for this series,

Jays 3 starting pitchers = ~$50M AAV

O’s 3 starting pitchers = $2.25M AAV for 2023

Don't worry. If things start to look tough, all Hyde has to do is talk to Schneider enough to make him forget how many times a Blue Jay coach has visted the mound and then pick a new pitcher!

They cut to Schneider at one point last night and the guy looked like he wanted to crawl into a hole and never come out. His seat might be pretty warm.

That's one reason I love the O's.  We're the Moneyball team.  Well, not exactly.

Berrios has kept the runs off the board last 3 turns, but the peripherals have gone south.

All the same stuff from yesterday about Bassitt applies to Berrios too for the races between the Adley and Vlad teams this decade.     The Jays have more or less put all their pillars in place, and I believe they will have a tough time keeping Matt Chapman with Vlad/Bo both still tick tocking through Arb.

I hadn't noticed day game Thursday until last night, so come 7pm it is one of those 2 games in 20 hours mid-week times.

9 of the next 16 games will be afternoon games and 3 days off sprinkled in between.

Yep, I was just noticing that after tonight, I will only be able to watch 2 Oriole games before next Friday.   There are 3 weekday day games when I am at work, one game on Peacock, and two days off in that span.

The Jays' pitcher tonight has been absolute shutdown the last four starts and he was pretty good before that.  I'm excited to see if we get the good Bradish tonight.  Can hardly wait for 7 o'clock.  

 

Berrios is also 9-0 against the O's. Should be interesting if Bradish can keep pace with him.

This is a very different O's team.

He's still a fantastic pitcher who has actually been really good for his past 7 starts, not 4. I doubt we roll him. Hopefully, we can keep it close.

No argument on his pitching but this isn't the team he beat 9 times.  I said going into this series that this would be a good test which makes it a big series,  I got flamed.

I know Wrigley Field used to have 100% day games when they didn't have lights, but it's odd that this Friday's game won't be at night.

Who would flame you for that? Toronto is under-performing but they are a really talented team and this series is no cakewalk.

Seriously, I was flamed for saying this was an important series.  So i gave the guy four or five reasons why it's important.  One reason I didn't mention is "Big Mo."  We take this series we play NY with the wind at our back.  Psychological momentum is very important in my view.

I think all their Friday home games are day games.

They tend to play their night games on Mon-Thu for the most part, assuming they don't get a ESPN Sunday Night game or something like that.

Tough loss but we battled and had few chances late to get the big hit late but couldn’t do it.  Berrios was just on his game tonight and got ahead and threw strikes.  Sometimes you just get beat by a pitcher on his game.

Need to win tomorrow to keep the momentum on our side.
