kikuchi on the all-time unsung heroes of Toronto sports
A friendly reminder that Alejandro Kirk received over 1.8 million votes to start in the ASG
I think he's doing just fine and plenty of folks are very happy with him just the way he is
The Gabby Moreno playoff breakout is too on the nose with the narrative surrounding the Blue Jays right now
Almost too predictable he’s raking in big moments
I'm curious, if the Blue Jays were to sign Ohtani
Would you go to significantly more games? Buy Ohtani merch?
Would you sign up for spending more money on the team if it meant signing a baseball unicorn?
You traded your top prospect and another solid player for a hitter you removed with the bases loaded for Ernie Clement?
Just making sure I have this right
Even in an up and down year, Bo Bichette still led the American League in hits for the 2nd straight season
Also top 10 in the AL in runs scored and RBI.
#good
Anthony Bass has already made 10 appearances since the
#BlueJays
made that deal
9 innings, 4 hits, 1 earned run, 9 strikeouts and 3 walks
A 1.00 ERA, .133 opponent batting average and a 0.78 WHIP
Absolute workhorse so far
Jordan Romano's numbers at the Rogers Centre are mesmerizing
3-0, 21/21 saves, 0.31 ERA, 29 strikeouts in 29 innings
It's must-see TV every time he takes the ball at home
Source confirms: Giants acquire LHP Robbie Ray from Mariners for OF Mitch Haniger and RHP Anthony DeSclafani. Mariners also working on second trade with Rays, one involving an exchange of major-league position players. First on Giants deal:

Alek Manoah's made 31 starts in his career, which is about what you'd see over a full season.
He's 16-3 with a 2.68 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 188 strikeouts in 181.1 innings.
Quickly become one of the most beloved athletes in Toronto too.
Vladdy has 1 HR in his last 22 games
Springer has 1 HR in his last 27 games
Would be awfully helpful if one or both rediscovered their power in this stretch run!
This Chapman deal really caps off a brutal offseason for the Jays. Cherry on top. Even if we acknowledge he's a far from perfect player, this is still a deal they should have tried hard to do.
Yusei Kikuchi's season has to be one of the most unexpected rebounds in Blue Jays history
He cut his walk rate in half from 2022, lowered his ERA by more than a run and was worth 2.6 wins above replacement after -0.8 last year
Bravo
Keep in mind Matt Chapman has a career 16.6% HR/FB rate playing in the AL West and 1/2 his games at the Oakland Coliseum.
He's going to put baseballs into orbit in the AL East and at The Dome.
Cavan Biggio since returning at the end of May.
.963 OPS, 20% walk rate, 13 extra-base hits, 1.3 WAR
Also looking strong defensively.
Unreal turnaround after a rough start!
Your
#8
hitter drawing a 2-out walk, followed by your
#9
hitter massacring a ball into the gap to take the lead.
Good luck pitching to this damn lineup for 162 lol
Patiently waiting for when the 1st Jays playoff game will be on Friday so we can get outraged if it's at 4 PM or earlier.
One of my favourite traditions!
Can't think of an athlete that was as universally disliked as a player by a fanbase become that beloved after joining that team.
Kiermaier doing everything on/off the field to fit in as a member of the
#BlueJays
Yoshinobu Yamamoto wants to play with other Japanese players, his agent told the Japanese media.
He plans to make his decision after the Winter Meetings.
The
#BlueJays
are 2-7 in Kevin Gausman's last 9 starts and 12-13 overall in his 25 starts this season
They give him the fewest runs of support of any starting pitcher in baseball
Bo Bichette with potentially the best AB of his career.
On the 13th pitch of the at bat against Austin Pruitt, he rockets a lead off homer to right centre field. 1-0
#BlueJays
In 32 innings as a starter this year, Ross Stripling has a 2.81 ERA with 24 strikeouts against just 2 walks.
He has a real strong case as the unsung hero of the season thus far for the
#BlueJays
.
Hypothetically, the Blue Jays sign Matt Chapman for 2 years and $44 million with an opt out after year 1.
What would you say? Give it to me in GIF form
Kevin Gausman in 3 starts against the Red Sox this year.
21 innings, 0.43 ERA, 27 strikeouts, 2 walks.
What an outing tonight when the
#BlueJays
really needed it
Hitters have exactly one barrel (98+ MPH exit velo) against Alek Manoah so far this year.
They're hitting .000 against his fastball and .056 against the slider.
My analysis: He's good
I just want a bullpen that can get strikeouts and easy outs, man. Is that too much to ask?
Figure it out and stop hoping that average is going to be good enough in the postseason
This postseason really couldn't be going worse for Blue Jays fans hahaha
That Atkins presser with Moreno/Lourdes helping the D-Backs is really another layer to the onion that already stinks
In: Turner, IKF, Rodriguez, Kiermaier/Green brought back
Out: Chapman, Belt, Merrifield, Ryu, Hicks, Jay Jackson
If the
#BlueJays
are mostly done for the offseason, what grade are you handing out?
It's a D for me.
