Mariners (Castillo) vs Blue Jays (Lucas): 4/20/25, 1:37pm

[Masterbather]

That was as Jekyll and Hyde as it gets

[Big_Walleye]

I think Rodriguez at second was relaying pitches to Raleigh at the plate.  This may get interesting...

[Laika]

Hopefully Lucas can just limp through five innings 

Castillo isn't who he used to be.

[HomeRunHomer]

He probably just sucks but I wonder if there is a possibility he is tipping his pitches?  All the deception that was there in his first two starts is completely not there anymore.  They are just murdering pitches into the second deck.

[Jays24]

f*** this offense man lol

3 of his first 6 pitches touched middle middle. That's the main issue 

[gruber9292]

This could get ugly fast against a garbage offence 

[Laika]

Probably not gonna be a watchable game today 

[saskjayfan]

anyone binge watching any good shows?  I need something to watch!

[HomeRunHomer]

And now the weak contact is finding holes.  This game is over.

[Masterbather]

I kind of feel bad for him on those last couple of hits but yeah, that was rough. Especially considering that the Mariners offense stinks.

[Masterbather]

Okay Paxxy, here's your rehearsal.

[gruber9292]

I really hate losing to f***ing Seattle 

[saskjayfan]

The pitching has been fantastic all year.  I'd love to think that the bats could wake up and explode and support the pitching when it's having an off day, but I'm not holding my breath.  A 11 to 9 victory would be fantastic, but probably not in the cards...lol

[saskjayfan]

Santander had a pitch to hit out of the park...fouled it off...damn

[Angrioter]

The Venezuelan duo suck..... 

[GogetemJays]

Offense is still terrible. If you can’t hit home runs you are in big trouble. 3 home runs total from Bichette, Vladdy, and Santander is just awful. This isn’t a new thing either. Vladdy will come around but I am not sure about the rest of the lineup. They are an average team at best. How many hitting coaches does this team need to go through before it realizes it ain’t the coaches?

Schnieder is not an elite manager. Putting Barnes in and the DFAing him tells a lot. He just tends to make the wrong choices in wrong situations. Great managers have a feel for things. He doesn’t.

That's been the story so far. Fat pitches that should be launched are being missed by players who should be launching them. The Shatkins black cloud will always hover over this team.

Meanwhile all the other teams don’t have an issue at all. It’s the players. We just don’t have enough clutch players.

so if George was hitting 4th like he should be he would have hit a double with the bases loaded..lol.  For those that think it's fine that Giminez hits in front of George!

[june.june]

Gross $hitkins would have been better off keeping Yarborugh

But the geniuses said that it was an overreaction

It’s crazy an organization that’s been so subpar hangs onto a duo that for the most part has only been successful at making rogers centre better. It just tell ownership doesn’t have a clue how to run a winning club. Those two should have been long gone yet year after year they are here. It’s so bizarre and quite frankly stupid. Let’s hold onto something that’s unsuccessful. Great business model.

[glory]

Only 17 more singles between now and the 9th, and the Jays may get to 7 runs. Just have to hold Seattle to 6. 

[june.june]

Gimenez is a one trick pony holding a very expensive noodle bat

 

Anything else that Ross Atkins has missed out doing for the past decade that he needs another extra 30 days to warrant an immediate firing

[Omar]

It's a ballgame again.  Let's Go!

[GogetemJays]

Single our way to victory. lol.

It doesn't work this way. While I agree that Springer should probably be hitting ahead of Gimenez and that our three and four hitters in general are embarrassing, we have no idea what would have happened if Springer had been hitting when Giminez was up.

[GogetemJays]

I am just wondering when does the lack of power become a concern? This is about year 4 of this. I guess they need more time. I am sure, I can feel it they are right there. They are going to get homeruns. They have proven it in the pa…..nvm(Sarcasm).

I know it doesn't work like that, but you can remove probably from your statement and replace it with WTF is Schneider thinking.  Springer's going to have an OPS 150 higher than Giminez.  Over 162 that adds up to fewer runs scored.
