On the Blue Jays' new ace, Springer's dinger, a whale of 10th inning, Jordan Romano, Alejandro Kirk, Raimel Tapia, Jim Thome, Matt Chapman, podcast changes, injury updates, and more!
Did you know that last year Raimel had the lowest fly ball percentage, at 16.4% in the whole league? I was worried ....
Also this 14 pitcher thing. Does this mean that the roster itself will be larger (27 not 26) or will that stay at 26 (but 14 slots can be for pitchers)?
I didn’t know he was the lowest, but I knew it was a problem and have been encouraged by the number of times he’s put the ball in the air this year so far — even if he’s not really doing a ton of damage as yet.
His ground ball rate is still a bit high at 54%, but down from 67%, so that’s good!
What a game! Such perfect timing here in Australia to lie on the couch laid low with Covid and watch this gem for most of the day. I always listen to the Boston feed when we play them as I love listening to Eckersley - and he loves Gausman and high cheese for sure. Funny how Romano's velocity spiked as soon as Nick Ashbourne's analysis came out. Nice to see those 99's.

Lol. Definitely nice to see Romano back looking right — I blame Nick as well. Lol.
What time do games start where you are man?
Also feel better with the Covid! I know from experience that it sucks!
A 7:07 pm start is a 9:07 am start for me...perfect! Although it can clash with work productivity...
Oh man that’s perfect!
