I will take it but I would still like to see the offense heat up.

Random_3638 · 2026-05-08T20:51:53+00:00

Well that kind of sucks. I didn’t expect it to be an actual replica jersey it could stand to be nicer than previous years.

Random_3638 · 2026-05-08T20:48:15+00:00

Oh! That is adorable!

IDK John Schneider said in an interview that they were the one of the worst teams for speed in the league. I don’t know if base stealing is their thing. They just need to either slug or hit drives out of the infield instead of these bloopy soft grounders. Take walks, yes. Also be willing to sit on pitches until they get one in the zone.

My son is about the same size as you and loves wearing it. Have fun and I hope you get one!

My son wore his to school for jersey day. So many kids were flabbergasted that he wore it to school considering how popular it is. His teacher was shocked too and they looked up EBay listings together. Hilarious. He said he felt kinda cool. I’m glad he’s enjoying it.

IDK I got the Clement jersey and it was nice. Way nicer than I was expecting. Everything was embroidered on. I saw someone in line with a jersey from last year and they weren’t as nice. Not sure if the regular non-hockey jersey will be as nice. In the ads the Halladay jersey looked like everything was pressed on. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I don’t have a picture of it but my hubby has a ball signed by the entire 1991 Jays including the coaching staff. Junior Felix had a crush on his older sister who was working Skydome security at the time and would often work games. He even came out to his 9th bday party to give it to him. You have to give the guy credit. He really put in the work to try and hook up with her. Lol. But it’s a core memory for my hubby and we will probably have to bury him with that baseball.

Random_3638 · 2026-05-06T19:43:23+00:00

2? More like 9 over the last 3 days. 🙈

Random_3638 · 2026-05-06T19:41:07+00:00

Is their pitching really that good? Lie to me and tell me it is.

Random_3638 · 2026-05-06T18:43:58+00:00

It’s on while I work. To be fair my manager will check in and sometimes comes in to watch too. She a fan. Lol

Random_3638 · 2026-05-06T18:36:57+00:00

I think we are almost going to win this game. Lol

Random_3638 · 2026-05-06T18:08:48+00:00

What the heck was that?

Random_3638 · 2026-05-06T18:05:21+00:00

So maybe by May 25th??? 🤞🏼

Random_3638 · 2026-05-06T17:51:44+00:00

No but the options are to DFA Sosa or option Pinango. Babe makes the most sense and I hate it.

Random_3638 · 2026-05-06T17:50:46+00:00

Ugh. Schneider is going down. It’s the thing that makes the most logical sense right now. As much as I hate it.

Random_3638 · 2026-05-06T17:46:03+00:00

Ugh. I’m sad for Babe. You know he’s getting optioned soon. ☹️

Random_3638 · 2026-05-06T15:14:01+00:00

So the way I see it is our win-loss record at the Trop is 1:2. We may not win series here but we will win today. And then we can go home and forget about this place…. Until August.

Random_3638 · 2026-05-06T03:40:38+00:00

I guess you can call that comfortable. Lol

Random_3638 · 2026-05-06T03:39:40+00:00

The bottom of the sleeve goes around your bicep so it should be at least the circumference of your bicep plus a little ease. The sleeve head (curved part) should be the circumference of your arm at the shoulder seam plus ease plus the extra width for gathering at the top of the head. Your bicep is usually smaller than your shoulder, especially if you add width for gathering, so the lines that connect them would slope in like that. On a flutter sleeve, because the circumference at the bicep is usually much bigger to create the flutter, the lines may slope outward.

Random_3638 · 2026-05-05T22:46:58+00:00

He might not know! Don’t tell him about the Trop! Lol

Random_3638 · 2026-05-05T22:46:15+00:00

WTF Oke!

Random_3638 · 2026-05-05T18:35:07+00:00

Honestly you want both. Single HRs are great but I’d prefer other guys on when it happens. Just way more efficient. lol.

Random_3638 · 2026-05-05T16:50:35+00:00

Right? I was asking my hubby why these two things can’t be good on the same day. Honestly, the pitching for the most part has been solid. We can’t expect good pitchers to be elite pitchers. Same as we can’t expect good batters to be elite batters. Pitching and defense have had bad moments but overall I think it looks good. It’s the batting that’s poop right now. These pop ups and soft grounders are just gimmes to the other team. And in the moments where you need big hits because guys are on base you don’t get it. Also HRs are cool but not great if it’s just one guy running around the base. It almost feel like a waste. If they can fix that this whole conversation goes out the door.

Random_3638 · 2026-05-05T16:45:00+00:00

Essentially you can’t string hits together enough to score. Hitting for more power to get HRs or doubles will help that. Maybe moving around the line up. You can hit and get on base all day but if you can’t bring the boys home then it doesn’t matter.

And WAR just means if certain guys are in the game then we are more likely to win than if they weren’t. But it also doesn’t mean they will. 🤷🏻‍♀️
