👉Shane Bieber Blanks White Sox as Jays escape with narrow 1-0 Win.
💻Chalet Stats
👉The Jays haven't won a series against a team over .500 since mid April.
👇3 Biggest Takeaways👇
1️⃣Shane Bieber's rocky start really wasn't concerning.
👉As anticipated, Shane Bieber was on point tonight. Since his first start, everything has been trending in the right direction. He threw 6 scoreless today, and probably could have gone 7 or 8 innings if John Schneider let him. There has been some buzz on whether Shane Bieber would be moved at the deadline, which, if the Jays are that bad, I think is possible, but his first few starts were absolutely nothing to be concerned about. Now if the Jays are in the position at the deadline that they are in now, 2 games out of a playoff spot, I wouldn't move off him. With that being said, it's only one good start, so let's see if he can string together some more
2️⃣Jeff Hoffman should only be used in one spot.
👉Hoffman has obviously proved to us that he can't be the closer for the Jays anymore, but he has also proved to us that he is a solid relief pitcher in innings 5, 6 and 7. You could maybe put him in in the 8th, but never John Schneider, put him in in the 9th.
3️⃣Bats need to show up for every game until the deadline.
👉It's now or never for the Jays, that's why our bats need to show up every game. It's an obvious takeaway, but a win Sunday and at least 3 wins in the Rays series is essential for the Jays playoffs hopes to live on.
💭Blue Jays Questions...
🔥Is this an overreaction, or is Vladdy heating up?
👉He is 100% heating up. 1 HR isn't enough to bust a slump for Vladdy, he's hit 2, almost 3 tonight, and that hit ended up being the game winning run in the long run. Vladdy's heating up for real now, and it's only a matter of time until he returns to his 2025 self.
