Nice choke job there. Missed an opportunity. Miller for 3 until the 8th now.

[gruber92]

Stop f***ing lunging at soft s*** !!

 

Holy f***.

[Pinkfloid]

f***, they've been pitching away to him this entire series. Can he not swing at either of those first two strikes and go the other way? Make a f***ing adjustment!

[Jonn]

Go Leafs Go!!

 

Leafs suck

[Stevecool]

its still early

[FireAlexAnthopoulos]

Pretty clear who the real stars and leaders of this team are, and Bautista isn't one. Sorry, casuals.

[Krylian]

Leafs suck

 

Rebuilding will do that

[Daniel Labude]

73.

 

Really. Thought it would be lower.

[fatcowxlive]

I need a stats guy to do this, but I'm guessing the # of breaking balls away this series thrown to the Jays is over 40%. How a major league team can't adjust to this is beyond me

[intentional wok]

They've been failing in almost the same way for nearly the whole series.

 

Ump kind of gifted that second strike though.

[Rajais Mitten]

Why are you blaming the ump. Those were strikes?

 

I dunno I'm just angry at everyone!

[havok24]

Bautista can eat a dick.

[BigCecil]

What were the odds he would stay away after he got that 2 strike call on Edwin? About 100%.

 

So we do what we too often do. Roll over on the next pitch and pull it to the left side and hit into DP.

They can't! They play glory ball. Not very smart hitters. They try and pull everything and leads into ground balls.

[gruber92]

Curious to see if Shapiro replaces Bats, Edwin, and Saunders with more swing for the fences guys,

 

He won't.

[Krylian]

Bautista can eat a dick.

 

Why just one?

[spittin]

Dreams died here today.

[West Texas Forever]

Ump changed that inning. Ball 4 turns into strike 2. Also Eddie how could you not crush that pitch. He hasn't thrown a fastball with 2 strikes often tonight. Had to know that was off speed coming your way.

It's mind boggling..

[Krylian]

He won't.

 

Hope not.

JD, Eddy, Carrera, even Saunders have adjusted, it's the rest of the plugs that can't/won't.

[Omar]

He won't.

 

Hes gonna get some type of power bat for sure.

[canadiansportsjunkie]

i just don't get why we are taking PITCHES LIKE f*** ME

[Belliss101]

JD, Eddy, Carrera, even Saunders have adjusted, it's the rest of the plugs that can't/won't.

 

Eddy adjusted briefly yesterday. Looks like he's reverted back to stupidity again

[Don Encartista]

Guess what guys? Miller might not quite have it tonight. Dude is DUE for a miserable inning or two.

 

School of Due.

[Jonn]

People keep mentioning Brandon Moss as a replacement. Strikeout machine and prone to massive slumps. Right up our alley!

Has nothing to do with the ump and everything to do with terrible hitting

[bowld]

I really thought after yesterday's win that we were going to come back and shock the world..what an idiot

[West Texas Forever]

Not trolling. Honest question, how many years will our playoff drought be after this year? 4 years perhaps?

I had this discussion with a friend the other night. He was beside himself that the Jays didn't adjust against Kluber...cut down their swings, take him the other way, etc. I simply said if it was that easy, Kluber wouldn't be winning Cy Young awards and recognized as one of the best pitchers in baseball.

 

That was the end of our discussion.
