    I hope the bats come alive… so much talent unable to capitalize and score runs. String all the hits together and get people on.

          I think I missed Springer’s AB, but I don’t like what I saw from Vladdy and Kirk: swinging on the first pitch and it’s outside the zone. I feel like they might have more success with the mantra of “be a tough out” because it seems like they’re too reactive and desperate to get hits, and it’s not working out for them. I effin hate seeing Vladdy pop out on a first pitch 😤

            Oh boy that’s the worst! Your feared hitter with a tendency to pop out this year… needs to be a tough out and hit everything coming to him.

      Agreed, but at the same time TJ is so common now, like Buck says “his first TJ,” it’s kind of a system-level thing with the way the game’s played now too

    Even with the run, Kikuchi is doing his job tonight. Offence needs to do their job now.

      Kuch is pitching his way into our post-season 3-man rotation 😎 (although it’s probably dependent on match up too). Bassitt as a bulk reliever might not be bad…
      But back to tonight’s game: 6+ IP, sub 2.00 ERA, and a no decision for our starter. How 2023 Blue Jays! 😭

          On Blair and Barker today they speculated that with a more left-handed team like the Orioles it’d be Kikuchi in the 3rd spot, a very right-handed team like Houston would probably see Bassitt as #3

    2 on, no out, your best hitter is up, what’s the outcome? Pitcher started double play…

    Ay…

    I’ve been pretty happy with Biggio in the lineup of late, based on the eye test. I’m going to pull some numbers though 🤓

      Since the start of this month (excluding tonight), Cavan Biggio: 8 G, 29 PA, 7 R, 7 H, 3 RBI, 3 BB, slashline: .280/.379/.819. No wonder he’s hitting been hitting 5th a couple times :)

        So… keep Whit at LF, Cavan at 2nd, Varsho/Kiermaier/Springer share the other outfield spots. I think Cavan needs everyday playing time.

      Lol @myself, I thought this game was in Philly. Last time I checked, the Phanatic doesn’t travel with the team :/

    Not how you draw it up, but I’ll take it! Tack on some insurance runs now for Romano!
