I don't get this move at all. No reason Fisher couldn't finish that inning and now you go to Varland?

Off day tomorrow and they're trying to keep the game at 2 here. You don't want the top of their lineup to tack on another when runs have been hard to come by.

Varland has been demoted from closer to reliever now, I guess.

yay, that's why he is a reliever now, I guess

[DownSouthBlueJay]

Guys I think we might just  get shut out.

[RA Whiffleball]

12 straight innings without a run.

[RA Whiffleball]

We scored 8 runs in the 8th inning at Minnesota on Saturday.

Since then we have scored 7 runs in 36 innings.

[neverbeenhere]

Last year jays got swept in Tampa too

[Orgfiller]

Okamoto has been fantastic on both sides of the ball during his hot streak.

[dancingmachine]

Nice play by Kaz

[DownSouthBlueJay]

Might as well OD on the copium that's all we got right now lol

[RA Whiffleball]

Yes, at least we have shown improvement this time. In last year's sweep, we scored 2 runs in 3 games, this one we have scored a whopping 4. 

[dancingmachine]

Omg f this team stinks

[RA Whiffleball]

And Clement gifts them the third run.

Off-day tomorrow but still Varland on track for like 80+ innings.  Do we really need to use him here in a hopeless game?

[Slade]

Wrap it up boys, we got a plane to catch. Another Tropicana sweep. 

[Laika]

Vlad's swing is broken. 

People need to stop the apologetics for him just because his AVG is high. 

[G-Snarls]

It must be quite disheartening for our high leverage bullpen guys to try to "hold" a three-run deficit when they know there's almost no chance of a comeback

Imagine if they'd gone with Clement full time 2B and Barger full time 3B with no Bo and no Okamoto

I don't think they ever WANTED to do that but it could have happened

[dancingmachine]

3 runs no way can this current team coming back from that vs the Ray's 

[RA Whiffleball]

Why couldn't that hurricane have not destroyed the entire stadium?

[DownSouthBlueJay]

Gotta speak it into existence Let's go Jays!!!

Just incredible that this IS still happening.  He is up right now.  He will hit a ground ball.  That's it.  OF course he will. 

How did this happen again?  How did he hit so well against postseason pitching?  What was different.  Why is this so hard to fix?

You are so wrong - he struck out!

Great job Vladdy way to get on base

[neverbeenhere]

Vladdy looks goofy at the plate

[JaysFan99]

Most predictable sweep ever

[dancingmachine]

What a gawd awful performance
