JS loves to put Little and Hoffman in the high-leverage situation lol.

John Schneider when he manages against the Mariners loses every brain cell he has.

I think it's no just JS and Shatkins trying overmanaging 

[thatoneguy]

Way too many people overconfident coming into this one when junk ballers tend to be the Jays' kryptonite.

Idk man, they’ve been overworked as hell. There’s a chance we can get to them

They had a day off they will be rearing to go

[THANOS]

This offense is just infuriating today, the MonStars zapped our mojo.

[Doc]

The bats are world beaters against the Yankees. They still haven't proven they can hit mediocre pitching though lol.

This dude throws mid 90’s lol. He’s got good stuff he just doesn’t miss bats

[rydermike]

Kirk bomb please 

[HomeRunHomer]

Barger takes a walk though one of those should have been a strike.  

[ComeTogether]

Tie this sucker up 

[glory]

They needed to replace Lukes in the 3rd inning of a 1 run game, where they clearly need offense, but choose to put in Straw instead of DS. 

Then JS can’t wait to pull Gausman but waits to take him out when Polanco (150 wRC+ against LHP) is up and brings in Little (a LHP) to face him. 

This series is almost a continuation of 2022 so far. Really need to bats to get going. Whatever magic formula JS has against the Yankees clearly does not work against Seattle.

Well that's the point, Jays constantly making contact but just weak contact. It's how you shut them down.

[Jonn]

Kirk we call upon you again.

[Stangstag]

Kirk really hasn’t done anything since game 1 of the ALDS

[Pinkfloid]

Damn too bad. Still don't understand taking out your Ace when it was obvious he still had gas in the tank. JS was better off letting him go through the lineup through number 9 and then going to the bullpen for the top of the order whenever they came back around. Managing scared might cost the Jays this game. Need the bats to wake up.

Everyone needs to chip in. Some get hot, some get cold.  It's a big problem when they all go cold at the same time (Vladdy, Varsho and Kirk) 

[neverbeenhere]

Mariners are always tough on bluejays 

[Angrioter]

Straw playing over DS is a joke in a game Jays needs runs 

[416BlueJs]

Too overhyped that Jays had this game easy. Just like Yanks in game 4. Letdown.

[jaysthebest]

JS got outmanaged by Seattle. He would've pulled Miller after that ball four.

The problem is that JS believe Springer is a worse outfielder than Santander who just returned from shoulder injury. So this prevented JS to add Schneider to LF. Will have been better have Santander DH, Schneider 2B, Barger RF, Springer LF, Clement 3B

People say s*** like this (and the Berrios game) but the Jays still only scored 1 run. You need to score more runs than the other team to win

[Jonn]

Well f***. We need shut down the rest of the way to have a chance.

[Abomination]

For a minute there I thought Varsho was actually going to run straight up the wall after that

[Slade]

Varland f***s around too much. Nibble nibble, just use your stuff.

It is true. If they get to Miller when he’s on the ropes, Completely different scenario.

[Angrioter]

That was home run..... Marines don't uses challenge 

[Jonn]

For the love of god throw strikes to JP Crawford

[Slade]

It's the #9 hitter just throw strikes man. 

[Jonn]

Is that the third f***ing time in the game he’s been 3-0
