    Jays had 18 hits vs the Red Sox! Shutout the Sox too.

    Nice to have Dolis back. Slowly Jays will get guys back. Hopefully in June we can have a healthy team. To think, they're top 5 in the AL despite not having a single game this season with a fully healthy team, with some key guys being out at various points.

      It is ridiculous how gifted Ohtani is.

        Oh and **** Larussa. I hope the whole team turns on him now.

        Saw Tim Anderson had Yerwin's back. Got news for LA Russa. You're more expendable then Tim Anderson and Mercedes. So shut your mouth.

          Turns out they're called "C Flaps".

          I could see it becoming a big trend, maybe grandfathered in if needed in the future.

          I know in hockey, guys would get hit in the face so often from pucks or sticks. Some guys wore visors, but others never wanted to because they said the visor impacts your vision. Eventually it was grandfathered in and guys dont seem to care or complain (it helps that the rule has been around for years now, so you dont have many who even played before that was a rule).

          The C Flaps are used by more and more guys, many big name guys too, so even more reason why I could see it being added in. Minor leagues and below should all be using it too.

            And another no-hitter. Spencer Turnbull blanked the Mariners for the 8th no-no in Tigers history.

              8th is subjective

                I've seen some truly awful seasons out of the Twins, but none even come close to how disappointing this one is.

                  Tatis goes on IL. Comes back and hits a HR. The game is so blessed with talent right now.

                      Awesome rally set up by walking the 8 hitter to force the Braves to pinch hit and take out Morton

                        Mets outfielders have stolen a number of would be extra base hits this series.

                          They can’t hit when they’re healthy, might as well just keep trotting out their best defenders and let the pitching carry the team

                            Why are you stealing third? This is the dumbest team to ever play the game.

                              I hate to criticize small ball, but I did not understand that whole sequence. Heredia has been one of the best hitters on the team, and you're bunting with him? Ok, I guess it puts the go ahead run on 3rd with 1 out with a good pinch hitter and Acuna as the next 2 up.

                              But then you try stealing 3rd with a left handed batter up and Acuna on deck?

                                Dansby stealing there makes literally zero sense at all. If you're fast enough to think you can steal third, you're fast enough to score from 2nd on any hit that finds outfield grass. The risk was 100x higher than the reward.

                                This dumb team found a way to only score 1 run in that entire half inning when the ball kept trying to go their way.
