Royals (Lugo) vs Blue Jays (Scherzer): 08/25/26, 7:07 PM

[Laika]

The worst offense I have even witnessed from the Blue Jays 

[Jays24]

400M payroll and I think the Jays could have an average offense next year.  

[Omar]

We couldn't give Rogers a night off tonight?

We must be saving Sewald for ultra high leverage.

[Spanky__99]

How can he hit after this...

John Schneider did his Mr Miyagi trick on Ernie.  Kind of embarrassing in front of 40K people considering where he got hit.

Injuries seriously killed us, pretty good job by the staff, but now Bieber gone, it's going to be rough I imagine. *cries gif*

[Jays24]

So anyone gonna ask JS why he thought sitting Kirk today was a good decision?  He ended up playing half of the game anyways and could have provided the offense we needed early when we blew all those chances.  So many fireable decisions man.

But we might be able to squeeze another 6 innings out of him before the season ends.  🦿

[HomeRunHomer]

Lukes you idiot.  OMG.

[Jays24]

Haha the dumbest team in baseball continues to be the dumbest team in baseball.  This is JS's team man.  Start firing some of these idiots!!!! Too f***ing soft to be taken seriously.

It will make for some interesting baseball down the stretch.  More than what we all expected a few weeks ago.

[Spanky__99]

That was a YES, followed by a NOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo... 

[Smokinitup420]

Well atleast Luke’s is showing us it’s a widespread low baseball IQ for the whole team 

[Abomination]

How the hell does that even happen at the major league level?

Yeah we are getting to the point where it’s time to shut it down and get ready for next year

Not worth pushing Cease, Soriano, Trey, etc. when we can’t hit and the rotation features Scherzer, SWR and Spaghetti

the play was right in front of him and he thought he could make it - that was a perfect relay by Collins

It really doesn’t matter if he takes 2nd though. Hell they’d probably give it to him on indifference the next play anyway.

Sorry but its baseball 101 to not even take a 1% chance when youre not even the tying run. 

0 excuse for that play and many other plays this team continues to make.  

[hanton]

Fire the base running coach, we really should try what Boston did and clean house

The first base coach signalled him to hold.  He went anyway.

One guy wants to fire the manager for this, the other the 1st base coach.  That's 100% on Lukes guys.  Pillar even explained that to you on the post game...

Lukes is our heart and soul guy.  A guy who makes limited mistakes and generally has a high baseball IQ.  It's a good reminder that even guys like him will make mistakes. It just came at the worst possible time.

I hope scapegoating the wrong people makes you feel better.

Yes, I said it is all Lukes fault but I blame the manager's job is to correct the ovetall stupidity of the team or else what purpose does he have. You cant trade 40 players but you can fire a manager or GM or President. 

Its why theyve been scapegoats in professional sports for years (right or wrong).  If it were up to you, no one would get fired in professional sports lol.

That's just a narrative you make up in your mind to hate on me.

Show me a manager you think has perfected the art of making their team/players avoid bad/stupid decisions please.  I just don't buy that fixing baseball IQ and/or avoiding stupid decisions is something managers have a lot of control over.  

Sure - it starts with accountability and a culture, but as I've stated before, I rarely, if ever, see managers pulling players from games when they make a mistake like that.  If there were managers/teams that regularly did this and accomplished  sustained and clear signs of running a "tight ship" with much fewer mental errors - real evidence, then I'd buy it.  But I've yet to really see that.  You just think the players are all stupid and the manager makes all kinds of stupid decisions because you watch the Jays daily.  If you followed another team as close, I fully expect you'd find yourself whining and *****ing about the same things.
