Birds are ready to roll the birds...

That was sad. This team looks lethargic.

[Laika]

Has a team ever fired their manager twice in one season?

[BlueJaysFever]

The better teams have game planned vs the offense and executed that game plan so effectively. This team can either adjust on the fly or watch the season go down in flames. It's pretty simple.

[Omar]

Yanks have lost 11 of their last 13! That's baseball.

[Ray]

Team is giving me strong 2021 Padres vibes.

 

We’re PROBABLY gonna end up finishing over .500, but definitely an inflection point in our season. The trajectory isn’t looking good.

Don't worry the Yanks will get it fixed when we face them lol

[JFD]

Schneider just called Tapia their best contact guy. That says a lot right there.

[Jonn]

I don’t really enjoy the team’s current roster construction so seeing them struggle isn’t bothering that much. Obviously a bit disappointing but I would like to think this season as a catalyst for change.

 

Both the Off-season and Trade Deadline felt extremely incomplete. Perhaps its time to bring somebody in who isn’t afraid to make more aggressive decisions.

He's close. Probably 2nd or 3rd?

HAHAHAHAHA-- we whooped your Loser Jays butts once again tonight! Now you all can listen and understand what I am talking about with this amazing Orioles team-- there is NO STOPPING us now. Bye Bye loser Jays-- next up is the Stankees that the O's will over take. Before you know it!!!

Cool man nobody cares lol. Enjoy the ride.

The O's are embarrassing and humiliating the Blow Jays in their own home park!!!

Blow Jays. 10/10 creativity. Go tell your friends on the playground about that one!

[Omar]

In case you needed to cleanse your palate after that game....

 

[Solaxys]

Man its unreal how clutch EE was during those two years.

Has he met Kirk?

[Omar]

This team needs a walkout song before taking the field to hype themselves up. My recommendation, The Trooper by Iron Maiden.

In a vacuum, he’s not totally wrong, Tapia has always been good at making contact with the baseball. It’s just not usually good contact outside of the last 2 months. Add in terrible defense and a brain the size of a peanut, and you still have a sub replacement level player getting way more PAs than he should be.

[jaysblue]

The team lacks leadership. We desperately need a Russell Martin or Josh Donaldson type of guy on this team. Someone to get the guys fired up.

 

This team just exudes lethargy. No bark, no bite.

 

The Jays are missing a John McDonald or Reed Johnson type player. Bring them both out of retirement.

[jaysblue]

Man, I wonder if the travel is just adding up. I don't know what it's like for MLB'ers, but getting into Canada from America has been a bloody nightmare all year long. The airports in Canada are in shambles. I'd assumed ball players wouldn't have deal with it like the plebes, but who the hell knows.

 

The aircraft the Blue Jays fly on park at North Lounge on Derry Road. They don't go through the same nightmare regular passengers go through at Pearson. CBSA officers drive and clear them on the plane before the deboard.

Where is Brownie19? I want to hear his post-game analysis haha.

hahaha - hilarious.

 

The team is s*** right now. Teams typically go through lots of ups and downs during the season - that's baseball. The players need to play better. Montoyo, Schneider - it never mattered who the manager and all the narrative after that move was mostly BS. I'm still relatively confident they'll make the playoffs, but I don't expect them to win more than 1 series. Still think the core and direction of the team is solid for some sustained winning.

 

Unfortunately a lot of our prospects have been s*** this year (which I do think is a concern) and our system isn't in a position to have made significant moves at the deadline. That's life and limited our options.

One of the few posts I actually agree with you on!

[JFD]

He's close. Probably 2nd or 3rd?

 

That's generous.

 

Kirk

Pina

Vlad

Bo(Should be #1 but the coaching staff encourages him to be a HR mashing cleanup guy)

Espy

Says a lot about the coaching staff. Or maybe they're afraid to disagree with the big brain Ross Atkins

He's 3rd in Contact% behind Kirk and Espinal.

 

*4th now that we have Merrifield.

are you okay?

 

like, are you allowed to post on the internet without supervision?

Where do you see that?

[Brownie19]

Facts aren't important. Tapia's Contact% has dropped from 87% to 82% this year, so it certainly appears he's sacrificing some contact to do more damage at the plate (which I believe shows up in the underlying statcast #'s)

[P2F]

Where do you see that?
