Bo, 8 for 8, he is red hot 

[neverbeenhere]

Barger is a wild swinger 

[jaysthebest]

Barger... He's been cold lately

[Jays24]

Barger swung at 3 balls very outside the strike zone... tough AB

Power bat will swing and miss once in a while and will look bad doing it

[jaysthebest]

Terrible plate discipline by Barger and Clement...

sure, but for him it doesn't seem to be once in a while 

[Masterbather]

Against the righties in particular would Clement not be like the worst hitter in our lineup? He shouldn't be batting 6th.

Yep it happens - teams are adjusting to how they pitch him - he will need to adjust to that

[neverbeenhere]

pen is gonna be depleted tonight 

[neverbeenhere]

shite 

[neverbeenhere]

hard to come back now 

[jaysthebest]

This god damn pitching strikes again. Ross better trade for at least 2 high leverage relievers and top-end starters.

[keggy]

I will never understand Schneider's bullpen usage in games like this. He did the same thing against the White Sox and it really wore down our pen.

[Jays24]

Team is gonna be in horrible shape having to use their entire bullpen to get through this game. 

Not sure whose idea it was not to have a long man the game before a double header and a day game following that...

[neverbeenhere]

Little just doesn't have control

[keggy]

Even Schulman and Joseph think this is stupid

[Masterbather]

I fully expected us to give up runs against Baltimore, they have a good lineup, the key was always to make sure to score runs off of their pitching.

Little has stunk today though. Him and Bassitt have combined to f*** us.

At least there's no bottom of the ninth to worry about. Always better to get beat up on the road then at home for that reason.

[Masterbather]

Nance has about two brain cells to rub together apparently.

[keggy]

Runner is out by a mile if you throw home

[jaysthebest]

You shouldn't expect this bunch of our starting pitchers with an ERA around 4 to start in the postseason... 

[Jays24]

Yup... that bunt when down 3 and a guy who's been hitting great all year was the pivotal moment in tbe game.  

Ah well... onto the next one.

The John Schneider Ball.

[neverbeenhere]

Guys like Wagner, Loperfido may not be useful in playoff games,

I agree - only players who get base hits 100% of the time are useful in playoff games! Every other team will only have betters who NEVER make any outs.

Judge, Ohtani, etc are all bottom 30% in the league for strikeouts

The Mullins robbery was pretty pivotal too

No, I am trying to say they need Varsho

LMFAO yeah OK man. Apparently no other team will be interested in acquiring any pitching, so it should be pretty easy for us to just somehow acquire two top-end starters and two high leverage relievers.

A real big-brained idea here! Why stop there bud? They should get Suarez as well!

We can control another team playing great defense but we sure can control our decision making.  

Regardless, doubt that was going to change the game with how they've been hitting and how we've been pitching today.  Bad teams cry about 1 play and that hasn't been us this year, onto the next one.
