#BlueJays pitcher Chris #Bassitt has thrown 50 pitches... through 6 innings.

This is not a typo.

It appears to me like two balls have been called strikes against the #BlueJays and three strikes have been called balls for the Mariners leading to all four mariners runs and 22 extra pitches for #Bassitt.

I get that sometimes guys miss things but five incorrect ball-strike calls so far have all been one-sided.

Glad we're winning but it should be 6-0, not 6-4.

Let the players play, not here to watch #MarkCarlson call pitches incorrectly.

If #Tiedemann pitches as well as expected in New Hampshire, and #Berrios, #Bassitt, or others in the #BlueJays rotation struggle, might we see his call up sooner than later?

Personally, I'd rather see him in the rotation than in a trade to bolster the arms, in most reasonable scenarios.

That said, while the bats are alright, and the arms MAY be the issue, I'd be surprised if both #Barger and #Martinez were both Jays by the end of the season too.

#BlueJays2023 Predictions

Bad
1 I think #Berrios may still struggle if less than last year
2 #Bassitt velocity woes impact his success
3 Don't expect a massive turnaround in #Bichette SS defence

Good
1 #Kikuchi will benefit from pitch clock & will K guys at a rate that may bode for at least decent success
2 #Vladdy will RAKE, Bo will have his best offensive season yet
3 #Manoah may regress slightly AND STILL SHINE while #Tiedemann will pitch & will impress
4 Bullpen A-

92-70 - Playoff bound

I like #Bassitt and am reasonably confident his particular skillset can age well, and the deal is reasonable and short... So is it just my general anxiety and self-doubt that makes me fret about his age? #bluejays

Former A's & most recently #Mets pitcher Chris #Bassitt signs 3-year, $63M deal with the #TorontoBlueJays per #ESPN 's Jeff Passan.

Well I'd missed this #Mets news! Changing the rotation dynamic a bit for #newyork but still other than going with one of their younger less experience kid starters, I'd still go out & resign #Bassitt.

So if I were the #Mets should resign the highly underrated #Bassitt & #Senga bc that would be a rotation of#Verlander, #Scherzer & #Cookie #Carrasco?! Yes please!

@kennyherzog @MarkStein agreed but the pressure is now on to sign #verlander or #rodon. Are the Mets going to resign #bassitt? What’s plan c or d? Quintana?
