Yeah, saw on the replay But still, right up the middle.

 

Yeah, I still think it would have been scooped up by their MIF, ball didn't seem to be moving great. Maybe not.

[Daniel Labude]

We need a lineup shakeup....asap

[o2cui2i]

it's almost time to sacrifice a virgin and god know the board has a few to spare.

[TheBoneCollector]

Offense really in a funk, really have to stop the bleeding soon.

[felinefriendly]

bottom of lineup in the 9th...

[Nabru]

There is a noticebale difference in calls between balls and strikes for each team tonight.

[jays4life19]

I'm calling a Bluejays come back win tonight only because this thread needs some positive vibes.

 

 

Letsss Gooo Bluejaysss!

Not only that, but sometimes a pitch in the same location has been a ball and sometimes a strike. Not to mention calling Reyes out on that dribbler even though the throw was right on the line, just atrocious.

 

If anyone watches soccer, the refs in that sport are just as bad, they screwed Croatia today on a clear dive.

it helps when your catcher can give the ump a good look Navi is one of the worst framers I've seen in a while

Awww f***... didn't need Loup to show up with nothing

No doubt. Out of all of the major sports, I actually think baseball is the best officiated (or umped). In the past I didn't have a problem with blown calls on the base paths as that can be so bang bang and they're usually right. But they need to improve their challenge system.

 

As for home plate umps, I get the frustration with them at times. Some are good and some are wildly inconsistent. A little thing like Melky being 3-0 in the top of the first today instead of 2-1 with a man on could have changed this game completely.

[closetjaysfan]

good pitch.. kept us in the game

[o2cui2i]

2 weeks ago we all would have just expected to come out of this with a win. everything bounced our way for almost a month.

 

need a couple bounces to go our way here.

[Trouba95]

Great...f***ing fatty up first. No chance.

[Buster]

Reminds me of this:

 

“In ’08, in May, we won 20 games,” he recalled, “and had the best record in baseball that month.

 

“I got fired three weeks later. I always enjoy a good month, but it means absolutely nothing in June.”

[Trouba95]

Are we ever going to win a game again?

[ElNik2013]

Except that the called and not called strikes I saw where when the O's were pitching/catching.

[Nabru]

Reminds me of this:

 

If there's a constant under the Rogers run Jays, it's the annual June swoon.

[o2cui2i]

wow... a bounce that went our way. if we can just turn the lineup over!!! come on!!!!!

[Trouba95]

f*** this UMPIRE!

[TheBoneCollector]

Ugh ump has killed us tonight.

[o2cui2i]

Lane is a sack of s***!

[Trouba95]

Whatever. f*** this team.

[TheBoneCollector]

Some horrid at bats again tonight, need to win tomorrow to get back some momentum.

[S33n]

The bottom of this order is really ugly right now

[TheBoneCollector]

The bottom of this order is really ugly right now

 

Yes it is, to make matters worse the middle of the order is not hitting either.

[o2cui2i]

he's out. game over

 

another night of really bad offense.
