Kirk Gibson limps to plate

[JFD]

Pinch hit worm burner lul

[travisinfla]

[Daniel Labude]

That might be the worst turned double play ball I have seen lol

[travisinfla]

swing for the seats to hell with it

[gruber92]

The white Ricky Henderson in the game

[Daniel Labude]

Yankees have all day to make these plays and keep throwing it around lol

[travisinfla]

god he's hard to hit or lift a ball his fastball sinks down

[gruber92]

Horwitz hits a lot of ground balls on the right side.

[Steeljays]

Horwitz hits a

 

lot of ground balls on the right side.

 

He is another guy that I do not see long term. He should have value along with DS and Pearson to package this winter.

[John_Havok]

Cole owned them, not much more to say

[keggy]

If Guerrero doesn't beat that out, Schneider would be answering some very difficult questions tonight.

[Doubleplay21]

Horowitz is a pull hitter to first base

Not going to hit much in the majors

[Masterbather]

Looks like I missed some fake drama. Well we'll have a chance for a repeat tomorrow when we get shut down by another ace. Hopefully our guy can at least keep us within touching range this time.

[John_Havok]

Kinda weird this wasn’t an afternoon game when they play tomorrow in Tampa with an earlier start isn’t it?

[Eat My Shatkins]

This is still gonna be so tough to get in.

 

Have Cole and King one more time each, plus 6 games vs the f***ing Rays, and let's face it..this team could easily faceplant those 6 games vs the Rays.

A lot really depends on the 7 games between Seattle and Texas. Best case, Seattle or Texas runs the table on the other team or even 5-2 or something like that and the Jays play .500 or better. Anything other than that and it’s hard to see them get in.

Yeah, have to go at least 5-4 in the last 9. They’d still have a shot at 4-5 but they’d need one of SEA/TEX to beat up on the other. Not going to be easy.

Yes but still need to give him a chance, he's had some good AB's but sample size is still too small to tell one way or the other.

I've been saying for weeks, two against King, two against Cole, two against Glasnow, and then another four games against the Rays in which we'll be favored with the pitching matchup but doesn't necessarily mean we'll win.

 

6 to 7 losses was always possible in this 12-game stretch, everyone keeps acting like it's going to be easy they're not really paying attention.

Yeah, but Texas and Seattle play each other 6 times too, so one of the teams we're running against will lose each of those games.

[Masterbather]

They play each other seven times, and if they split four and three, then we're still very much in trouble.

[hanton]

That was a pretty s***** AB by Vlady, Holmes pitched him perfectly. I'm not expecting him to improve this season but they absolutely need to get him some help.

[DonJays]

It was predicted that Davis Schneider would get screwed up by the Jay hitting coaches

By who? A complete moron I assume

[G-Snarls]

They play each other seven times, and if they split four and three, then we're still very much in trouble.

 

Yeah

 

Gotta hope it's 6-1 or 5-2 one way or the other

[jaysblue]

Sealed the deal for the AL Cy Young.

That's why getting swept by Texas really was f***ing big. If they don't make the playoffs that was the season there. Pathetic performance in the most important 4 games of the year.

 

I guess tonight starts the next 'most important series of the year' and we'll see, but this team has yet to really win a series against a tough opponent where their season was on the line, and by this team I mean the 2020-2023 team in aggregate.

[Olerud363]

Sealed the deal for the AL Cy Young.

 

 

Reminds me of what a f***ing pathetic 'Cy Young' Robbie Ray fell into. Don't get me wrong. Guy was great for 95% of the season, but when it came down to it and we needed him he f***ing got ROCKED!

 

I almost wish someone else won the Cy Young that year.

 

2023 - Garret Cole shows how you finish strong for Cy Young

2021 - Robbie Ray gives up multiple bombs and blows Jays playoff chances, leading 2-1 against a washed up Cory Kluber

 

Yeah. I'm this negative after 1 loss. But Mark Shapiro has greated a miserable failure of a team that blows it in every big moment. Every piece of hope get's tarred and feathered, crunched up into a ball, puked on and thrown in the sewer, from Robbie Ray giving up 4 bombs in an inning to blow the Jays season (that's our Cy Young), to 'deadline acquisition' Anthony Bass not able to hold a 9-5 lead, to rookie sensation Davis Schneider, going from hero to zero in the blink of an eye, to Vladimir '80 hit tool' Guerrero, and Alejandra '70 hit tool' Kirk, becoming 40 hit tools because their big bellies get in the way of their swing, to the inevitable losses in key series.

 

f*** you Robbie Ray. f*** you Mark Shapiro. I am sorry Home Plate Lady that this awful man had to enter all our lives and given every other bad thing we experience, he is now taking your seats away.

You're trying way too hard here. The key to great trolling is subtlety

None of my posts are ever anything close to trolling. Peterkim or whatever the f*** is probably a troll, as he is not really an english as a second language speaker, and likely is a guy with multiple accounts. Being grumpy is not trolling. Possibly being mistaken on facts is not trolling, it's just f***ing being mistaken. Sometimes when I really get pissed at Grant he calls it 'trolling', but it's not trolling. Being pissed off isn't f***ing trolling. Our f***ing stupid as hell society doesn't even know what trolling is.

 

About 2 years ago, Robbie Ray, laid an egg in the most important start of the year, and seeing Cole nail one of his last starts reminded of how dissapointing Ray's finish to 2021 and his Blue Jays career was. He also blew his second last start against the Rays.

 

Robbie Ray f***s up -- mentioning this is not trolling. It is mentioning things in the past that pissed me off. Perhaps not relevant to today, or perhaps relevant, but talking about real things that happened isn't trolling.

 

Shapiro gives home plate ladies seats to corporate bozos -- also not trolling. I heard that he was turning parts of the 1st level into a club and many long time (like families who have tickets from 1977) would be moved to worse seats, including home plate lady. If I am mistaken on this sorry. If true it really pisses me off. If home plate lady is not getting kicked out of her seats f***ing address it.

 

Here is what to say - "You are mistaken. Home-plate lady is not getting kicked out of her seats. Shapiro is a nice man. He would never do that." If I am mistaken on Shapiro and what is happening with the lower bowl, than I'm wrong, but being wrong isn't trolling, unless you keep on making the claim, after proven wrong, then it is trolling just to get a reaction.
