When you come across a feel-good thing.

I believe it’s 18m this year as his contract was front loaded. Not saying that’s better, but at least half of his salary is off the books after this year instead of a third
Hope he finds his stuff but it could end being a situation like the Mets did. They ate the rest of Canó’s contract just to get rid of him.
4-5-6 went 0-11 with 5ks and 1 BB But I thought Bo was the problem according to a lot of people
Chapman: Rally-killing GIDP and 3 strikeouts after being promoted to 5th spot, but he’s safe from slander ‘cause his name is not Bo Bichette 😇
Yep. There 4-7 batters went 0-14 with 5 k’s last night. The only one I see getting ripped apart by fans is Bo who had 3 guys in front of him who were way worse that game.
I suspect he’s gone in the off-season, but an in season hitting coach firing is rare.
He better be gone in the offseason This team has made almost no adjustments in their hitting approach and are constantly being dominated by bad starting pitching
That bases loaded 1 out inning is looking worst and worst
Inability to score runs is coming back to bite them already
This was dumb on all of us. But in little league I got in a rundown between first and second after a kid dropped a pop up. So basically I was in a rundown while my coach was just telling me to go to second and they were trying to tag me while their coach was yelling to just step on second.
Vladdy’s running backwards, catching that would have been incredible
Ya I can’t blame anybody on that play Vlad made a good effort and then I’d request any of these people to catch a 90+ mph one hop rocket from Vlad while trying to tag the guy too
Kikuchi finally starts a game good and gets that luck
I was genuinely surprised by how good this was
This team is just flat out not good enough. Everything is so streaky but the bats have to be the biggest concern. No patience, no execution against quality pitching for most of the year. Yeah I know the “stats” give them high marks but until someone shows me their numbers vs contending teams I’m not hearing about how good their offence is anymore.
30-40 against teams .500 or better That says it all
Not to argue the fact, but does that include early season games when they lost to a team that was 3 & 2. 7 & 6 etc for example?
I believe it’s team that are currently at .500 or better But I also wasn’t listening super close to Blair and Barker so don’t quote me on that
Just me or is it weird that we’ve gone a full week without a lefty in our pen
Ya I wish they would give Gage more of a chance
Can’t be recalled yet hence why
Ya but I mean why are they keeping Thornton up ever
What is the record in the last 50 games that Jays need to get to make the playoffs I’m guessing like 32-18 But I’m not convinced they can do that
Trading Jansen at the deadline and allowing Moreno to come up would have maybe been a good call. His value was as high as it'll ever be and he's really coming to earth offensively recently.
Jansens trade value was a half eaten Kit Kat But not even breaking apart Kit Kat, someone who just takes bites out of the whole thing
… look Berrios was bad tonight and was bad for 7 other starts. But to say that he has been bad the entire season is disingenuous and stupid. 15 starts where he had a sub 3 era and no amount of barking from you dogs is going to change that he has pitched more good than bad games.
The issue is that when he’s bad he’s real bad. It snowballs and gets away from him
Even if he pitched a 1-0 cg what would it have mattered? The team's offense was embarrassing last night.
Oh don’t even get me started on the offence So inconsistent and their approach has not changed all season. Even high school teams could figure out how to pitch against them at this point
Everyone is blaming berrios but not going to win games with only 3 hits..
Bichettes second at bat sums up their plate approach Strike one Strike two Strike three swinging at a slider 1.5 feet away from the strike zone
Bichette is fine, but the problem is there are too many similar hitters.
That’s what I’m saying There has been zero adjustment by the hitters the entire season
As do I. But he’s still a human being who deserves to be treated with respect.
You can still treat him with respect but boo him as he’s leaving the field. Just leave it at the stadium
Ok in Berríos’ defence, Ramirez had absolutely no business even getting a bat on that. What the fuck.
He must be tipping his pitches still
My kid loves Bo
That was a bad call and I'd feel robbed if I was the twins, but WE TAKE THOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE LETS GOOOOOOO
Wasn’t a bad call Whit was sliding before Gary caught the ball and was lowering his knee right in front of the plate
Seems cut an dry. Stay away from
Haha ya I’ve seen it already
Does Romano get a blown save, a win and a save all in one game
Blown save and win No extra save
100% the dropping of the knee is the violation
This is an insane amount of middle middle pitches that I’m seeing
Ya it was either right down the middle or 6 inches off the plate today
I’m convinced that Jansen makes a huge difference to our pitchers
I don’t even think you have to be convinced You can see it on the pitchers faces when throwing to him
Just tuned in. First thing i notice is a trail of white shoe prints from the plate to the mound LOL
I can’t stop looking at that
I dont disagree it will payoff, but considering Mitch was sent to AAA and Peacock recalled to cover, not sure its exactly the argument you think it is.
White can be recalled at any time due to some rule of options after trades. So they optioned him today to get another bullpen arm but will bring him back up for Saturday I think it is, when Strip was supposed to start
I follow rugby and this was a thing when players got head injuries. A lot of the time it's a players choice on if they want to release medical information. Wonder if it's the same in this case.
Ya the vagueness of it makes me think it’s a lot worse than they’ve let on
Yeah I’m feeling this aswell
Ya it’s quite clear when they make a trade for a right handed bat who can play CF
Merrifield has a .290 OBP this year and a negative WAR. Not sure this was even worth it
Never said it was worth it. It’s a safety measure because clearly Springer is at like 50%
Is Victor Reyes the equivalent of Mountcastle against the Jays Meaning he hits well against us but nobody else
BS that we’re down. but bats need to score more than 1 run regardless, lots of game left.
And the Tigers bullpen who straight up embarrassed the Jays last night
Zach Collins does what exactly?? Dudes a waste of a roster spot
He’s the just in case catcher Which I think only a few teams carry 3 catchers
Yep, and the offence is drying up a bit too.
They seem to struggle against guys they’ve never seen before quite a bit
Is the audio muted for anyone else? I'm watching on bell fibe. As soon as the actual game started the audio cut.
Mine too and I’m on Shaw
Wonder if he joined Aaron Rodgers in the Dr Joe Rogan school of medicine
Bo had a really hot May and then a tepid June. July seems to be a lot better so far, and I think moving down to 4th will help him.
I don’t know if this is true but he seems more patient when he’s hitting in the 4th spot than he did in the second spot
