Blame/ban vdub if it does. She made me do it.

[JaysAllMighty]

Grilli jr. better arm then dad.

[Maahfaace]

Pillar's early season approach is officially dead....

[Spanky99]

*sighs* Ground rule double saves a run.

[BlueJays]

lol Smoak

Turf is so bouncy

[G-Snarls]

Jerry Howarth sez Pillar has an OBP of .236 since his 2 game suspension

 

Yikes

[StubbinHub]

Walk-ovwr win but Smoak decides sucking the D a more apt choice than patiently waiting for a pitch off a washed up tool.

[Spanky99]

Engrish?

[West Texas Forever]

This stadium is such trash.

[Spanky99]

Take that gift, thanks blue.

[West Texas Forever]

I swear we legit have the slowest team in all of baseball.

[StubbinHub]

Should be 3-0......this bum should be chased inside of 4 innings but I guess not. Jays just aren't into hitting and/or producing runs.

[gruber92]

Disgusting station to station type offence full of below average runners. Outside of Pillar, there is literally nobody else that runs well.

[Daniel Labude]

Doesn't help that Smith is sitting on the bench

[Spanky99]

Melky... can you please, f*** right off! Thanks!

[West Texas Forever]

Jays take notes on how to hit the other way, welcome to the show kids.

[Orgfiller]

Did this dude just bloop a bouncing pitch into the outfield? Holy f***

[EdwinsParrot]

f*** what an annoying series

[gruber92]

The Bautista strikeout is a perfect example of this team's approach. Two strikes on him and instead of being shorter and staying inside the ball, he wails at a slow breaking with zero chance of adjusting to it. It's almost like they have no clue that a breaking ball could possibly be thrown since they are always way out in front looking fastball, even when behind with two strikes on them. The Jays must be in last place in hitting with two strikes.

Yes, take notes from the 72 wRC+ hitter with a walk rate that makes Pillar look like Bautista while also striking out 26% of the time.

It didn't bounce.

What's your take on Pillar's current approach?

[gruber92]

Yes, take notes from the 72 wRC+ hitter with a walk rate that makes Pillar look like Bautista while also striking out 26% of the time.

 

That actually makes it even worse.
