he thought he had joined a playoff team... reality set in

 

I agree. He is pissed that the team is floundering. BUT he needs to put on his big boy pants and be a professional. I thought he had a reputation for being a good team guy, but so far this season seems not so much. Maybe that thing a while back with Donaldson yelling something while Morales was at the plate is a hint of some dissension.

[Daniel Labude]

Can't score 5 runs on offense and the bullpen can't get outs...same thing different game. What and AMAZING game Stroman pitched again. Need to sign him even longer term

[Effit]

Stro just went back to start beating s*** up.

[Jonn]

I'm not laughing, unfortunately. This s*** hurts.

 

Getting upset over things you can't control is utterly pointless.

[Candy Maldonado]

Stroman going to have a tantrum

[Daniel Labude]

It was the right move to bring out Stroman. This loss is on Grilli/Leone.

 

Stroman could have done better than them if he stayed in. Gibby should have let him go to 110-115 pitches imo

to be fair, the offense was hitting the ball hard and their defense made some amazing plays to keep them in the game.

[Omar]

Stro wants to go the distance again........doesnt want the bullpen anywhere near this game. Lets hope Gibby obliges.

 

Hate that I saw this coming. *snakebit*

[Rustyraven]

I blame Shatkins!

 

He did the dumpster diving. so glad tv ratings are going to go in toilet and maybe sportsnet hacks get cut. Who would pay to see this crap? Rogers forced holders hands with Sept deadline but once bitten...Stro looked pissed, stunned, etc. How motivated could JD or Tulo be to return? Morales wishes, as we do, that he had signed two yr contract. I am actually hoping for losses so we can see prospects, some asses fired, etc. There is no way blaming is not going on in that locker room. And screw Grilli! We got lucky but it was clear he was waning. What a joke. Goodbye Halifax, Vancouver, Sask. audience Good bye high ratings and free advertising dollars. Now let us see if Jose or Morales can earn some money

According to Cots Rogers is paying $163m+ for this catastrophe. Thank f*** it dips dramatically next year to $76m and that's before trades.

Carrera diving into first like an idiot cost him second base.

[Belliss101]

No pinch hit????

Rogers pays for a lot of mediocre s***.

[Omar]

So do their customers.

[Daniel Labude]

They have been way better today for sure...just couldn't get more runs in

[Jonn]

Calling the Goins 3-run shot.

[BillBucknorslegs]

Right, but before people try to tie the can on Rogers or Shatkins they should recognize that the payroll is healthy and the FO clearly had limited wiggle room to work with in the offseason.

The real test of Shatkins is what they do now with a full rebuild on the horizon.

[P2F]

Gibbons makes some really inexplicable decisions. For example, Exhibit A: not pinch-hitting Maile with Martin. Regardless of the fact that he reached base (via error), that was truly indefensible.

Yes especially with Martin swinging the bat a lot better lately including that long HR yesterday. Maybe Gibby is hoping they fire him so he can get paid and not have to work for it ?

[Jonn]

Wow that fat ginger did ok for himself considering how many bad decisions he made.

[EdwinsParrot]

Gibby just gave up

[HERPDERP]

GJ Leone

[o2cui2i]

FFS

 

the pain continues

[o2cui2i]

Norris was hitting... what .165 before the game? with no HR so far

 

lol

[Jonn]

Leone magic is over

[Omar]

I got tix for the series against Cinci at the end of May. I wonder who will be managing the Jays then?

[Jonn]

6-17 bruh

[Effit]

Batting practice

[HERPDERP]

looks like Leone is going back to 6th inning duty
