GDT - KC Royals @ Toronto Blue Jays (3/3) 3:07pm ET

[G-Snarls]

I don't like any other team, I don't root for any other team, so all I have is this depressing mess.

 

OK, me neither

 

I'm just despairing

[G-Snarls]

And Vladdy with the K

[Omar]

Gdt is a huge downer. Even the regulars are abandoning ship.

 

The ship is sinking. Play for your contracts.

[gruber92]

Springer's career leading off must end soon.

 

Bo slow.

[Fighting_Yeti]

I'm starting to think that for my Fantasy team, I'm just gonna try to get the starting pitcher facing the Jays.

[Laika]

Honestly a really impressive inning by the Jays there

 

Top of the order, third time through, and they did manage to make the pitcher throw more than 10 pitches

 

Bravo

Thanks be to Shea

[Jays24]

FFS we have to be able come back.

 

Edit 11 outs left.

 

Edit 10 outs left

 

Edit 9 outs left

 

Not even gonna follow the game anymore... just gonna follow your edits lol

[The_DH]

Springer's career leading off must end soon.

 

Bo slow.

 

I still think Schneider could be a leadoff hitter.

[HomeRunHomer]

Probably going to have a bad time if none of the top 4 players in your batting order are among your top 6 batters this season.

[Jays24]

Schneider

Varsho

Turner

Jansen

Vlad

Springer

Bo

Clement

IFK

 

Let's see it Schneider

[june.june]

Bottom dweller:

 

HITS

RBI

SLG%

OPS

RISP

 

But Guillermo Martinez is still around because people saying that he is instrumental in VarshoÂ’s offensive numbers turnaround this season (small sample size) and totally ignored his impact on the teamÂ’s overall offensive numbers (bigger sample size since last season)

 

Fire the guy !

[The_DH]

For the love of god: Which idiot thinks Vogelbach is a good idea?

[Terminator]

Why are you being a loser and a hater and a Debbie Downer?

 

Term refers to anyone with a negative view of the team as losers, haters and Debbie Downers. Welcome to the club, stay a while this time

 

Lol

[Fighting_Yeti]

Jano!!

[HomeRunHomer]

Jano!!!

[The_DH]

Jansen was sorely missed.

[Terminator]

For the love of god: Which idiot thinks Vogelbach is a good idea?

 

His spot on the team is questionable as is but they just do not put him in a position to succeed at all.

 

He never plays, not even pinch hitting, and then they'll just randomly throw him in at the cleanup spot after not playing for two weeks.

 

Under normal circumstances he probably is a decent option against Lugo, but it makes zero sense to expect him to produce as the cleanup hitter today.

I agree with you: I expected him to be pinch hitting through the 3b-LF-2b situation but he never appeared. Now he's batting cleanup.

[Laika]

They can't possibly run this team back in 2025.

Just retool for 2026 at this point.

Trade everyone who is only controllable through 2025 and might have any value.

Salary dump everyone that can be dumped including Vlad.

Consider trading Gausman and Varsho as well even though they are under control in 2026.

[gruber92]

That's some horrible big Nate.

[leaffie]

And DONT let the crew that put together this mess anywhere near the rebuild.

Need Gibby to punch someone

[gruber92]

Holy f***, it's the 2015 Royals.

Maybe too much: how about selling off some bullpen guys and trade Guerrero for Holliday.

This is the most important part lol

Justin Trudeau needs to intervene.

 

1. Trudeau fires Shapiro

2. Trudeau fires himself.

3. Everyone working under Trudeau and/or Shapiro is fired, fined 1.2 million dollars and forced to live in vans by the river

4. Canada and the Blue Jays have a new beginning and we can hope that by the year 2027 things may be better.

[Terminator]

I agree with you: I expected him to be pinch hitting through the 3b-LF-2b situation but he never appeared. Now he's batting cleanup.

 

Part of his problem is that the 3B/LF/2B types have been hitting okay. Factor in the "pinch hit penalty" where guys tend to hit worse as pinch hitters than they do otherwise, and there just isn't as big of a need to pinch hit with him.

 

So now he's just rotting on the bench, not getting any reps, and then gets thrust into the lineup against a crafty veteran and looks like crap.

 

If they are going to use the 26th man this little, just cut the guy loose and sign Billy Hamilton. He's 22 of 23 on steals attempts the last 3 years and can succeed as strictly a pinch runner.

[Terminator]

Pearson Fanboys are completely quiet after whining and crying about his demotion earlier this year

[Omar]

Guerrero+Bichette won't get you Holliday.
