It might be best if we don't have GDT's moving forward.  Save people's sanity.

BROOMS

[Stangstag]

Gonna get swept by the Angels and then head over to Seattle to get ass-blasted

[BTS]

I remember fondly the days (5 days ago) when we were talking about how the only enjoyable part of watching this team was Garcia and Hoffman locking s*** down in the late innings. Of course even that small joy has been taken from us. 

[Doubleplay21]

Jays going into a tailspin is needed to sweep out the front office

 

[glory]

It’s going to suck when one or more of the final playoff spots will be going to Central teams with 86 wins again who got there exclusively by beating up the White Sox. Meanwhile the 91 win Jays team in 2021 sat at home because they were the 4th best team in their own division. The AL is so wide open but this team won’t be taking advantage (again).

[Stangstag]

2021 was such a missed opportunity.

f*** the Yankees, and the Redsox, and the Rays, and the Nationals.

[Carlos Danger]

I honestly think Bassitt is going to manhandle the s***** Angel's offence. As long as Bassitt can go 7 + and they have a lead (that's the hard part) then I think the Jays should be able to salvage one game.

Even though the Angels have won the last two, that is NOT a good offence!

Failure to address the bullpen quickly enough. Games lost in April and May came back to bite us...

[Omar]

If I recall, wasn't Montoyo fired right after a west Coast series in Seattle? 

[Spanky99]

GO JAYS GO!!!

The last 4 games definitely feels like something we’ll look back on at the end of the year as a reason we missed the postseason

Winnable "should have won" games that got away

That's assuming we are even in spitting distance of a wild card spot!

I think it's a small miracle we're even 16-20.  I think it's just the baseball gods evening things out.  Those loses are more likely to be the difference between the 5th overall pick and the 10th overall pick.

Jays are favourites tonight on Bet365 haha.

Considering how much the Jays have sucked this season, they're still ONLY 4.5 GB of the Yankees in the AL East. 

Obviously they need to turn things around quickly. Vladdy and Bo gotta start hitting the ball with more authority, Santander needs to go on a tear, and need the starters to go deep so the Jays don't overtax the pen.

Brock is probably like "Damnit guys, we bought the wrong message board."

real talk the AL East blows 

The Yankees have some elite players but also some desperate plays like Bellinger (sucks) and Goldschimdt (working out so far but he's so old) and a thin rotation + the Williams disaster 
The Red Sox are frankly a weird team this year, trying to bridge competing with building for the long term, and they have some weak roster components 
The Rays are not good right now, just one of those down years for a cheap team probably 
The Orioles having a nightmare season = the reason I still don't 100% hate baseball 

none of these teams are that scary. Toronto could roll into New York and Boston later this year and sweep and make up a bunch of ground. 

we just need every single player on the roster to get better immediately. easy

[JaysAllMighty]

Good news, we are starting a long winning streak tonight.

[jaysblue]

Jays players gotta start juicing like in the 90s!

When almost every player on the roster is underperforming, it points to an issue within the Org imo. This has consistently been a problem for the last few seasons. Starting rotation has remained pretty solid but everyone else blows.

We start climbing the standings tonight

[Masterbather]

Bassitt will likely at least give them a chance to win, for whatever that's worth.

[PitaBaby]

Feels like I haven't been watching the Jays the past few years, just the Bad News Bears.

[Omar]

Lukes back in LF, we're saved!
