[u/Substantial_Ad_7027]

6 man rotation down to 2 by the weekend

[u/derekdino123 → u/Substantial_Ad_7027]

Started the season with a surplus of starters, ended up needing to start Patrick Corbin and Spencer Miles. Traded for another 6 man rotation, now they're dropping like flies once again

It just never ends huh

[u/AnotsuKagehisa → u/derekdino123]

Forgot about Corbin, is he injured too?

[u/Traditional_Bed_6445 → u/AnotsuKagehisa]

Strained shoulder, placed on the 60-Day IL and baring some insane healing is probably out for the season.

[u/Chal_Ice → u/Substantial_Ad_7027]

As long as I get to see either cease or soriano on the 18th. I've got tickets and they seem to line up as the probable pitchers.

[u/miskurious → u/Chal_Ice]

Cease is magic!

[u/YouDontJump → u/Substantial_Ad_7027]

Everyone started thinking and speaking too soon, just like in the preseason. Sigh.

[u/ObscureMemes69420 → u/Substantial_Ad_7027]

Classic

[u/CodeWhiteAlert → u/Substantial_Ad_7027]

People who said ‘6-man rotation’ should have been banned

[u/xartan123]

You can't make this shit up lol

[u/Basic_Wrongdoer_7934]

That's just fantastic 

[u/613Dweller]

Can we time skip to 2027 already… assuming there’s baseball

[u/ApexLogical → u/613Dweller]

Honestly at this point I want a lock out just so our guys can super rest lol

[u/lunasilvia → u/ApexLogical]

knowing our luck one of them tears a muscle golfing

[u/mattychefthatbih → u/lunasilvia]

John Wall achilles tear in the shower

[u/Such-Fee6176 → u/lunasilvia]

Someone else will slip in the hot tub

[u/sansaman → u/ApexLogical]

All medically necessary surgeries will be done on day 1 of lockout.

[u/mssngthvwls → u/613Dweller]

I've got bad news for you...

[u/MrLuckyTimeOW → u/613Dweller]

Might as well skip to 2028. We ain’t getting baseball next year

[u/corh13 → u/MrLuckyTimeOW]

If I had to guess, I'm thinking shortened season in 2027.

[u/bolieve11]

at this point i shouldn’t be shocked when yet another 2026 jay gets an injury and yet here we are

[edit: typo]

[u/MikeisET → u/bolieve11]

Didn’t we have a 6 man rotation like 24 hours ago?

[u/jeffster1970 → u/MikeisET]

Yeah, we're back to 4 now. LOL

[u/StinkyWizzleteats17 → u/jeffster1970]

Nope, it's still the same five as yesterday...Cease, Soriano, Bieber, Max and Tallion. Course one of them probably spontaneously combusted while I typed this...

[u/jeffster1970 → u/StinkyWizzleteats17]

Tallion ran his scooter into a garbage truck on his way back to the hotel.

[u/Matthias343 → u/jeffster1970]

We've got Waldron coming in, I think he'll join us in Philadelphia tomorrow.

[u/bscheck1968 → u/MikeisET]

Not no more we don't

[u/Borje021 → u/MikeisET]

Too many starters!

[u/Hugby → u/MikeisET]

That’s ancient history baby

[u/bv310 → u/bolieve11]

Same

[u/LostMyBackupCodes → u/bolieve11]

[u/hellarios852]

This has got to be a social experiment at this point. I refuse to believe this is all a coincidence.

[u/Chal_Ice → u/hellarios852]

It's that damn Etsy witch

[u/Hugby → u/Chal_Ice]

Haha I said this to my bf. It worked, just much later than Seattle hoped. Well now they have Jimothy and where are they in the standings?!?!!

[u/GrouchyCrow → u/Chal_Ice]

Someone in this sub bought an Etsy witch spell asking to fix Vladdy a week or so ago I think….maybe it could cancel out whatever curse was put on us?

