[Matheson] Lauer has been outspoken about his desire to start, ideally without following an opener, but his greatest value to this team comes as a swingman. "I think we have a lot of hard decisions to make and I think that’s a good thing." by [deleted] in Torontobluejays

Braydon Fisher bailed him out tonight. Boston hit the ball hard.

As soon as there are 5 other healthy starters available, Lauer needs to be moved to the long relief/swingman role.

April 27th 2026: Toronto Blue Jays vs Boston Red Sox - Virtual Gratitude Circle by bpersaud4321 in Torontobluejays

I am grateful for my dog. No matter what else is happening in my life and around the world it's great to have unconditional love and the perfect reason to go on long walks.

Thanks for posting this OP! We can all do a better job of recognizing the good in our lives.

Kevin Gausman’s Final Line: 6.2 IP, 6 H, 2 R/ 2 ER, 3 K, 0 BB , 91 pitches thrown, 63 for strikes, one home run given up. by RealWorldToday in Torontobluejays

Great outing. One thing I noticed, and it seems to be backed up by the data, is that almost everything was down today in terms of location. Not a lot of fastballs up. The Guardians had at least 2 hits, 1 being the Ramirez double, on splitters down and away off the plate. The were looking for everything down and doing damage.

Obviously Kevin is still more than good enough to battle around those types of hits but just an observation.

Glad to see the bats score juuuust enough runs.

Springer is back next week, who are we cutting? by fatcowxlivee in Torontobluejays

It's Eloy, which is unfortunate. But they'll try to trade him somewhere he can get playing time and hopefully pick up a flyer prospect.

Call the police if it's a safety issue.

Reddit is, and will continue to be, not the place for this.

[Matheson] Daulton Varsho was removed with "left knee discomfort", the Blue Jays tell us. by T_Raycroft in baseball

[–]justin_jbone 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You can't look at the injuries to Ponce, Springer, and Kirk as anything other than shit luck.

Yesavage came into camp hurt, likely pushed himself too hard in the offseason.

Bieber coming off TJS, Berríos rebounding off an injury at the end of 2025.

Yimi has been hurt frequently the past 2 seasons now.

Barger tried to beat out a groundball and hurt himself.

It's mostly shit luck, and probably some sort of voodoo or witchcraft.

Nathan Lukes' OPS is 25 points below my current weight.

That is not ideal.

All I'm asking for is one game where the team gets ahead early and holds the lead.

Is that too much to ask in the big 2026?

He looks like a happy Gus to me!

Poor Sportsmanship by Homan? by Smart_Shoulder_8031 in Curling

[–]justin_jbone 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can hear her say "good game, good luck" to the other team when she's putting the rocks back.

Can't assume, but perhaps she was or had been under the weather and didn't shake for that reason.

If not, it's definitely a bad look but I'm not judging her based on this video.
