Calling it at the end of Game 162: @milwaukeebrewers.bsky.social vs. @tampabayrays.bsky.social in WS. Two “small-market” clubs. Two organizations that regard smart decisions and ownership commitment as competitive advantages. Convenient timing, with labor-season talking points already warming up.

Still a solid prediction #Jays

Post game Bateman told @thehazelmae.bsky.social he’s been rotating through coffee shops. Enjoy the anonymity while it lasts. I didn’t want KG traded, but #Jays getting Bateman makes the loss sting a little less.

#Jays are following through on my predication. A few more wins and I might need to buy a lotto ticket.

So, a left handed Davis Schneider. After acquiring a younger Davis Schneider and a plus one for KG. #Jays front office must love the Davis Schneider profile…

Macko moving from #Jays to #Rangers. Didn’t have that on my ‘26 trade deadline bingo card.

Mission accomplished: trade a beloved veteran who wanted to stay for a younger Davis Schneider and a plus-one. I’m sure that’s exactly what the fans filling Rogers Centre had in mind. #Jays Masterclass.

Todd From Minneapolis @toddfrommpls.bsky.social · 03/08/2026
Agreed. The Cubs make plenty of sense though. They’re leading the NL Wild Card race, could use another veteran starter, and the scheduling quirk is nauseating: he could be on the mound against the #Jays in Chicago on Thursday.

Would love to see KG back with #Jays in 2027, assuming baseball is being played. Hard to imagine #MLB and the MLBPA would risk undoing all the momentum the game has built since the last CBA.

#Jays ownership always says fans matter. Here’s the test. Keep Gausman, let the team make its run, and evaluate after the season. Trade Varsho or Sanchez if the return makes sense. Don’t sell your biggest asset to a sold-out stadium.

Todd From Minneapolis @toddfrommpls.bsky.social · 02/08/2026
#Jays (Rogers) should reward a fanbase that keeps selling out the Dome. Trading Gausman and Bieber punts 2026 + there’s no realistic way to replace those innings. Add Detmers and a bullpen arm, take your shot, then repeat the Cease playbook and be first in line for Skubal this winter.

Hot Take! #Jays will rebound after trade deadline to make the rest of the season interesting to watch/listen.

Netflix somehow found a way to make one of baseball’s most inherently fun events feel like a conference call. The #HomeRunDerby doesn’t need constant narration. I didn’t tune in to spend half the broadcast listening to hosts and analysts talk over every swing.

I need good stories to keep tuning in every game. Was last year lightning in a bottle, or just a deep contact lineup, elite defense, and health all peaking in a way you can’t repeat every year?

Is it just injuries and bad luck or poor roster construction?

Manfred hasn’t shown he can consistently hold players accountable. Cavalli escalated this play and by any standard, that’s suspension-worthy. The real question is whether MLB follows through. History says don’t count on it.

I get it, but the Jays haven’t exactly been curators of their own history. Stieb’s a pitching icon, & seeing his number recycled feels a little careless. Some teams honor their past, Toronto’s still catching up.

Todd From Minneapolis @toddfrommpls.bsky.social · 05/06/2026
It isn’t just a number choice, it’s a statement, whether they realize it or not. And the message is clear: history doesn’t matter much at the top.

Baseball is the only sport where a guy can fail most of the time, statistically prove it, and still be considered successful, because everyone else is also failing, just in slightly different ways. ⚾️🤷‍♂️

Rays lost the game but won the moral victory of being correctly undervalued by math.

Todd From Minneapolis @toddfrommpls.bsky.social · 12/05/2026
The #Jays brain trust missed out on Soriano, ultimately deciding their current “vibes-based depth chart” didn’t warrant such extravagance. With no urgency whatsoever in the rotation, they’ll bravely roll forward and see what happens.

Todd From Minneapolis @toddfrommpls.bsky.social · 12/05/2026
García’s thrown like 12 innings since the Mariners deal, so the 2026 hype never really landed for me. Stuff’s fine, not popping. He had a nice groove in Toronto, but it came and went pretty quick.

Breaking: My fantasy team and the #BlueJays have agreed to mirror each other for “competitive balance.” Early returns: troubling. I’ll sacrifice my imaginary GM résumé for a real October run, call me old-fashioned. ⚾️🤷‍♂️💩

Bases loaded, down late, Vlad up. 52% GB, 7° LA isn’t my dream here. I want Okamoto’s 15–18° damage band and pull-side lift. This is about contact quality, not name value & right now Vlad’s shape plays smaller in this exact spot. #Jays #BigOak

Sliding (rolling) across second yesterday and whatever that was at home plate…not exactly a masterclass in fundamentals.

Todd From Minneapolis @toddfrommpls.bsky.social · 25/04/2026
You called it. Bettor outrage attacking players is the dark side of the game. Prop bets are easily the worst part. Most of MLB’s improvements are real (and fun) but the cozy gambling ties are a real downside. ⚾️💸💩

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.

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?

Todd From Minneapolis @toddfrommpls.bsky.social · 04/04/2026
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

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.