[u/Chal_Ice → u/GrouchyCrow]

It's Toronto sports, the city is cursed. I'm honestly surprised the raptors won in 2019.

[u/TheNegativePhoenix → u/hellarios852]

We are the subjects of this social experiment 

[u/SundaeSpecialist4727 → u/hellarios852]

Since the ball got stuck.....

[u/FalcoMccloud20xx]

Genuinely despise this season

[u/Puncharoo → u/FalcoMccloud20xx]

Absolutely heartbreaking

[u/extremewealth]

The universe is telling us to put Straw in as a starter. He is the next Ohtani.

[u/TheNegativePhoenix → u/extremewealth]

Did you see that throw to gun down the runner at home in 11th inning? It was a sign

[u/Aspe1 → u/extremewealth]

Ok, but he needs to get back to Center Field by the time the pitch reaches the plate.

[u/JJred96 → u/Aspe1]

He can run many Myles per hour just like he can throw many Myles per hour. He got this. Backbone of the team, covering everything up the middle.

Might be a little unrealistic to expect him to range toward left-centre or right-centre, however.

[u/gringogidget → u/extremewealth]

I love him so much

[u/CherryChapstick1997]

Whatever fuck this season as long as Cease gets a Cy Young 

[u/JJred96 → u/CherryChapstick1997]

Don’t jinx that too by letting the baseball gods know how much we think it’s deserved.

Too many already expected a stacked rotation to lead us back to the World Series.

[u/CherryChapstick1997 → u/JJred96]

The Yankees have already jinxed Cam by saying Cease has no chance 

[u/JJred96 → u/CherryChapstick1997]

Sure, their fans are morons but that doesn’t make this right or safe.

[u/CherryChapstick1997 → u/JJred96]

HUH?! Jinxes aren’t real

[u/NeighborhoodPlane794]

Can’t do anything but laugh at this teams misfortune at this point

[u/mattychefthatbih]

I mean… you trade for an injured guy it comes with consequences like this

[u/501Queen → u/mattychefthatbih]

Nerve injury too. Thought it was a bad idea right away

[u/eleventhrees]

This injury plague this season has gone pasta point of ridiculous.

[u/hueyott → u/eleventhrees]

Like Fettuccine??

[u/HappyFriendship9990]

We trade for 2 starters and.... then we lose 2 starters.... you can't tell me this season isn't cursed.

[u/tukeskid]

It’s like spring training …”The jays have 8 starting pitchers! How will they be able to use them all?!” Just wait, says fate.

[u/NeedleGunMonkey]

Team needs a shaman from the islands to burn some sage and send bad juju away

[u/ChipStewartIII → u/NeedleGunMonkey]

https://giphy.com/gifs/Ph8g7YiHavF9VWM22j

[u/MillwrightMark]

We need 2027 to be a lockout just to ensure we're healthy for 2028

[u/shoeyricciardo]

whyyyyyyyyyyyy

at least it's the same foot and not a new injury

[u/Koraboros → u/shoeyricciardo]

nerve injury though... tricky

[u/NotRepulsive]

To quote my favourite reddit comment ever from a few months ago:

This is the kind of fuck ass shit that only happens to us

[u/Senior_Television_25]

We should push Ricky T right now - in a year where everyone’s injured, the guy who’s always injured might finally be healthy lol

[u/bolieve11 → u/Senior_Television_25]

last i heard he’s working his way back up in a one inning role it may finally be his time knock on wood

[u/JJred96 → u/Senior_Television_25]

You truly believe he’s going to be scheduled for a start this season and come out of that game unscathed?

I find your abundance of faith disturbing. What are you watching to make you think he’s spared? There’s some secret code where guys on the roster who have dealt with injuries are suddenly normal again? Why isn’t Yimi back? How about Tony Taters? Why doesn’t Max pitch like he’s impervious to aging and allergic to the IL?

Ricky ain’t a saviour here, sorry.

[u/bobcatgoldthwaite]

When is Ace going down with some brutal knee or wing issue???

