In the minutiae of our daily lives
You are there in all of them
Grateful for you Kevin 💚

this year, the system is seriously flawed…human highlight reel every night 👀…maybe make the utility GG requirement just ‘more than one position’ 🤷♂️
you could feel this brewing…that is why when Pete went out there I felt that something was going to go down…as a catcher, I’ve been in those situations - pitcher struggling, missed calls, mound visit…had to know he was going to let him have it…but very inappropriate by umpire
Blue Jays player-union rep Ross Stripling “knew we were kind of far away” from a deal but wanted to be optimistic, calling a realtor for spring rental and upgrading bullpen to live BP. “NowI feel stupid that I did that.”
Robert Calvin Siddall was a proud Veteran of the Royal Canadian Air Force & served his country as a wireless radio engineer in WW II. He was stationed in Burma in 1944 and traveled throughout the Middle East, England and Scotland until his discharge in 1946

Legendary Blue Jays broadcaster Buck Martinez named winner of the Jack Graney Award
“When people talk about the Toronto Blue Jays, one of the first names they will mention is Buck Martinez,” said Jeremy Diamond, chair of the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame’s board of directors.

his moves are very different this year compared to ‘21…I think he will challenge for mvp again once he cleans up his mechanics…he can do things others can’t…simple…(compare 2021 on left in dark blue & ‘23 on right in light blue)
Vlad Jr. has a fastball problem. His launch angle on four-seamers in the heart of the plate he's hit to pull side this year? -7 degrees. His overall rate of pulled air balls is down. His FG run value on fastballs has gone from +40 in 2021 to +2 this year.
Now his contact ability…
Vlad is right on here 🎯 ‘when you stare at the person, it’s disrespectful’…I’m all for emotion in the game but focussing your attention at your opponent is not what ‘let the kids play’ should entail
