Blue Jays (Bassitt) vs Rays (Pepiot): 5/25/25, 1:40pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

Need to get a win on the books vs the Rays.

[jaysblue]

Going all in on the Blue Jays this afternoon!

Looks like the rain they were calling for yesterday will hold off until at least 5pm. 

[G-Snarls]

A win today feels critical

Glad it's an early start

Snap out it boys, GO JAYS GO!!!

Lowe is kryptonite for us.

[gruber9292]

Hope it's not game 

[Big_Walleye]

This team just never learns it lesson.  They keep letting guys like Raleigh, Mountcastle and this Lowe idiot burn them time and time again.  Is it that difficult to pitch around these guys? Wake up already!!!

[Masterbather]

I wonder if, when the Rays look at the schedule and see the Jays, they all collectively giggle.

[Jaysman]

I’m genuinely trying to work out what we’re doing/not doing/tipping, as this giving up multi-run homers is getting exhausting. Feels like almost every mistake pitch (plus a few others) are leaving the park.

Stop throwing anything hittable to Brandon Lowe, until he's "less comfortable." Pitch him inside off the plate, if you walk him, fine, if you hit him, fine, make him uncomfortable.... Stop letting him beat you!

Clase is out. What a cluster f***

It's frustrating when they are giving away outs. A bad offense shooting itself in the foot.

Frustrating is the right word, the homers against guys like Lowe, offence that disappears and then mental mistakes on top.

[spats]

This team is so frustrating to watch. They are always f***ing behind early.

[Abomination]

It's not like Lowe is a scrub. He's a pretty damn good hitter who has hit as many as 39 home runs in a season.

4 pitches 3 outs

You’re right, Lowe is not flying under the radar in terms of power, yet we keep letting him get us! Just repeating the same mistakes over and over I think is why everyone is frustrated watching it.

At the risk of getting shot down by others, that last inning just highlights a big issue we suffer from. We watch the other team grind and make things difficult, take advantage of our mistakes and adapt/hit according to the situation. We step up and blindly hit into double plays and give away 3outs in 4 pitches.

[Abomination]

How to NOT execute a suicide squeeze!

[o2cui2i]

dude has been a really s***** umpire forever.... 

[o2cui2i]

Jays seem to be in a hurry to lose

 

[neverbeenhere]

this team is hopeless

[Jaysman]

Should’ve been out at home by a mile, how have we managed to give up a run there?

[o2cui2i]

painful.... 

 

[hanton]

That's exactly how you start a rundown

[o2cui2i]

Most of us were thinking, if the pitching and hitting could just both be working at the same time, instead both are not working and it's ugly

how about start with the low hanging fruit, rid of both Spanky and Omar including their sponsors of this forum.

Tampa Bay Rays will always be Daddy for the Blue Jays. Clearly it wasn’t just the Trop.
