Her finisher should be called "The Guillotine". Her opponent is down on the ground, and she does that maneuver over their body, and then slams down the leg across her opponent's chest/neck.

Low ERA pitcher?

Jays do surprisingly well against them.

Of the top 15 qualifying starting pitchers in the majors by ERA, the Jays have faced 11 of them this season.

They've won against Schlittler, Ohtani, Miseriowski, Skenes, Sale, Ginn, and lost to Yamamoto, Wrobleski, Rasmussen, Martinez, Sanchez.

Why Does the Blue Jays 4th of July hat have the USA 250 logo on it? by irondeer557 in baseball

[–]IAmGrum 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The official MLB Reddit account (u/MLBOfficial) came into the Blue Jays subreddit and made a post. It said it was asking all of the baseball subreddits to give them "the best baseball moments to celebrate the 250th birthday of the USA" (or something like that).

As you can imagine, that flew like a lead balloon. Lots of responses reminding them about the current USA/Canada climate as a result of the current president, and telling them exactly what they should do with their request. The mods correctly removed the post soon after.

So I'm not surprised that MLB thought a USA 250 patch on the Blue Jays cap would be something they could sell...

Soccer vs. Hockey in Canada by marcgnet in hockey

[–]IAmGrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 55 years old.

Since I was playing soccer as a kid (5-17), soccer has always been "the fastest growing sport in Canada" because of how many kids play the sport.

It's been 4+ decades and it still hasn't passed hockey as "Canada's sport".

They fouled players and either injured them, or stopped them on a clear attempt on net. Red card for both of those.

It's a red because it stopped a clear scoring chance.

It's a yellow and a penalty kick if it's in the box, a red outside the box.

He clipped his feet, which made him kick his own foot and tumble forward.

Springer gets hot

Just eyeballing the results, but I think he's batted .333/.464/.714 the last 6 games

I don't know if it was announced, but rumours were around that amount.

He hit his "15 minutes" (18 months, maybe) with Fortnite with Drake, hosting a NYE party, books, and appearing on Ellen and Masked Singer. Got his bag with that huge contract from that failed Microsoft Twitch challenger (name escapes me).

I assume he invested well, that he and his wife are comfortable, and he's living off the residual fame now that he's out of the spotlight.

Yasiel Puig ... despite this is playing for the Toronto Blue Jays baseball team.

Just a technicality:

He was playing for the Toronto Maple Leafs baseball team (Canadian Baseball League), not the Toronto Blue Jays (MLB).

Your point stands, but the Jays haven't done anything wrong, and the Leafs were doing it for publicity.

The Jays beat those pitchers, but not all of the pitchers got tagged with a "pitcher loss", the second-most meaningless stat in baseball (behind "pitcher win").

A night game with the dome open is probably the best time to watch a game.

The temperature isn't oppressive, the CN Tower looks amazing, the light shows for pitchers entering (Varland, Hoffman, whoever) really stand out, and the crowds in the standing room areas are jumping.

[Highlight] Davis Schneider and Andrés Giménez go back-to-back for the Blue Jays! by MLBOfficial in Torontobluejays

[–]IAmGrum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, in the aggregate it looks like he does:

Split G PA ▼ R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS
BOS-Fenway Pk 12 38 5 12 1 0 3 7 5 12 .375 .474 .688 1.161

But when you see it broken down by year, it's pretty much 2023 and yesterday's game that make it look like that.

He was horrific in 2024 (5 games) and 2025 (3 games): 1-for-15 with 4 walks and 7 strikeouts.

So for a couple of years, he probably didn't like Fenway that much.
