Aaron Boone saying “the haters said I couldn’t do it. And they were correct. Honestly great call from the haters”

Nobody on, nobody out, throw a strike Dominguez. Cripes.

Dave Church @davechurch.bsky.social · 4h

3 non-competitive ABs after Barger gets a double. Schlittler is dealing.

Dave Church @davechurch.bsky.social · 6h

On brand

Dave Church @davechurch.bsky.social · 6h

Are you running it, or just playing?

Dave Church @davechurch.bsky.social · 6h

The only question is where will it rank on the Petrino/Tuberville scale of cowardice in quitting (I know Petrino quit the pros to go back to college, but still)

Grinding it out with good D, always a good strategy. As long as the Jays handle their wood and work deep, they should be fine

Danny @middaughsome.bsky.social · 14h

I think if the Jays play their game, grind out at bats and play good D, they have a good chance of winning tonight.

Dave Church @davechurch.bsky.social · 14h

Pour one out for Louis Varland, who might pitch every day at this rate

Dave Church @davechurch.bsky.social · 14h

Honestly a shame there was no baseball somehow. Well, at least there's a new game with absolutely no baggage or dread for us to put on it

Dave Church @davechurch.bsky.social · 1d

I agree. But I don't think they'll do it. opener/Lauer and hope the bats are better

Dave Church @davechurch.bsky.social · 1d

Springer had a tough one today, fo sho. We'll get em tomorrow

Dave Church @davechurch.bsky.social · 1d

Santander had some good ABs, much to my surprise. Would not oppose him DHing, but maybe light his glove on fire

Dave Church @davechurch.bsky.social · 1d

Can we still do the trebuchet thing

Dave Church @davechurch.bsky.social · 1d

Shoot IKF out of a trebuchet

Dave Church @davechurch.bsky.social · 1d

Gotta feel good about their chances if they have better ABs tomorrow, and don't need eleventy billion bullpen innings

Dave Church @davechurch.bsky.social · 1d

Tough one. Another game tomorrow. Do you go Gausman on short rest, and Yesavage on regular for game 5? Or are we chancing a bullpen game after this disaster?

Dave Church @davechurch.bsky.social · 1d

No quit. Lots of game left, Vlad will come to the plate two or three more times though if I were the Yankees I'm giving him absolutely zero to hit

Jays bullpen had been much better the last few weeks, but part of the risk with modern playoff-style management is that chances are volatile relief arms will have some rough ones here and there.

Dave Church @davechurch.bsky.social · 1d

The lead could change like seven times with these bullpens

Does Hoffman go three innings, or

Dave Church @davechurch.bsky.social · 1d

Lots of game left. Coolcoolcool, coolcoolcoolcool

Dave Church @davechurch.bsky.social · 1d

On an absolute heater today, Ewan

Dave Church @davechurch.bsky.social · 1d

Luis Rivera-esque send, an absolute heat check that should not have worked but did

CJ Fogler @cjzero.bsky.social · 1d

I cannot believe they sent Vladdy here but he made it, the leap into the slide is 🤌🏼

Dave Church @davechurch.bsky.social · 1d

I mean, maybe after the game

Dave Church @davechurch.bsky.social · 1d

More like Err-on Boone

Dave Church @davechurch.bsky.social · 1d

Barger can stay in and play IKF's position, absolutely the right call there
