On May 2nd, the Toronto Blue Jays got a solid 7 innings from Dylan Seas and their 11-4 win over the Twins at Target Field. Seas struck out 7, allowed 4 runs with 3 earned, proving he can go deep without piling up double digit k's. It's got fans and the team debating that classic pitcher dilemma. Do you want 5 innings of total dominance or 7 of steady work? This comes right after Vladimir Guerrero Jr sparked the same talk for hitters, weighing high average with moderate power against lower average, but more bombs. Seas showed he can deliver length, even if a messy defensive play in the second, let 2 run score on Guerrero's Aaron Throw. Manager John Schneider loves the innings over strikeout totals, saying he takes 7 frames with 6 k's any day, over 5 with 15. Seas agrees, pushing for consistency since signing with Toronto, he's always asking for one more batter around 100 pitches. He's working with pitching coach Pete Walker to snag quickouts early,

like using sinkers or changeups in hitters counts instead of always chasing. Kes, that saves pitches and stretches outings to 6, 7, or even 8 innings. With the Blue Jays offense heating up like it did last postseason, these deeper starts from Seas, should stack up wins and keep the rotation fresh as they chase the playoffs. That wraps MLB News Today, brought to you with AI, I'm Cory with the Story.