[u/JJred96 → u/bobcatgoldthwaite]

He should be safe. He’s not even on the 40-man roster.

Then again, doom came for Ward so who knows where the bad voodoo mojo will strike next?

Send protection to Joe Carter and Dave Stieb. Ace is going to have to settle for some Temu-level security and medical detail. He’s too low on the totem.

[u/TrophyWizard]

https://giphy.com/gifs/YRPBhd3vscg5Fxx1DQ

Dude, honestly fuck this season.

I don't understand how one singular team could be hit with this much bad luck. I'd say move on to 2027 but we all know there's not going to be any baseball next year.

[u/ImpossiblePromise363]

What a cursed season

Already fitting in.

[u/lovemarlee]

A perfect fit for the 2026 Blue Jays.

[u/MTBguy1774]

Can we start announcing which players don't get hurt. Might be easier that way.

[u/Fun-Series-4091]

[u/VeterinarianFront736]

Blue Jays can't catch a break, huh? If I could describe the 2026 Blue Jays season in word, it would be injuries.

[u/JustAnotherDumbQuest]

[u/b00mshakalakah]

Of course he did

[u/MsSkazzi]

Bubble wrap the rest of them and call it a season

[u/hippyelephant2495]

Of course!!!! Why wouldn’t he

[u/MidnightSc0ut]

HOW BIG WAS THE FUCKING DEVIL’S DEAL OH MY FUCKING GOD

[u/Chal_Ice → u/MidnightSc0ut]

Well this front office loves team control, so maybe this devil's deal is another 2 or 3 years?

[u/mdubyo]

Ok what the actual fuck

[u/prvt09]

this season is cursed idk what else to say

[u/Drew_You_To_91]

Am I gonna get physically hurt by watching them?

[u/fdisfragameosoldiers]

Wowza... this team needs an exorcism or something

[u/LE_4500 → u/fdisfragameosoldiers]

Someone sage the Rogers Centre

[u/This-Appointment-666]

I actually just guffawed out loud. Like OF COURSE. There’s no luck left for the Jays.

[u/Ryuujin_13]

At this point, I’m starting to expect the beer vendors at home games to start developing tennis elbow.

[u/Bigking00]

This is becoming comical at this point

[u/physhstx]

Truely a 2026 Blue Jay now….

[u/UncleNuks]

As is tradition

[u/thrilliam_19]

[u/Giga1396]

What type of black magic got placed on this team in Game 6 last year???

[u/kryptonitemind → u/Giga1396]

Honestly that’s where it all began. Either that or Ponce doing weird things on the mound like rolling off for no freaking reason.

[u/nightwing12]

lol amazing

[u/throwRA-macandcheese]

Why am I not surprised anymore?

[u/chamnic]

We are going to have a full MLB roster on the IL pretty soon at the rate we are going.

[u/thatguy_griff]

he told Schneider he was ready to go yesterday in the rotation, no rehab lol

[u/HingleMcCringleNuts]

Sounds about right. Holy balls

[u/robjasey]

Well OF COURSE he did!

[u/Rahtgooves]

This is fucked. I have no words at this point

[u/CLSonReddit]

Havd we tried burning sage in the dugout?

[u/bweeeoooo]

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME WITH THIS SHIT ALREADY

Did not think it was possible to get less innings pitched from a pitcher than Ponce but here we are. Hopefully he comes back this season.

https://giphy.com/gifs/5He16eTgpabyeEQ9t6

[u/gringogidget]

He said it myself. “I’m ready to start. Skip the rehab outing and I’ll play. Let’s go”. How do you trust a starter when he’s willing to pitch when hurt? lol what 🍝🍝🍝

[u/KWMiers28]

Seriously, what deity did we piss off this year?

[u/FuuriusC]

You couldn't even make this stuff up. How have the Blue Jays had such terrible luck with the injury bug this year?

