Wouldn’t mind seeing Bo take more days. Don’t miss seeing him play shortstop

Wouldn't want to have the manager get up about easily the worst call all game that cost the Jays a baserunner. Nah.

Swanson throwing slop up as usual.

That fraud Pearson playing the role of closer tonight?

Could certainly use an insurance run with Pearson coming in.

He's been much better than the likes of Richards, Swanson, Cabrera and Mayza throwing beach balls out there.

What a tremendous feat. However, these numbers should mean nothing. According to Atkins, this team is based on "Run Prevention". The key is to prevent the other teams to score more runs than you.

Are they praying on Manoah to find his form or do they have an RP laarping as the 5th starter

Rodriguez isn't expected to manage a full season of starts this year - that's the goal for next year. We've got our four locked in starters (Berriros, Bassitt, Kikuchi, Gausman) and the fifth was always expected to be a mix of Francis, Manoah, Rodriguez, and potentially Tiedmann or another MiLB who earns a shot.

Asking our team team for just one is already a tough ask.
Didn't want to go crazy or be unrealistic.

Varsho sitting tonight because... reasons. Lmao. I don't care if we're facing a lefty, you leave the guy leading the team in HR's and RBIs in the lineup. We're sitting healthy players every day but allowing Guerrero to call his own shots. Just baffling decisions given that Vlad has been trash all year while Varsho is on a two week heater.

Manoah $hit the bed again last start. He's pitching better tonight. Hopefully he can have a clean game.

Varsho is 1 for his last 14, and has looked terrible at the plate since his one solid week. He came down to earth which he normally does.
