OT: Toronto Blue Jays/MLB Talk

[Lunatik]

Kopech left the White Sox game this afternoon after just 1 inning, I haven't seen the injury but comments I've read make it sound like fans are worried he blew a ligament in his knee

 

[Lunatik]

Game is postponed tonight due to rain. They will play a double bill tomorrow the opener at 2pm MT, the nightcap will be 30 minutes after the day game ends, but no earlier than 5pm MT. Manoah goes in te early game, followed by Ray in the night game.

 

[Lunatik]

For those that care, 6'6" Alek Manoah, who has faced 66 batters in AAA, started 6 games in Vancouver in 2019, and has given up 6 runs in his minor league career, will wear #6.

The previous number 6 was.... not 6'6".

 

[Lunatik]

The previous number 6 was.... not 6'6".

I don't think he's even 6'

News Update 5/27:

• Alek Manoah officially added to 40 man roster.
• Tommy Milone transferred to 60-day DL
• Travis Bergen added to 10-day IL w/ left shoulder impingement
• Anthony Kay added to 10-day IL w/ a blister on his "4th digit" on his left hand, I believe that is the ring finger. (Kay had already been demoted, so he was essentially recalled to be placed on the IL)
• Jays sign LHP Sean Mellen to a Minor League Contract (he's never p layed above rookie ball, so this won't affect the major league team any time soon, if ever)
• Jays/Yankees could not come to an agreement on allowing the 27th roster player for game 1 of the doubleheader due to travel limitations (so sounds like the Jays said no to avoid the Yankees getting the extra roster player), but they did agree for the 2nd game, so both the Jays and Yankees will be adding a roster player for the 2nd game.
• George Springer shagged fly balls and ran bases today. Montoyo says this is the best SPringer has felt
• Jeremy Beasley will be the 27th man in game 2 of the double header.

The piece of human filth Domingo German is pitching for the Yankees today.

 

[Lunatik]

4 pitch walk to LeMahieu to start of Manoah's major league career.

 

[Lunatik]

First major league strikeout! Strikes out Odor on 3 pitches! f*** you Stinky!

 

[Lunatik]

Strikes out Aaron Judge for back to back Ks!

 

[Lunatik]

Manoah's mom is more entertaining than the game itself

 

[Lunatik]

What a terrible f***ing strike 3 call, that pitch was WAAAAY outside, Every pitch in the LeMahieu walk was closer than that

 

[Lunatik]

Marcus Semien!!! 1-0 Jays!

 

[Lunatik]

Bichette! Back 2 Back jacks!

 

[Lunatik]

Through 4 innings, Manoah has walked 1, given up 1 hit (a single), and 5k

Manoah gave up another single, but struck out 2 more. He's at 75 pitches through 5.

Also a reminder that double headers are only 7 inning games.

 

[Lunatik]

6 shutout innings for Manoah. 2 hits (both singles), 2 walks, 7 strikeouts.

[Lunatik]

Sanchez goes deep 4-3 Yanks

Yanks add another on a sac fly, 5-3.

Well that play at the plate might be the easiest I have ever seen. Jansen had the ball before Sanchez was halfway to home
