After the last few series most things seem ... pretty good to me. I could squint and look for areas of improvement (they are there) but instead I think I will just enjoy this next stretch of very winnable games until the Barves/Yankees in mid-May. Winning is fun and the prospect of future winning is also fun? Does this seem like a good approach to you or is there anything that has you genuinely concerned right now?
There’s a sort of implicit assumption in general that we’re going to make the playoffs. But should we be worried about the Orioles? Or teams in the AL West that get to play the A’s more frequently? Or is this a way too early question…
Hey Stoet! For the record, best baseball writing on the internet. I’ll let you take this time to tell me why Romano is an elite reliever. I’m not sold.
After seeing Chris Bassitt leave the game early with a back injury tonight, it begs the question of who the hell would they call up to replace an inured starter? They are still terribly thin in the upper minors.
Do you have any thoughts on the Jays seemingly trading being a team that had large positive run differentials but maybe underperformed them, to now looking more like a team that could have a weaker run differential but outperform that. It seems like more regimented base running and sharper defence may squeak out closer games (plus a better bullpen?) but I’m not as convinced this offence will be overpowering. Is this just an early season overreaction or should Rogers strike up a deal with a heart care pharmaceutical?
Should the Jays consider picking up another left handed reliefer? Mayza, nor Richards, are what anyone would feel comfortable putting into a high leverage situation.

Jays biggest issue isn’t bullpen it’s running biggio or merrifield out there. Any targets out there to improve jays biggest weakness?
Need Nate here permanently. Richards and cimber not the quality we need to be a true contender
