Lots of new faces, we will see who ends up hanging around for opening day. Looks like Manoah came into TC, fit and ready to move past his 2023 season.

Definitely excited to have the season starting soon.
Yes Manoah has apparently "shaped up", well at least as others view his profile
He would be an astronomical bonus if he gets back to his positive performances

Turner at 3rd or might we see more of Vlad G. there or perhaps this former Yankee Kiner-Filefa

I honestly haven't been less excited for a season to start in a long time. The team didn't really add anyone of consequence so we're just hope everyone is better this year?

I like what the Jays have done with there DH. 3rd base is going to be interesting. It sounds like CB is also taking reps at 3rd. Apparently pitcher Ricky Tiedemann has looked VG.

Nice win by the Blue Jays today.  Very good pitching. Bats took awhile to get going.

Jockitch

First 3 innings were not encouraging but ........ hooray, they then had some very big hits
Big jacks went over the walls 3 times including the long no-doubter by Vladi G.   
 Pitching by Berrios was spot on and then the supporting cast were basically perfect

Tonight we hope this continues

Jays didn't look good. Made a couple of costly errors. Bassitt giving up the Grand Slam. Springer with another HR.

Nice bounce back day for the Blue Jays. Gausman with a pretty good start to his season. Turner with 4 hits and 3 RBIs. IKF also with 2 hits.

Jockitch

Big recovery win to get a split in Tampa. Pitching was sharp and Turner and the boys scored a bunch

 now onto Houston, who are licking wounds from the Yankees sweeping all 4 games

Nice come back win for the Jays tonight. Excellent pitching kept us in the game. Turner had a great night at the plate. Schneider with a two run homer in the 9th, for the win.

Blue Jays are a 500 team at this point. There O has been very good so far this season. However today Clement hits a 7th inning HR, and then the Yankee's pitching blows up in the 9th. Blue Jays was solid again. Not pretty, but we will take it.
Don't go through life looking in the rearview mirror.

Pigskin

Blue Jays have had a rough start to the year with 10 games to start the season on the road. Came home with a 4-6 record.  Pitching ran hot and cold, however they are still missing a couple of key pitchers at this point. The Jays also left far to many runners on base. Kirk can't seem to throw out runners on base, but DJ is expected back soon.

Turner has been very good so far this season. Clements is playing well, and looks like he will replace Chapman. IKF is another player who has played well so far this season. And, Schneider continues to play well.

Berrios pitches a beauty in the Jays home opener. Lots of players chipping in with hits in this one.

Pigskin

Blue Jays pitching excellent again tonight. A couple of stolen bases, and some timely hitting. Jay's looked good again tonight at home.

Jockitch

Kikuchi had a nice showing wasted by poor, poor hitting and then a terrible 10th inning
 
Geez how the Jays batting, on base and slugging averages are so very abysmal

Well, Jays took another 2 out of 3 on the weekend. Gausman was terrible on Friday and gave up 6 runs, other then that it was a pretty good weekend for the Jays pitching. Jays O seems to be coming around, with Turner leading the way. Will be nice when we get some of injured players back.

Big win for the Jays tonight. Excellent pitching battle. Both teams held to 4 hits.

Pigskin

The Jays with another win, and Kikuchi with another gem. Like how our young players are playing right now.

Pigskin

Gausman with nice bounce back game. Jays up 4-2 going into the 9th. Mayza and Swanson give up 4 runs in the 9th. Sad, can't be loosing games like that. The Jays winning 2 of 3 against the Yankees.

Battling tonight in San Diego vs a knuckleball thrower. It will be a tough adjustment but hittable we hope.

Excellent pitching again for the Blue Jays. Blue Jays with 11 hits. Most of them coming early in the game.

Blue Jays win another game tonight. That's 6 wins out of there last 7 games. Pitching was excellent again tonight. Seems like every night it's a different group of players providing the O.

The Blue Jays pitching gives up only 6 hits, but 9 walks in a 6-3 loss.

Good pitching, timely hitting, and no BBs, the Jays beat the Royals 5-3. Another good road win.

Did not watch Jays as the hockey took my focus but **** a 3-2 loss but the 3 runs were unearned

Hitters need to drive runners in and not leave 10 runners, per last night, on base

Blue Jays lost a 2-1 5 inning game to KC. The game was rain delayed for 3.5 hours before the umpires gave the W to KC. Vlad still not hitting.

Jockitch

such a pathetic start in the hitting category by high priced Jays, except Turmer.

Wonder if any of these guys are to big for their unis cuz they aren't, seemingly, improving
Is it the deaf ear syndrome to their batting coach or is he inept

Blue Jays get a win. Great pitching, still not much O.

