Jays have strong interest in re-acquiring Marcus Stroman, he is having a great year, he's not that old, just32.
Except for Manoah's weight problem, the pitching staff has carried the club so far. If they continue to get timely hitting, they could press Baltimore. They had their funk in the spring while the Rays are having their's now. El Gran Capitan is going through a sophmore slump, he needs to trim the fat as well.

Do some folks still want to trade BoBochette?

With Gausman out for a while, its at least positive to see the Ryu has been doing some good things in the minors. Seems like he will be the call up -- perhaps a little earlier than they wanted.

Anyone else like the Jay's uppercut punch celebration? I think it originated from Kuchi's uppercut punch on strike outs


I can live with that much more then dumb ass HR jackets anything like the dumb shit other teams are doing.

Don't know if anyone caught the post game interview with Whit Merrifield, but he clearly was annoyed with the ice bath from Vlad.

I really wish Vlad would grow up. Ice baths are cool after really big moments, not 90 times a year after every win.

Let's have a moment of empathy, grief and silence for Rougned Odor - DFA-ed by the Padres before tonight's game.

Enjoy the bus rides in AAA, assjack!!! 😹 😹 😹

It's depressing watching Alek Manoah. The talent is there, yet his belly fat is hanging over his belt, he has no stamina. He needs to spend the winter with Osmin Hernandez, former Cuban Marine. Fish, salad and water, it actually does work.


As for Rougned Odor, he can get comfy with my morning log.

Agree. The biggest Manoah issue is fitness. Speaking from experience I know how the body operates at proper weight and up 50 lbs.

Tough loss tonight, lets see what Berrios can do (and he's been really good) tomorrow.
A little too early. Manoah is a competitor, a young guy who's fallen off the rail but let us give him some time to become the 5th starter this year.

Not trying to say that there was much positive from his performance tonight, but he got screwed over several ways.

The ump really squeezed him in the 1st 2 innings today. He had 2 clear strikeouts that were called balls. They both extended innings and cost him 2 or 3 runs and an extra 25 pitches. Then the fluke play of the ball hitting the bag and bouncing over Chapman's head as well as Springer's losing the ball in the lights. Chapman also mishandled the transfer in the 3rd leaving 2 men on with no outs.

But the toughest part was seeing him give up 5 walks in 3+ innings. His control was poor but there's still hope for him.

Yes Manoah had some tough calls go against him, he didn't have the stamina to gut it out.

I know what carrying excess weight can do to your stamina. I used to weigh 266 lbs, doing something nice for the SO would get me doggy. Was lucky to get 20 strokes in before running out of gas. Now I'm at 240 (still not ideal) but at least I can serve her franks and beans for dinner.
