GDT (2/4): Baltimore Orioles (6-2) @ Toronto Blue Jays (1-8) - 7:07 PM ET

I really thought these guys were gonna come out and mash against Miley, but I don't think this old roster can mash against anyone right now... Holy s*** do they look pathetic.

[StubbinHub]

Here's the thing too.....Miley is a bottom 5 pitcher in the AL - a stiff. This was our game to take walks, put up good at bats, generate big innings and we did nothing.

[Terminator]

1-9 boys....

 

Shapiro didn't do nearly enough to improve the team. I think in some way he was hoping for a rebuild deep down.

 

I think Shapiro is probably feeling pretty s***** about the results but at the same time IMO he's somewhat vindicated for not pouring a ton of cash and prospect capital in to trying to prop up this team for another run. Is overpaying Dexter Fowler and giving him a NTC really going to be the difference in this soon to be 1-9 start? Not a chance. We could have outspent everyone this offseason but it wouldn't have matter. Too many core players are sucking right now.

[Daniel Labude]

Because he's been a really good player when healthy.

 

Platoon player right?

[Yippy]

Sanchez velocity was down a few mph and he was throwing too much right down the middle of the plate

[Statman]

Offense is old and tired. Time for a rebuild.

Mashing against s*** ballers is not something this team has been doing for a while.

[Statman]

Platoon player right?

 

He has been very good against LH pitching throughout his entire career. Yes, that is his strength.

[Jimcanuck]

Offense is old and tired. Time for a rebuild.

 

Hate to say it, but i agree with you

[Jimcanuck]

Why is Travis even out there

[BTS]

Travis has to turn that

[glory]

What could Shapiro have done differently? Edwin had a 69 wRC+ heading into tonight. Fowler has a 40 wRC+.

 

The core is old and declining. Now their best player is hurt. Nothing would have changed that.

 

Pearce is s***ing the bed, but still like the signing. If he declines too, then so be it, but it made sense at the time.

[Orgfiller]

Okay seriously, it's time for Chris Coghlan. What Travis is doing out there is unacceptable right now.

[Terminator]

Travis is wincing and has a little limp now.

[Daniel Labude]

Why is Travis even out there

 

To get the reps he didn't in the offseason and Spring Training...its not like Goins is going to do anything to make playing him a must

[TheGrandslamMan]

How can it all be going so wrong this is some serious ********

 

I think the truth is that everything went as right as it could last year and this team just barely sneaked into the playoffs. The offense was lacking spark last year and we lost arguably our best offensive player... Not to mention replacing Saunders with Pearce... That's a big downgrade right there alone.

The STEEP decline in Martin and Tulo are the biggest issues going forward. Atleast with Bautista he is gone after the year.

He should be rehabbing properly at Dunedin extended ST

[Terminator]

This Arash guy is terrible. No charisma.

[Willyourememberme]

awful at bats man

[Statman]

Martin is the worst player in baseball.

[Willyourememberme]

LMFAO Martin

[JFD]

Martin needs to use a smaller bat. Looks like he's trying to swing a tree out there.

[Statman]

LMFAO Martin

 

Just terrible.

[Jimcanuck]

Seems like the window is closing.... 3-4 lean years coming up

[Statman]

Seems like the window is closing.... 3-4 lean years coming up

 

It is closed already.

[Yippy]

You have to be swinging at a close pitch like that martin

[TheGrandslamMan]

I always thought Morales and Pearce and the rest were just filler, while the rebuild takes place

 

Yeah, just a cheap stopgap to appease the base and fill a hole while the team inevitably reaches an impasse. It's f***ing weak. They could have at least did more in free agency to field a competitive product. I wish AA and Beeston were still running the show.

[Pendleton]

We are going to win this game.

[HERPDERP]

you know the Jays suck when Pat and Buck talk about the Bruins vs Canadiens
