Leaving Bassitt in, would have been too risky for me to do. Already missing enough pitchers right now, no need to injure a starter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing...I keep hoping this will be the time he gets it together and I keep getting disappointed. It wouldn't be so worrying if he was just low leverage guy, but he's the Lefty out of the pen that's supposed to take care of the big Lefty hitters. We've still got Cabrera, but he doesn't instill a ton of confidence either..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsons was designated for assignment by the Jays last week and has now been optioned to Triple-A Columbus. Righty Shane Bieber was transferred to the 60-day injured list to open a 40-man spot for Parsons. It was reported over the weekend that Bieber will undergo Tommy John surgery, thus missing the remainder of the 2024 season. --------------------------------------- mal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if he stole $16 million from Ohtani, where did the remaining $25 million come from? Also from the article: Mizuhara knew the game was over. In a message to his illegal bookmaker on March 20, the day the Los Angeles Times and ESPN broke the news of the investigation, he wrote: “Technically I did steal from him. it’s all over for me.” Technically? Also from the article: Federal investigators say Mizuhara made around 19,000 wagers between December 2021 and January 2024 — nearly 25 bets per day on average. The wagers ranged from roughly $10 to $160,000 per bet, $10 to $160,000??? That's quite a spread. Wonder how he determined which bets were worth which money?

Well you throw in $10 on your long shots, like San Jose winning the Stanley cup, and your $100,000 bets on sure things, like Ohtani getting 1+ hit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the most part, manager John Schneider kept things vague in his pre-game media availability with reporters Friday afternoon. He acknowledged that Rodriguez was in Toronto, and that he’ll probably be activated at some point during this weekend’s series. Yet there were “some different scenarios” in play depending on how things unfolded against the Rockies in the series opener. After an 12-4 loss in which the Blue Jays asked their bullpen to cover 5.1 innings against the Colorado Rockies, Schneider made it official: Rodriguez will start in place of Bowden Francis on Saturday afternoon, with Francis available in a piggyback role out of the bullpen. --------------------------- mal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 (edited) New pitcher looking good, so far In your opinion: did springer mess up on Vladdy's deep fly ball in the bottom of first.? He was on first, and the ball goes to the wall, where it is caught by the outfielder. George had left first, going to second, then had to run back to first. If he stayed on first, waits for the catch, he then could maybe reach 2nd base, if the ball gets dropped, or not caught, then he definitely gets to second. Kind of moot- after Varsho's grand slam, but George makes me wonder, on a few of his base running efforts. Edited April 13 by Gurn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't see the play as I tuned in a bit late, but the book is, you only tag up from first if it's a lock that the outfielder is going to catch it. If not, you're taught to go "halfway", although that's a bit misleading.....you basically go as far as you can and be sure you can beat the throw back to first. When you can get that far on a fly ball, you want to be in position to score, if it isn't caught. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
