AL East Talk

If the jays want to “hit like the Phillies” Atkins needs to go get better offensive pieces to surround our superstars. Not Brandon belt or biggio giving protection to vlad and Bo.

Brandon Belt had a higher wRC+ in 2023 than Vlad, Bo and everyone else on the Jays not named Bryce Harper. Why name him and single him out like this? He did his job and deserved/earned his salary.

Just a frustrating series. Starters looked pretty good against a deep Orioles lineup, but the bullpen and defense let them down big time. Offense was also very meh.

We'll see what the Sox do about SS/2B, because Story's done for the year... and he was pretty much the only hope of providing even adequate defense in the infield (except maybe Rafaela, but we'll see how much infield he plays versus outfield). They should aggressively pursue Adames from the Brewers.

Yep, Sox game 2 & 3 starters gave up a combined 1 run and 6 hits, once O's got to the bullpen it was a different game.

Bello was pitching well until Devers mishandled a ball with two outs (should have been an error) and then Duran lost track of a ball in the sun and he couldn't catch it. The inning should have been over twice, but it didn't and Cowser hit a double to bring them both home.

Sox couldn't get anything going against Burnes though. He's a damn good pitcher.

John Sterling announced his retirement today, Yankees radio announcer for a long time. Does this mean Suzyn Waldman will become play -by-play?
