1. WE’RE FINALLY BACK

2. foirst

3. W

4. People don't look close enough at Davis stats the obp takes him way up the list and it's hard to hit that good with a third of a season worth of at bats

5. 90
   plus

6. NOW WE GO

7. 200 hits

8. Two run single beats a solo shot

9. I’d rather the 200 hits and a couple of homers lmaooo you cant win all the games with just hitting homers

10. Johnny did it! He found a Jays hat I like.

11. They talked on the broadcast today about Jesus probably getting the nod opening day because of his elite bat speed (and Severino will be on the bump throwing 98 mph), compared to Lukes (whereas the latter is great at fighting off nasty breaking balls but doesn’t have that elite bat speed ). Definitely sounds like Davis is a lock to be the last man on the roster but the argument for having to do a double switch if you bring in Eloy is going to be the same for Davis late in the game (still going to be replaced by Straw defensively). Davis didn’t have great numbers against lefties last year, wasn’t that lefty crusher we hoped he could be. I’m a big fan of his and I’m rooting for him but his swing looks incredibly long right now and he looks pretty lost at the plate, he has the options so I would have preferred they sent him down to start the year just to get regular AB’s until he finds his stroke and confidence at the plate. Could have platooned Eloy against lefties and had Jesus hit only righties which is by far his strength… problem is how do yo find at-bats for Lukes who deserves the playing time and is a better defender than either one of those guys.

    Considering who the Jays have locked up for the foreseeable future on the infield, I would think it would be in the players/clubs best interest to see if they can get Kasevich a few reps at a corner outfield position. He’s already a plus defender at every position he plays on the infield, but that would make him a super utility option like Davis going forward because there won’t be any full-time position available on the infield anytime soon with gold glovers around the entire infield.

12. It sucks that Trey got limited run in spring because he likely didn't get much chance to work on his curveball.

13. five days, ladies and gentlemen.

    let's play ball.

14. I don’t see Lukes v Sanchez as either-or. They have different strengths I can see it being a fairly even split.

    June is tough so one might get more ABs if they are rolling and beyond that July 31 might have something to say about it but the Jays are pretty good at matching people with who’s on the bump.

    For now it’s still a friendly competition imo.

15. Buffalo Bisons are going to rake. Those guys might not have huge upside but they are really good players for AAA.

16. I will never recover from the World Series. Part of my love for the sport and the team died that night. I haven’t watched much of your content since the end of Game 6 but I’m still here, still a fan, but it hurts.

17. WE’RE SO BACK

18. If Vladdy has around 45+ doubles, I'd take 200 hits over 35 homers. His 2024 numbers are pretty much my standard expectation season for him.

19. Last Sunday of g14 content not talking regular season results Lfg

20. When you include the play-offs Barger had around a .700 OPS against lefties last year.

21. Johnny your personality is SO GREAT> But the swearing could chill a little! It doesn't look professional

22. The Springer home run was the greatest sports moment in Toronto… ever? Aside from the 92/93 world series.

23. love you guys

24. I hope we aren’t talking about the Springer homerun. Because if we win this year, it is not being talked about

25. maybe we can be a team that doesnt care about the regular season. if we can keep 3 top tier pitchers on ice for a month, have a 45 home run hitter come back in september, and then hit the playoffs at full strength from a wild card spot, we will be playing the front office game like the dodgers, and i hear they are pretty good.

26. If you haven’t seen The Wire that show is unreal.
