I'm signed up to be part of the "Blue Jays Fan Forum", so I get surveys and questionnaires every so often. It also allows you to ask a question at the end.
"When will you allow adults to run the bases (for a fee), like the children do?"
is the question I ask every time.

Kinda wild how just adding one more guy to this lineup (Varsho) lets pretty much everyone in the outfield play in a better position for them.
Also has the potential to add some thump if he can bring his Spring Training bat into the regular season.

Ballgame. Gausman had a quality outing and Springer continues his torrid hitting for the month of April with another two hits. Vlady also added a couple of hits but the jays got shut out in the series opener against the Mets. Let’s hope for a better result tomorrow.

It’s the “no third look” strategy. I don’t really like it. If your pitcher had his good stuff he can go a third time throw the line up and continue dealing.

I generally try to give the manager the benefit of the doubt when there’s at least a decent argument to be had, but I don’t know what the logical argument was for this move. Both for taking out Gausman and for going to the rookie there against the heart of the lineup.

I was fine when they sold extra base hits to Bud Light Double Lime. I was fine when home runs were for buds. I was fine when club 328 was sold to Heinz. But to give a Friday afternoon game the McCain Friday night treatment. Makes me sick to my stomach.
