Why did the Blue Jays lose to the Cubs and what were the key issues?
Fun day to be Owen Casey. I think the Chicago Cubs top prospect, according to multiple reports, including from Ben Nicholson-Smith, will get called up today to make his major league debut against his hometown, Toronto Blue Jays, as the Toronto Blue Jays look to spoil that. debut by taking a series against the cubs today the jays dropped one four to one last night so today he'll settle the series at 307 in addition to owen casey it'll be blue jays legend matthew boyd against blue jays legend max scherzer who's been so good lately i'm really excited for this one yesterday's game less exciting this is jay stock plus blake murphy and julia kreutz julia
yes
how are you doing
You know, yesterday's game was not super exciting. Thanks for bringing the energy to start the game. And honestly, starting on a positive here, talking about Owen Casey, you mentioned it.
We love CanCon. The
local boy. I mean, I'm so, so glad that he gets to actually be here for his debut. I know that it's kind of a weird one. It is a rubber match. It's a day game. I'm sure that the turnaround is a bit extreme for him, but... Yeah, what a moment. I expect a lot of reporters from both sides in that eventual scrum today.
Yeah, and we'll see how the timing of all of that shakes out. My guess is it will not shake out, fortunately, for you and I.
No.
However, you know, quick jaunt down the 401 from Pickering. I hope that his family and things like that... can get here for anyone. I mean, we've talked about on Casey a lot this year, one, because we try to shine a light on the top Canadian prospects like Casey and like Jonah Tong over in New York, but also he was one of the most popular names ahead of the trade deadline. The Chicago Cubs opted to keep him. I was a little, you know, a lot of the national reporters and people who speculate on trades thought Casey would make some sense because he is an outfielder and the Cubs have, A lot of those. Yeah, they have Kyle Tucker and Pete Crow Armstrong and Ian Happ. And if they needed a fourth one, they have, say, a Suzuki.
And first base can't. One of those guys can't move to first one because the outfielders are all pretty good. And then Michael Bush is there. So where does he play?
How did Owen Casey’s debut impact the game and local fans?
Unfortunately, this is probably coming due to the Miguel Amaya injury yesterday. For anyone who missed it, Miguel Amaya trying to beat out an infield single. Bad landing with left foot on bag had to be carted off the field. The Cubs were carrying three catchers because Amaya had just been activated off the IL just yesterday. And, yeah, so it seems this will be the move to add another bench bat. I'd imagine if you're going to rush and call him up and it's his hometown, you're probably going to start him today. I don't know who comes out of the game, but it should be fun. And, yeah, for anyone who doesn't know, one of the top outfield prospects in all of baseball, second-round pick back in 2020, who has just torn the cover off the ball at AAA this year, hitting just shy of .300 at .289, OPSing .955, and he's already hit 22 homers.
and 26 doubles at the AAA level. So a guy who has very much looked ready for the next challenge. Big picture, some questions about, you know, is he going to hit lefties well enough that he's not just a platoon guy? Won't matter today because you're going to see Max Scherzer, and I'd imagine Mesa Flew already is down. So we will talk a lot about yesterday's game still, but wanted to start with the Canadian kid, the Pickering kid, because that should be a cool moment down there a little later today.
And just because you mentioned Miguel Amaya, the Cubs after the game, Craig Council said it was just a sprained ankle and the x-rays actually came back negative. So I don't know.
Well, that's a relief given how it looked. Maybe they'll give
him an MRI as well
because it did look pretty bad. I mean, he's going on the
IL
for
sure. Yeah. Oh, yeah. But it doesn't seem, at least for now, that this will be, you know, potentially it's not even season-ending, right? Which, at the time, it really, it did really raise some questions about whether or not Miguel Maya would be even part of the Cubs' postseason run here.
