Schneider >> IFK.
I know that Davis is not a star in the league..by far...he's a Biggio with more power.....but he's a better option than IFK...and it's not even close.
Give the corner between Clement and Turner.
I would rather Schneider over Varsho in left....

Its just such a hard team to like after so many years of them looking like a fun team on the rise.
Its one thing to say they need to grow up and bring in stability.
But when that leads to less winning its a terrible look for fans in what is an extremely boring sport to follow when your team isnt fun to watch.
I feel like they've sucked the personality out of Vladdy. The guy almost won the MVP and was put under a microscope for his weight and defensive play. As his weight has come down and his defence has improved his numbers have fallen.
How much good can a Mattingly really be doing for this team? Or Schneider?
I'm at a point where if Vladdy's stat line by September doesnt match last years .264/26HR/94RBI/.345OBP then he's 3 years removed from that MVP runner up with .311/48HR/111 RBI/.401 OBP and on his way to his 3rd straight regression and some new everything is needed around him....manager, hitting coach, and someone else to hit in front of him.

Blue Jay batters are a stubborn bunch and Davies should get some 2B playing time ...I really dont care too much for the manager Schneider and Vladdy should be hitting in the 3/4/5 slot ... in any case it is way too early but still frustrating to watch

Nice win in NY.
Got more innings from Kikuchi then I expected.
Glad to see Schneider in the lineup.

Watching today's game reminded me just how bad Angel Hernandez is as a umpire...

That Varsho trade really hurts, little bit more every game it seems. he can't hit anything. Meanwhile Gurriel and Moreno are off to a great start. Starters have been unreal to date besides Bowden, it'll come though. Not easy to start your career in two games vs the stros and yanks.

KK is solid in CF...but absolutely terrible at the plate.
Kirk needs a break...but until DJ returns, he may not. DJ did DH with Buffalo yesterday and did hit a grand slam...hopefully he's back soon.
Mayza is so off his game. His velocity is way down to date and it showed yesterday.
Have been impressed with Biggio so far....and I also like Clement.
Garcia looked very good on the mound yesterday.
Bring on the Rockies.

Bring on the Rockies. Biggio finally looks like what we were hoping he could when he arrived its just taken some time to get there. Some of the veteran adds by management over the years seem to over emphasize some metric and downplays others. Kiermaier and Chapman both great defensively. And both make (or made) me want to throw the remote at the TV 3 out of every 5 plate appearances or so. Turner is already someone I love watching hit. But should probably mostly DH. What Vladdy has improved on defensively since 2022 he's fallen off on offensively. I think getting Jansen back will be a big boost. They just seem to have better balance when both of those catchers are around the team and in the lineup.

Vladdy has been underwhelming at the plate....aside from his occasional long ball. Donnie Baseball said a few days ago that he doesn't see this team as a big power hitting team....but a team who could have a few players who hit over 20 hrs. Bichette, Vladdy, Turner, Springer....Varsho struggles but he too has hit 20+ the past two seasons. Also, it will be better getting Swanson and Romaro back off the dl. And as you said, having both Jansen and Kirk healthy and splitting time....it will help the team and keep both players fresh.
