So for starting pitchers who go for like about 4-5 innings (gone are the days when starting pitcher last 6, 7, 8, heaven forbid, 9 innings)... it's the 3-4 game rotation that saves their arm, 5-7 days in between to recover?

Yeah most of them pitch like every 5th game or so, keep in mind they are still working on their mechanics on their days off etc. they just aren't throwing 100%

I'd suspect the kind of velocity they're throwing the ball at 95+MPH elicits microtears within the shoulder/rotator that requires that week to heal.

Imagine a QB having to play a game literally a day or two after the last game, that would be pretty tough at that level.

Trey Yesavage. This (today's game), will indicate if this youngster is for real.

Amazing, so far.

Yesterday's game got a little scary, but they got out of it and started to rape the Yankees. Watching rerun clips of the Var Show. Damn.

How can anyone living in Canada not get behind this team? Two things that bring this country together. Trump and the Blue Jays.

Been a Blue Jays fan through thick and thin. Buck just said, "This team hasn't been given the credit it deserves for the season it's put together. And now people around the country are understanding how good they are. Dan adds, in The US as well. Not many know much about the Blue Jays. 5 gold glovers out in the field for the Jays today.


5-0 end of 4. Yesavage with 10 strike outs. Most teams have this projection machine that has stats on every pitcher in Major League baseball. Even puts pitcher up on a screen as the simulation pitch is thrown out. Nothing on Yesavage. One of the little pluses that has made a huge impact on this year's team. All planned, I'm sure.


Let's Go, Blue Jays!!!!

Grand Slam!!!!!!


I saw Guerrero nod his head like he knew something. I looked over at my Vladdy Bobblehead and I swear I saw it move, too. He knew what to expect. He's locked in.

Var Show......... Home Run!!!

11-0 now. Bottom of 4th with 1 out.

This is unreal

Yesavage dominated the Yankees today with his pitching! Eleven strikeouts!

Amazing. Keep in mind that Yesavage played only his FOURTH game in his MLB career after pitching today.

Var Show again. Two homers and two doubles! So far.

That Home Run Jacket getting well worn these days. Imagine they stopped it last year and brought it back after lots of complaints. Barrio idea/concept. Started by the team interpreter, iirc. Sure beats Seattle's trident, the wheelbarrow, etc.

I'm so glad Buck is back and Rogers/Sportsnet having rights to show all Jays games. I remember the days of having to listen to subpar announcers from other carriers, who knew nothing about Canada.

Buck and the team are so knowledgeable. Baseball IQ, indeed. There are haters of Buck out there, but they have no idea what the hell they're talking about. You can't beat the experiences of Buck. His stories are pure gold. "Get up ball, get out of here!"

Also, think manager (John Schneider) is a great fit for the organization. I felt so badly for him last two years. Not fair what he had to go through the last few seasons. Glad they kept believing in him. Fun fact. He was a coach for the Vancouver Canadians.



Uh oh....... bases loaded for Yankees with Judge at plate. Nance............... 13-2 might not be enough.

Bullshit Pen meltdown, lol. 13-7, 7th inning. Fluharty, thank god.

What a game! The Jays are beating the Yanks so bad that Trump's gonna send the National Guard to Toronto.

Huge game. I wish the bullpen instilled me with a bit more confidence but it was still a dominant performance otherwise.

Vladdy! Historical grand slam from Guerrero Jr.

First ever grand slam in Blue Jays post season history.

Keep this offence going Toronto! I wanna see Vladdy keep hitting with power in game 3 in New York.

Who is your daddy?? Vladdy!

Didn't catch the game but I'm happy for the Jays fans and bandwagoners! Complete beatdown of the biggest heel team in baseball for over a century SeemsGood

Needed an epic bat flip :spamarama:... but alas, notta. Humility is good. Let's get through the Jays first round first.

The Jays have to win this game....... especially after the fans booed our national anthem. Fuck them assholes! Fuck, fuck, fuck.............. you assholes deserve Trump in all his gloryhole.



Okay, they're not all assholes. Just Yankee's fans. /rant



Vladdy got jeered big time today..... for his comments earlier this season about never ever, ever, signing with the NY Yankees. So what does he do today? Two run homer. Jays need to be up by 9 runs. NY is not going down easily. 6-1 Jays bottom of 3rd. man on second and Judge at plate.......


6-2 Judge a double with no outs.

Darn it! Three run home run from Judge.

Varland’s inside fastball is not enough.

Tie game. 6-6

99.7 mph fastball from Varland too.

Well, there's always tomorrow...... and Friday.


Two huge Blue Jays errors.

Not loving tomorrow being a bullpen game... Best of 5 series and were out of starters? Yikes. I hope they at least field their best defensive players tomorrow, Santander is a liability and Barger could barely make a decent throw to first after his fuck up, maybe too big of a moment for a rookie.

Wait, there are no more starters on the rotation ... this is only game 4. What are they going to do when it is a 7 game series, just rotate 3 pitchers?

They'll add starters if they make the next round, but they are stuck with what they have for the rest of this round unless there is an injury I believe

2025 Blue Jays
 

Schneider sounded quite confident in his pitchers and his team during the post game interview after game 3.

Get it done boys! Go Jays go!

It’s time for the Jays to shit on those Yankees again!

Schneider announced that Yesavage is available to pitch in game 4.

Pulling out all the stops to win this game. All hands on deck.

Let's get it!!!! :gun:

They kinda better win today or else the momentum will be on the NYY side, going back to TO, one game winner takes it all. You know how Toronto teams do in those critical deciding games :lol.

K, what is Blue Jays strategy for pitching in this game ... 6 pitchers with about an inning each ??!!
