I’d rather see Romano blow a save opportunity…

No home runs though. 🤷♂️
Adversity doesn’t stop a contender, it sharpens one. The #Jays may be banged up now, but seasons aren’t won in April or May. They’re forged through bruises, belief, and big swings. 149 games left to chase the Commissioner’s Trophy into October. ⚾️🍁💪

Remember when everything was terrible back on Tuesday?
#Bluejays are looking for a 3rd straight win and to get back to .500 with a reasonably healthy Eric Lauer on the mound. Tough task in Joe Ryan.
First day off for Kazuma Okamoto.
More great DLF content. Woodward was a blast from the past! Great hearing from new and old #Jays. 💯🍁⚾️
I’ll be there with a hot take!
If it weren’t for bad luck, the #Jays would have none; except maybe those 77 penny hot dogs for fans. Does Vladdy only hit superstar mode under brightest lights, like the ’25 playoffs or WBC? Toronto needs a tide that lifts all boats. If not him, who?
Offense stalled early in ’25. The talent’s there, it’ll rebound. Injuries happen; good teams adjust. Losses are easier when the effort shows. Leave the knucklehead stuff to the Rays, they do it better. #Jays
New catcher, new chapter. Losing streak? Consider it caught and thrown out at second. #Jays #FreshMojo
Easy there, Sophocles. It’s a game, not a Greek tragedy. Maybe try perspective, and a hint of humanity.
Remember 2025? The Jays lost a few early games, the bullpen got overworked, offense disappeared for weeks…and then they remembered how to hit. Losing 2 of 3 to the Rockies? Just Wednesday afternoon nostalgia. #Jays #SlowBurn ⚾️🍁
The #BlueJays have incredible medical support, but I doubt there’s an MRI at Rogers Centre. Curious how imaging gets handled in Toronto? In the U.S., cash (or connections) moves most to the front of the line. ⚾️💸
The #Jays need Mad Max to go deep tonight, bullpen needs a reset. Let him cook and stack those bonuses. 💯😡⚾️
Smart move betting on himself. If he keeps winning, other teams will call and the Jays will have to step up with a big raise to keep him.
The “Kurtz card draw” in @keeganmatheson.bsky.social’s story plays like a magic trick that misdirects the crowd and hides just how sharp Tyler’s skills really are.
@sportsnet590thefan.bsky.social Listened to the 2/18 JD Bunkis pod on the closer question w/ @bnsbaseball.bsky.social. My read: Louis Varland profiles as the #Jays’ closer-in-waiting. Pitch mix + miss rates + mentality all line up.
Someone convince me I’m wrong.
⚾️🍁💪
Insurance in case Leo Jiménez does not make the most of his opportunities in FL this spring.
Hey @keeganmatheson.bsky.social, time for your first ridiculous hypothetical of the season. Any chance the #BlueJays flip Kaz and Vladdy defensively? Okamoto was considered better at the cold corner and Vlad’s always had love for the hot corner. ⚾️🍁😳
Great DLF episode! Gregor’s take was sobering. Here’s a question for your next pod: Closer talk seems to center on a “by committee,” approach but what about molding Varland into the next Tom Henke? Young, gritty mindset + elite stuff = Jays’ future slam-dunk closer?
I remember when Biggio, Bichette, Vladdy, Jano, and Romano seemed destined to define an era in Toronto. Time (and baseball) has a way of softening those promises.

Whiplash week as a #Jays fan: first Buck’s #BlueJays era ends (Barker in the booth?), then a bounce-back bat is shelved for 6 months, then Loperfido, my breakout pick, is gone in a trade. I asked the baseball gods for excitement in ’26. Should’ve been more specific. ⚾️💫
Bassitt’s all in on bringing pitchers in offensive role back, fitting, since he’s hitting Jays fans right in the heart by joining the Orioles.
Chris Bassitt is still unsigned. He could probably hit more homers than Santander will in 2026.
@langtontr.bsky.social Was listening to the latest Flippin’ Bats pod and at 14:44, @benverlander.bsky.social had a verbal stumble and dropped your name during the Skubal arbitration talk. Easily the best part of my day! #Flippin’Bats #BestPartOfMyDay
