Well there was also that curly long haired dude who should have 6 plus ERA tattooed on his forehead.. He shut the boys down also..

Yeah I'm not counting Kenny Powers he was the guy we face before this run of aces

But I agree we should have nailed him

[BB17]

Is it just me or did Vladdy look like he was standing way further back from the plate than usual that AB?

Journeyman from Mets/Pirates

[Omar]

Well that was humbling but hat tip to Brown. What can you do?

John Schneider should just make a recording of that so he can play it after every loss.

The entire game.   Must think he's been getting jammed.

It’s better than pretending they are really good. Be honest with yourself. They are good at times or really bad. Super inconsistent. They rely way to much on the homerun but ya it’s bad to be honest with where they are at.

Really surprising? The bats don’t show up unless they homer. Who really considers this team a great team. So many holes.

If you don’t have runners on base, solo home runs do very little. I would rather take Minnesota’s small ball than the homerun. You have to remember, the playoffs change everything. Not as many home runs, more small ball. The team needs to have a few players who fit that mold.

The defence has been a big let down today.

This clown used to post on here in '22 complaining about the Jays only having HR hitters and no defense... and now, here we are.

Nope you’re wrong there. Where is your proof? You have none because that’s not true. Go ahead and fabricate things Spanky. Seems about right.

Josh Walker with 3K's in 2 innings. 

Would like to see him being used as a LOOGY guy later on if he sticks with the big club. Like his stuff.

At the end of the day, the team needs an upgrade over Clement/Wagner at 3B and an upgrade over Roden in LF moving forward. 

Going into the season with Wagner and Roden as starters is looking like a mistake. Ideal situation would have been having them start in Buffalo and be the first guys called up in case of an injury. 

The gist of what you're saying is correct. Ideally we'd have studs at #3 and #4 and that would move Taters and Springer down.

We'd also have more starting pitcher depth and another high leverage reliever or two.

Even the optimistic take entering the year would admit that we were a team with a mid-80's win projection and had some holes. That's not good enough with a Top 5 payroll and not a ton of success previously.

That said, this schedule has been a gauntlet so far. Look at teams like the Red Sox who are finishing up their SEVENTH game against the ChiSox so far. We only play the ChiSox 6 times all season.

So to be 12-11 isn't a bad spot. Need to make sure to finish this road trip strong and then the schedule becomes pretty normal for a while. Starting the end of May through the ASB it becomes "easy". Still gotta win the games but it will help.

Seems like a great game to have missed completely. Thanks for showing up boys