HOORAY Blue Jays win
Jet game on and being at my sister's and she had the remote ...... didn't see a pitch

Checked the stats and fabulous pitching from Gausman & relievers
Three runs were enough ---- wow what a break

The offense is just so offensive

The Blue Jays are scored most of there runs in the first 3-4 inning. Then nothing. There also leaving far to many runners on base.

Jockitch

Apparently Bichette will not be in the lineup tonight, so Turner will move to the 2nd spot in the batting lineup.
Meanwhile Kiner-Falefa then goes to SS and young Addison Barger gets his first start at 3rd.

Lets get the bats going Jays

Nice win for the Jays. Decent pitching, nice to see the O showed up tonight with 12 hits and 6 runs.

Jockitch

Another game, 6-1 loss, where the offense just did not compete

Coach Schneider or the batting coach are not going to finish the season at this ghastly rate of production

          HUSTLE & MUSCLE

Pigskin

Little baffled by this team. They score runs early and then seem to sit on leads. Late inning scoring just isn't there. They have only scored 6 runs in 5 of 34 games. Relief pitching at times is also not very good.

Manoah stunk again and the Jays lost a nice lead and didn't recover

After a terrible outing yesterday, the Blue Jays bounced back today with a nice road win.

saw on a sports ticker that Springer is not in starting lineup so Schneider will lead off with Varsho 2nd,
and they show Bichette down in 6th spot    GOOD LUCK JAYS this weekend

Can anyone tell me why Vogelbach still is a Jay ?

Wow, Gausman had a rough outing. Down 8-3 after 4. However the bats came alive and the relief pitching was ood for a 10-8 final. Nice come back win. Vladi 4 hits, Jansen 3 hits, Schneider 3 hits.

watched most of the tremendous comeback victory on Saturday .  Certainly was inspiring

Today however was back to normal offensive woes ........ however the Manoah performance was wonderful to watch

Last in the division; 5 games back of .500; Bichette batting around .200; pretty sure the team doesn't have anyone signed beyond the next couple of years.

Something is rotten in the core of this team. 
My wife is amazing!

Nice win over the Orioles. Berrios was lights out good. Bo with 3 hits, a walk, and a stolen base. Clements with 2 hits, but that bunt in the 10th was a beauty.

Excellent game this afternoon, but Romano giving up a 2 run walk off home run in the bottom of the 9th. Bo seems to be back, 2 for 3 with a walk.

Manoah with a great outing today. Vogelbach with a big game. Vladi with another good day in a 5-2 win.

Bassitt with another good game. Blue jays score 9 runs, Bo's bat stays hot.

certainly put a smile on many a fan's face with all the clutch hitting for a change
 ---- course it basically was in their fantastic 7 run inning

Glad that Bassitt was doing real well

Blue Jays have found there offence. Bo is red hot. Vladi finding his swing. Jansen with another 2 hit night.

Well, Manoah fell back to earth tonight. Not a good outing. Jays with 10 hits, but only 2 runs to show for it. Bo and Vladi still hot at the plate.

Berrios with a beauty, but the offence could only score 1 run.

Back to back losses ......... a waste of Berrios good pitching
thinking it's time Vogel, a waste of $$, and Turner, 39 years, hit the waiver wire

In their wrap-up, it was mentioned that today was the 48th different batting lineup in 51 games - WOW !

Baltimore bang the balls all over the ballpark in the first 2 games and the Jays overall were real bad
However the script gets flipped and the Jays are victorious in the last 2 of the 4 game set.

Berrios and Kikuchi were solid and guys like Turner, Vlad, I.K.F, to name a few, came through

So Bo B. gets placed on a 10 day IL and they bring up from the Bisons the latest hot shot Martinez

He is also a mid fielder and joins a wrath of similar type of young ball players

Gausman wasn't bad and 3 relievers were spot on in support, or vise versa, with the offense

Not only did Vlad get 4 rbi but Springer and Kiermaier each had 3 hits.

Last night in San Fran, with having only 3 hits after their batting in the ninth, still led 3-2

Then basically Richards, in relief, blew it all, culminating in a wild pitch and a 4-3 loss

Relief pitching has really hurt this team, and inconsistent hitting. However last night even with Francis giving up to HRs in the 9th, we had 10 runs on 14 hits.

Webb, for San Fran, locks them down for 4 innings and then in the next two, everything was terrific

Blue Jays will be a much younger team next season.

Gone: Richards, Kiermaier, IKF, Turner, Kikuchi, Pearson, Garica, and Jansen. Probably a few more.

Atkins and co have really flubbed the last few years.

Jockitch

For the most part not having much issue at what the Jays (Atkins) did.
Course the Garcia move puzzled me and the trade of Kiner-Falefa was disappointing

The amount of infielders picked up was a bit of a head scratcher. Would have kept I.K-F. over D. Schneider
 Perhaps, another arm or hustling outfielder, with power, to help Vlad in the lineup

Yes Spring Training will be extremely competitive
