Going to be two tough series

 

[Puckstuff]

DFA Luplow and bring Lukes back up. Or just carry an extra pitcher because the Jays are 30th in pinch hitting and we don't really need that extra bat like other teams do.

Sure Luplow could turn it around, but I'm not willing to invest in the pain to maybe get something out of him in 1-2 months.

Can't

Only LAA is allowed the extra pitcher.

OTH, Luplow is a LHP masher who isn't mashing while doing very little beyond that. I'd be all for bringing someone else up to try something different.

 

[Tufted Titmouse]

Alek vs Cole is going to be a clencher.

How is the new look Rogers center if anyone has been, have seen social media stuff and the outfield feels like a completely new park basically.

Can't wait to see what it looks like when phase 2 is done

What's included in Phase 2?

What's included in Phase 2?

They'll be renovating the lower levels. I think a big aim will be improving premium seating options - which is a big money maker. Hopefully that makes the Jays more attractive for people that are taking clients to games, because corporate money is hard to beat (big free agents, come on down!)

Oh I didn't know that, thanks.

Lukes is better off getting regular at-bats in Buffalo than the extremely limited playing time as the 26th man…Luplow is fine there for now

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

The good news is that the Jays are facing zero lefties this week, assuming Schmidt starts on Sunday

So we won't see much of Luplow

Lukes turns 29 in July, I don't think it particularly matters if he garners more ABs or not. His ceiling is probably a useful 4th OF. I would even make the opposite case that he needs to get used to playing more sporadically. I remember Whit saying last year that it was a big adjustment for him coming into Toronto.

I am not well versed in whats going with he jays...but wasn't Bassit brought on with considerable expectation? what happened? Or is it just been one game disaster and that's it since it's still early?

His first start was bad, the next 2 were better.

 

[Discoverer]

His first start was bad, the next 2 were better.

Especially considering the first two runners scored in his second start. Since giving up that HR to Trout, he's allowed 2 ER in his last 12 innings.

Wouldn't surprise me if some kind of bench brawl comes of it.

Athletes should never do social media.

Bass should shut the f*** up

In NY next week and sadly this looks like the day with the far better weather.

 

[Blitzkrug]

While a series against the Astros is never "easy" it is nice to avoid Valdez this time.

...Though their rotation is so deep i'm not sure it even matters.

The one reply that posted his stats with a comment of "looks like ur daughter isn’t the only one in ur family who throws trash" is ****ing gold lmao.

Entitled rich whiner is what he is.
