Duane Ward and Roger Clemens are my two favourite pitchers of all time. I wish they tracked spin rate back then, because Ward threw a very heavy ball.

Jays 2023
- Thread starter unassuming
- Start date

Just ordered Jets Pizza on Uber and came home with it. Jets Pizza and their 500 locations across the US lol. What’s a real Detroit treat these days is Moms Spaghetti the spaghetti shop that Eminem owns. It’s on the next block over from the Fox Theatre, across the street from Comerica. Those spaghetti sandwiches are amazing.

Are the Jays going to hit pootzy while Springer is on paternity leave?
Diane Ward was unhitable in his prime, unfortunately it was the heavy curveball he threw that blew out his shoulder.

I thought he was working kind of slow starting around the 4th/5th inning. And he was fighting his stuff at times. But overall it was nice to see a strong outing with much better control over his pitch arsenal. Hope the progression continues because without him firing we stand no chance in the post season.
Getting no hit by one of the worst pitching staffs in MLB is pitiful.
According to AM590 radio, the current AL East win/loss record of all 5 teams is the best ever in all of MLB history.
And the Jays are stuck in this division

What a come back!, Romano didn't blow the save, otherwise I'd have to call him "Joey-dan McLaughlin"
Moreno: AB: 210 AVG: 267 H: 56 RBI: 26 R: 16 HR: 2 CS%: 59%
Jansen: AB: 181 AVG: 227 H: 41 RBI: 37 R: 24 HR: 11 CS%: 13%
Kirk: AB: 197 AVG: 239 H: 47 RBI: 21 R: 14 HR: 3 CS%: 26%
Moreno is a 23 year old rookie what kind of numbers did you expect? His BA has slipped recently but he still sports a respectable .312 OBP and has thrown out 47% of base stealers. He'll be a perennial gold glover.
Krik is 24 has a .317 OBP and has only thrown out 21% of runners. He has the ability to throw out 30%+ but his problem is weight. And where did his power go - only 3 dingers?
Jansen is 28 has an awful .282 OBP and has thrown out a paltry 12% of base stealers. He's clearly the worst defensive option of the 3. But he clearly has the most power.
As it stands right now, Atkins lost this deal pretty bad. No doubt Varsho is good defensively, but he has a .277 OBP. That's pitiful.
Anyone watch the MLB draft last night. Jays selected Arjun Nimmala, a prep shortstop from Florida. There seems to be tremendous upside with this kid, who's only 17. But I think it was the wrong pick. We have a team now. The better fit would have been Hurston Waldrep, a pitcher out of the University of Florida. Within a year or two he'll be MLB ready just needs to work on his control. His upside is SP3.
Given that these guys appear to do better developing other organizations than their time with the Jays, how do you explain that?
Is it ownership, or just luck?
Have you also seen his clutch hitting??
I lost count how many key hits he had that won, tied or got Jays back into games.
I agree with you on Kirk though. Not sure whats going on with him
Danny Jansen looking like Blue Jays' best catching option after slow start
Alejandro Kirk is coming off an all-star season, but Danny Jansen looks like a more promising asset behind the dish right now.
