AL MVP:

Guerrero Jr or Ohtani?

 

[shack]

That entire Sahlen field is filled with Yankee fans

That shouldn't be terribly surprising. Probably most of NY state are Yankee fans.

 

[Sonic Temple]

When you are scoring 5 or more runs for your pitcher - how are you still losing. My god this team is frustrating.

Mike and Tony discussed this on PTI yesterday. I think that they were leaning toward Vlad. They agreed that if he wins the Triple Crown, then definitely Vlad.

With Jays batting lineup, they should be scoring way more than 5 runs/game, can't wait until Springer is totally healthy, that'll add more runs/game. also their bullpen sucks big time except for Romano.

They need Merryweather and Phelps back ASAP

Yeah I know that. But because of Trudeau (who lets NHL teams into the country, but not MLB teams) we are now playing away games in Buffalo against the Yankees, and also away games against Tampa when they were in Dunedin

Phelps is officially out for the rest of the season. Merryweather would certainly help, as would Borucki. In addition, why not bring up Hatch and Pearson to pitch in the bullpen?

 

[unassuming]

Didn't know that about Phelps, yes, Hatch and Pearson should be brought up.

Hope Vladdy doesn't take part in HR Derby , it might fuck up his swing like it did in 2019, although balls are gonna fly out of the stadium since the game will be in Denver.

Only the Canadian teams were allowed in but were not allowed to leave and come back again after that. How do you propose that would work for MLB?

And rates of infection are still higher in the US than in Canada.

Do you want to turn this into a political discussion?

I'm saying the whole rule is idiocy. Teams represent 50 people or so (including players, coaches, staff...etc).
Meanwhile thousands of truck drivers pass through the border every day, what difference are 50 people gonna make??
Just test the players twice a day and it shouldnt have been a problem

Sure, why not

The fact that Canada currently still has a lower rate of infection than the US gives credence to the policies of the Trudeau administration.

Canada is #1 in vaccinations (a higher %age of Canucks have at least partial immunity than any other country).

HHmm....so the Las Vegas Knights are allowed to come into the Bell centre this friday to play Montreal, but the Jays are not??!!

Yeah, sounds perfectly fair

This is the first time in almost a year and a half. And Trudeau getting at least partial immunity to 70% of the population has a lot to do with that.

I predict there will be fans in attendance at the dome well before the end of the season.

 

[shack]

I thought that last night was a great game for the Jays. The bullpen did not blow a lead.

 

[unassuming]

Panik and Vladdy can take blame for loss

 

[gcostanza]

• T.J. Zeuch added
• OF Jared Hoying added
• Teoscar Hernández to paternity list
• Rafael Dolis to 10-day IL with R middle finger strain
• CJ Edwards (oblique) to 60-day IL

 

[mandrill]

Vladdy hits a new milestone - grounds into a triple play.

 

[Nad Smith]

I was thinking it would be a good idea to have a third base coach tell the baserunners what to do.
