How the f*** did Belt not get to 3rd there?

[Solaxys]

Lets goooo kirk

[Spanky99]

Sheeeeit...

[el duque]

El Capitan!

[Spanky99]

He’s hitting .1000 at home so shut the f*** up for awhile : )

 

lol

[BlueRocky]

people need to relax the tigers are cheeks

[Jays24]

Half decent base runner and we have our 2nd run right now.

[connorp]

These guys, man. lol

 

IL stint excessive though. Getting paid a lot of cash and part of a team. Give them something to calm them right down. Xanax or whatever to get them started. Appointments with the sports psychologist. Few days off to clear the head. IL seems like a bit much. Shouldn’t get paid for it imo

[DigitalRock]

Biggio sucks man

[Krylian]

Yeah well, in the real world that kind of thing isn't an excuse for missing work.

 

Maybe not at the gas station you work at, but in most places it's absolutely accepted.

alright, alright, alright. I don't wanna derail the thread. I'm gonna have to agree to disagree on this one with you guys.

 

So ignorant, I've lived with it since I've been 17/18... it's f***ing brutal. That's a fact, it isn't made up, I'm 50.

Good thing people like you who make these decisions

[RobinThicc]

That Kirk single (lol) has to be caught in old rogers centre right?

[DigitalRock]

Take him out no control

[jaysthebest]

Manoah looks still ass.

[Stangstag]

Manoah get your head out of your f***ing ass

[Dylan]

Bullpen game

[Grant77]

The lack of mental preparation and focus from Manoah is disturbing.

[Solaxys]

Bassitt and Manoah having issues with pitch clock when everyone pegged Gausman to be the one with the issues lol

You really don't know much about anxiety do you..lol Of course they should get paid. This isn't his first bout with anxiety. They should have known the risks when they signed him.

[Governator]

I think it's fair to say Manoah sucks under pressure, like season openers and home openers. At least that's what I hope it is.

[Masterbather]

Nothing is working for him right now and he's just completely in between.

[Krylian]

Manoah unraveling

[Stangstag]

Idk man it seems like this could be a rocky season for him… hope its just a few hiccups

[jaysthebest]

Please don't tell me Gausman is the only starter the Blue Jays can rely on.

[Grant77]

Gausman is such a pro, one of my favourites. He clearly put in more preparation during the offseason than some of our other pitchers did.

[Spanky99]

I read recently about Slater Koekkoek in the NHL. Anxiety basically derailed his entire career. I don't know if things would have been different for him if there was no stigma about getting help with mental health.

 

Bingo. How did I not know C-pee would chime in.

[Slade]

I think it's fair to say Manoah sucks under pressure, like season openers and home openers. At least that's what I hope it is.

 

Yeah as soon as the atmosphere amps up Manoah has not been there. Maybe it gets better over time but bad so far.

[bronson44]

Man, he can't finish anyone off

[Solaxys]

The slider is not working, its sweeping way too early - so he can't K anyone.

 

Just have to grind it out at this point.
