Good challenge by Amaya.

Matt Shaw has 15 homeruns in 332 PAs since last year's ASB.  27 dong pace.  120 wRC+ over that time before today, so call it 122 right now?

I'm not super confident with him against some tougher righties, but dude is good and lining up for an everydayish OFer job next year IMO.

If he's willing to stick in RF he probably will be an everyday starter next year. One of Happ or Suzuki is probably gone

More horsefeathers batted ball luck for Nico.

[Bull]

Nico needs some time off.  Ramirez and Comforto need ABs. Ok maybe just Ramirez.

Hopefully just one, really don't want an Alcantara/Shaw corner OF duo.

Nah, that was a Jim Edmonds slide.

[Illiterate Scholar]

I also think Shaw is going to turn into a sneaky really good (great?) RFer by the metrics, if given the chance, with his athleticism. 

[Bull]

Best defensive infield in baseball.

He deserves it.

i can just picture the game thread on whatever blue jays board there is screaming about getting perfect game'd by some 5 era scrub

[Bull]

Looking at boxscores from the boston series, Toronto bullpen is probably cooked. they may have a long man try to go multiple innings this game. Should give the cubs a good chance to add on.

I’d extend Suzuki and give him LF and Shaw RF.

Could be neither if one not willing to take a 1 yr deal, everything depending on the CBA situation and how it affects the offseason/season. But if Shaw a guy for the OF with PCA, I could see them adding a 1 yr player to bridge the gap for Hartsorn jump in 2028.

I dont know if they believe in Alcantara enough to be an everyday guy, just feels like they dont care to give him that opportunity when he is up.

[Nolansomebody]

Corbin’s getting out

[We Got The Whole 9]

Congratulations on taking your walk after you swung at 4 pitches at least a foot off the plate, Nico

[Derwood]

Cubs are really running up the pitch count the last two games

[JHBulls]

That’s unfortunate. 😞

[chibears55]

Damn, just didn't slice enough

[Derwood]

Hard but to the wrong spot

[UMFan83]

Bregman is sooooooo slow

[chibears55]

Go get Rea, hes lost it

[cl smooth]

coming into today's game, PCA is hitting .433 in the month of june. 👀👀👀
