Nice. When Vladdy has a great day I'll make a post there.
The 2025 Toronto Blue Jays
- Thread starter Toronto Passions
- Start date
Scherzer removed from game due to injury, not the nagging thumb, but a stiff lat muscle, won't last the season, just too old.
DFA this Lovelady, so far he's hit 5 batters this season.

The first series of the season hasn't changed my mind on the Jays.
They are fully capable of being a 75 win team.... but they also have the pieces if things go right and some run luck to be an 89 win team.
I think if you look at most teams in the AL East the downside and upside is going to be around 15 games. Problem is with the AL East the downside range for most of the teams is closer to 83 or so games and upside is in the mid to upper 90's. Except for the Rays who have a wider range for me.

Time to get real
After the top three there are no serious hitters on the team
Gimenez batting fourth is a joke
Varsho should be better than Gimenez
Forget Springer
no contender has only 3 solid hitters
WTF happens when they go on a cold streak?
long relief is pathetic
defense is solid esp when Varsho returns
starting pitching has no true ace or backyups when injurues occur as pitchers go down more than anyone
as farm system is weak
we need another all star hitter, a quality long reliever and a true ace
I count 3 more stars needed
The New York Yankees hit 15 home runs in their three-game series to open the season.
We hit three in 4 games

Honestly I think ownership need to rebuild and move on from Shapiro+Atkins+Schneider and promote DeMarlo Hale for a period and look at trading off Vladdy+Berrios+Yariel and rebuild the farm. Paying Vladdy $600M+ isn't going to make the Jays better. If they can keep Bo for 25M a year for maybe 5 years that might give some people reasons to keep tickets selling at a price that isn't whatever shit price it is now like $60 starting for 200 levels side is dogshit for the quality of this team. If Rogers fuckup and pay Vladdy I fear they'll be seeing the Jays moved to the States by 2035.
I am pretty sure that not a single person here thinks that your game by game updates are in the least bit informative.
Shush Shack don't make a fuss, Mitchy's a fun guy. I'm more perturbed that we have a Wankees thread.
Did you verify this hypothesis through empirical study, perhaps with an Ouija board, chicken bones or the entrails of a goat?
Cheech and Chong went to a sushi bar and ate whale's anus, they found it too chewy.
It's always comforting to hear Buck.

0-3 tonight....He's a Yankee killer. Especially Gerrit Cole.
I have a lot of respect for his bat. Has to be a lot of pressure on him with the Bregman acquisition.
If Scherzer had been healthy we could have been 4-1.
I like this Jays team so far

April 25, 2025......Yankee stadium
Aaron Judge vs. Andres Gimenez
A battle of the titans
Don't miss it.

Andres Gimenez, multiple Gold Glove winner and .333 BA, 3 dingers, and 1.399 OPS, dare I say it? another Robbie Alomar in the making?
It's early but still.

Seems a fire has been lit under Springer's ass, .400 BA 3 RBIs
That 98mph fastball he pulled for a double to left-field proves he still has excellent bat speed for his age
I know. I was at Sunday’s game. He’s playing with the spark his step, absolutely. Good for him shut the critics up prove yourself.

Steve Simmons had pretty much written him off already
SIMMONS: Is there any real hope for the Blue Jays this season?
Every MLB baseball season begins with hope. But how much of it is real for a Toronto Blue Jays team looking to find its way once again?

George Springer, again, is a key player for the Blue Jays despite all the statistical evidence that questions his place in Major League Baseball.
Springer was an excellent big league player. He isn’t anymore.
He turns 36 in September. It isn’t a time when professional athletes recapture what has been lost over the years. In his past three seasons with the Jays, Springer has dropped in batting average from .267 to .220, from an OPS of .814 to .674, from an on-base percentage of .342 to .303, and an OPS+ dropping from 132 to 92. Each season a little worse than the one before it.
Now Jays will tell you that Springer had a sound spring training. That process is working on his behalf. That he looks to bounce back this season. And maybe he will.
But historically, when a player in any sport drops incrementally in every category that matters over a three-year period, the likelihood is those numbers are an indication of a career in decline.
The Jays need something from Springer this season. Whether he has that in him, again, may be more hope than reality.