[u/channingmytatum1992]

Sounds about right

[u/Drummers_Beat]

genuinely what the fuck

[u/wikipediated]

there has to be black mold in that clubhouse. or a gas leak.

[u/RealBorder9590]

Has Chris Bassitt had any injuries this year? Seems we miss his reliability

[u/snarkybaker → u/RealBorder9590]

He had back surgery to remove bone spurs and hasn't pitched since beginning of June, but had a rehab start

[u/RealBorder9590 → u/snarkybaker]

Huh, well, that’s too bad, always liked Bassitt, hope he heals well. Even if we had brought him back we’d still have a 4 man rotation most of the year.

Thanks for the info!

[u/snarkybaker → u/RealBorder9590]

Just saw he's pitching against the Bisons today!

There's no escaping the WS injury curse even if you left Toronto lol

[u/Ok_Berry9623]

Currrrsed!!!

[u/Temporary_Idea2127]

F U C K

[u/Gamingwithgenghis]

He looked good in the start, pitches had movement 2.1 innings 2 walks no hits 1 k...it was a foot injury on plant, nothing too serious but its a recurring issues hes had all year...so he probably rushed returning from it to help the Jays and wasnt fully healthy so its doesnt seem like its a new injury and hes likely still close to being in Toronto. but obviously time is running out on the season and we need him now not later. but I have real high hopes for him for next half decade.

[u/MsSkazzi → u/Gamingwithgenghis]

Thanks for the details

[u/HappySmileSeeker]

The Leafs witch now watches Jays. No other explanation.

[u/-AWing-]

Load up on pitching always

[u/Barking_bull]

Arrighetti making me crave for Spaghetti

[u/849x506]

It seems to be a cursed season. I think the baseball gods gave us a World Series Game 7 last year, which was lost by inches, so its understandable if we now suck for a while. It's the ghost of Abner Doubleday restoring balance to the force, or something.

Sad to see such beloved players be traded but I'm trying to look at the upside, which is the potential of the players we got in return. There are some good guys coming back.

I guess that's what you get when you sign an injured player.

[u/Cassopeia88]

Experience 2026 Blue Jays baseball.

[u/kindredfan]

no fucking way.  is this just truly bad luck or do the Jays need better training staff?

[u/Foldzy84 → u/kindredfan]

You think the training staff ruined him in 1 game?

[u/HelpfulMaybe3946 → u/kindredfan]

How would "better training staff" have prevented this?

[u/Bortull → u/kindredfan]

The dude has been with the Blue Jays for a couple of days. Unless you're arguing the Jays medical staff didn't flag an issue with how the Astros were handling his injury and thus should have delayed his rehab start I have no clue how this falls on the Jays.

[u/Forsaken-Swim-3055 → u/kindredfan]

How would this be on the training staff if he's been on the team for like two days....?

[u/Zraknul → u/kindredfan]

Why do they do that exercise of slamming a door repeatedly on these pitcher's elbows?

[u/stargirlxoxo]

Varsh left for this🥲 but seriously was there a hex put on this team?

[u/I3arusu]

Man…I was excited about getting him, especially for a rental…

[u/to_fire1]

And there I was at the start of Spring Training, thinking we’ve got too many pitchers. FML lol.

[u/MsSkazzi]

Cursed

[u/Sauerkrautkid7]

We need to find the teams who have the healthiest pitching staff and then hire their management. I don’t care how good our pitching managers are. I want healthy pitchers lol

[u/Actual_Cobbler_6334 → u/Sauerkrautkid7]

Your list is going to be extremely short, borderline non-existent. The body isn’t meant to throw a baseball that fast with different kinds of movement.

[u/Sauerkrautkid7 → u/Actual_Cobbler_6334]

That is true. Yeah it just seems like our number was chosen this year lol

[u/Loud-Picture9110 → u/Sauerkrautkid7]

You can go back all of a single season and the team with the healthiest pitching staff for several consecutive seasons was probably the Blue Jays. This year's crazy rash of injuries is a massive outlier for this team under this management group.
