The Toronto Blue Jays just won a series against the Arizona Diamondbacks; however, it didn't end the way that they would have liked. Kevin Gausman has not looked the same this year, and fans are starting to wonder if it is time to worry.

We discuss all of that and the upcoming series with our buddy Scott from the Walkoff Podcast in this one!---------------------------------------------------------------------------------JOIN US JUNE 24TH 5PM AT AMSTERDAM BREWHOUSE TO WATCH THE BLUE JAYS!Reserve Your Spot Using The Link Below.

Athletics vs. Toronto Blue Jays MLB Pick Prediction by Tony T. Athletics at Blue Jays 1:37PM ET—JP Sears gets the start for Athletics. Sears got eleven starts with an ERA of 5.18 with WHIP of 1.27.

The Blue Jays won a series in Texas by scoring just four runs, and while normally that would be cause to celebrate some extraordinary pitching performances, that certainly doesn't feel like what we just witnessed. The Jays and Rangers were abysmal offensively over the three games, with Toronto batters going a staggering 2-for-31 with runners in scoring position. Ugly stuff!But RISP numbers are so dependent on luck that, even though they greatly help to tell the story of individual games, they're barely worth talking about without also addressing the offence as a whole. So that's exactly what we do, before moving relatively quickly on to topics like the resurgence of Bowden Francis and Kevin Gausman, whether Daulton Varsho should get a contract extension, and more!

En el episodio de hoy de Baseball News, abordamos un tema candente que podría cambiar el rumbo de los Yankees: 1. Munetaka Murakami en la mira de los Yankees: El poderoso slugger japonés, Munetaka Murakami, podría ser el próximo gran fichaje de los Yankees. Con 56 jonrones en 2022 y una Triple Corona en la NPB, Murakami ha sido comparado con leyendas como Hideki Matsui. Aunque su defensa en tercera base es cuestionable, su versatilidad le permite jugar en primera base y en el jardín izquierdo. Los Yankees, con un vacío evidente en la tercera base y sin una solución inmediata en su sistema de ligas menores, podrían ser el destino ideal para Murakami una vez que sea posteado por los Tokyo Yakult Swallows al finalizar la temporada 2025 . 2. Otros titulares destacados: Francisco Lindor conecta un elevado de sacrificio para que los Mets dejen en el terreno a los Medias Blancas. Anthony Volpe impulsa la victoria de los Yankees sobre los Angels con un doblete clave. Shohei Ohtani inicia el juego con su jonrón número 19 de la temporada, liderando a los Dodgers sobre los Guardians. Jackson Chourio y Andrew Monasterio impulsan a los Cerveceros en su triunfo ante los Medias Rojas. Manny Machado conecta un jonrón clave en la octava entrada y los Padres dejan tendidos a los Marlins en once entradas. Keider Montero brilla desde la lomita en la victoria de los Tigres sobre los Gigantes. Kevin Gausman lanza ocho sólidas entradas y Daulton Varsho conecta un jonrón en el triunfo de los Azulejos sobre los Rangers. #MunetakaMurakami #Yankees #MLB #BaseballNews #ShoheiOhtani #FranciscoLindor #AnthonyVolpe #MannyMachadoConviértete en un seguidor de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/con-las-bases-llenas-podcast-de-beisbol--2742086/support.
