Lauer isn't very good, frankly, and this game is still winnable. 

Don't blame Schneider at all. Try to win. What a concept? 

there must have a reason for Lauer to be moving from place to place

Ouch... that's going to leave a mark!

When Vlad is scuffling it's so easy to get him to expand the zone, he just completely loses his focus.

Seems like he makes a swing decision before the pitch is even thrown sometimes.

that got to hurt more than Bo's knee injury

Probably for the best. This game is worse than yesterday's. 

[Laika]

Despise that decision to pinch hit for Schneider with Loperfido

You are down by four. Need baserunners. Leave the guy in who takes walks. 

Loperfido hacked at two balls and grounded out meekly... 

[G-Snarls]

7 innings and 2 hits???

WTF!?!?!

[thatoneguy]

Offensive struggles are really becoming a bit concerning, albeit they are getting absolutely s*** BABIP going both ways in this one.

This stadium blows so much ass.

got like 12 expected hits left on the table lol

[neverbeenhere]

this offense is really really dead 

[Rynodb1]

This game is hard to watch. 

Offense needs to realize playoffs are right around the corner. 

[thatoneguy]

Honestly coming into this series, if you told me they'd get away with a split, I'd take it and run.

Bit disappointing to drop the final two games though.

Always sucks when you win the first couple games in a series and s*** the back half

[G-Snarls]

Nice inning by Dominguez 

Need runs 

[Big_Walleye]

If any of our playoff opponents study what Tampa pitching does against us we're screwed.  I don't know what it is about this team that makes the Jays offense absolutely disappear. 

[Spanky__99]

Our xBA is .286, lulz

Are we going to ignore that by advanced stats, they probably should be winning/tied in this game? They're getting terrible luck.

Do the advanced stats make you feel any better?  We must get the bad luck almost every time against the Rays.  For years now!!

Tampa actually has really good pitching though

As will pretty much every playoff team.  Especially in a short series.

[G-Snarls]

Come on Barger 

[G-Snarls]

Awful game 

Wow

[Stangstag]

well that was a steaming pile of garbage

[Spanky__99]

A split is fine, but it certainly took some wind out of our sails the last two and that sucks. Bring on the Royals!

Yeah, playing the Rays sucks, especially in Tampa. Could've been swept in this series though so I'll take the split.

My main point is that the offense has struggled in this series, but fortunes were abnormally harsh against them today.

[Jays24]

Really need Bo back for the playoffs.  Im also holding out hope for Santandar.  I think we'll be fine hitting wise with those 2 included. 

[Horses Fart]

Vladdy 3-17 in the series. Superstar Stats. Without Bo the rest of the season we need him to step up and make those big bucks. 

[BB17]

All this talk about the fans being quiet and the atmosphere is crap is a load of horse s*** lol. Jays crowds in April and May were pretty pathetic themselves and there was barely any noise.
