Happy Good Friday, Baseball Fans!

As we celebrate Good Friday today, it’s hard not to think about the age-old joke every comedy troupe has tackled: "Why do they call it Good Friday?" But let’s shift gears and talk baseball—today's Blue Jays game is exclusively on Apple TV!

Jays Updates: What’s Happening?

In a bit of disappointing news for fans, yesterday saw Davis Schneider optioned back. Here’s hoping he can find his swing again; a solid right-handed bat would be a game-changer for the team. Although confidence may be waning regarding his resurgence, the start of his MLB journey gives reason to believe he’ll be given every chance to shine once more.

On a brighter note, Nathan Lukes is returning to the lineup today. It must be tough to leave your new baby just two days in, but the excitement of Major League Baseball awaits.

Roster Implications: The Game Ahead

The question now is whether Addison Barger will continue to see playing time with Lukes back in action. This could be a pivotal moment for both players.

Wishing Luck to Zach Pop

In other news, Zach Pop has signed a minor league deal with the Mariners. We wish him all the best as he recovers from elbow inflammation and works his way back to pitching.

Meet the Rising Star: Arjun Nimmala

Over at Sportsnet, Shi Davidi recently profiled Arjun Nimmala, a player to watch as his career unfolds. Nimmala shared insights on making small adjustments to enhance his performance, emphasizing a feel-based approach that allows him to leverage his natural strengths.

His Grapefruit League outings were nothing short of impressive; he smashed a 96.3 mph fastball from Pirates pitcher Yohan Ramirez, sending it rocketing at 105.6 mph off the netting beyond the outfield walkway. Additionally, he turned heads with a double against the New York Yankees, all while soaking up strategies from the Blue Jays veterans.

And remember, he won’t even turn 20 until October, so there’s still time before we see him in Toronto!

Apple TV: Suggestions Needed!

I’m curious—how many of you have Apple TV? I’ve binge-watched just about everything on my list and can’t wait for the season to end to drop the subscription again. I did catch a glimpse of the new Jon Hamm series, 'Your Friends and Neighbors.' If you’ve got hidden gems on Apple TV that I might have overlooked, please share!
