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.

Anyone have that Blue Jays s***ing on the yankees pic? Way to go Jays!!!

This is usually the narrative in a knockout game...something that hasn't happened all season suddenly does and it's all over. Thankfully the Jays got this out of the way in game 3 while being up 2-0 in the series; I wouldn't be surprised if tomorrow the script is flipped and the bullpen has a great game to seal the deal.

Meh, Bieber really let the team down; a couple innings of zeroes were sorely needed from him and he came up short. The tone was set by IKF's early error too, sadly. It's just one game and a sweep is very difficult to accomplish. Let's see how they play over the final 3 innings and go from there.

Negative launch angle, right into the ground

Let him eat. Need to get at least 5 innings out of him. Let's get a 5 spot next half inning and ease the pressure on the pen

f*** that's too bad

Just need the Orioles to keep it close. Yanks bullpen is due for a meltdown.

We could win a bullpen game again against the Rays on Sunday for sure, but if we need to rely on an Orioles win to grab the division you can't risk not having Gausman available for the wild card series. I still feel like the Yanks are due for a loss. Today would be ideal.

Rally killer. It would be one thing if he was hitting the ball hard and right at guys, but weak contact grounders almost every time. Team isn't gonna go far without him getting out of this funk.

Petty maybe, but we are still ahead of them based on tiebreaker. Alphabet be damned!!

I hate how the MLB site now shows the Yankees name above the Jays. We're technically still in first.

That out is just so typical of the jays lately, brutal luck

I was saying that only because it seems likely the jays may only win 2-3 of the final 5 games based on matchups. I feel like tomorrow's game is the most important one they have. Beat Crochet, get some confidence.

4 games, no? It's sad but we really need the Yankees to lose 2 games

Brutal day all around

Not a great time of year for a swoon like this. Can't be all on Bo being out either. Hopefuly the pressure isn't getting to them

They are 2-3 on the road trip, not 0-5 LOL. Take a look at most teams' road records, home games are where the best teams shine while remaining around .500 on the road. Sure, the offense looked like s*** the past 3 games but that's happened more than a few times since late May when the team took off. Just part of baseball. You're telling me that if Max doesn't give up 7 runs in the first inning that the Royals are still going to score 13 more in the game? The Jays obviously took their foot off the gas being down so much early and feeling demoralized but tomorrow is another day! You obviously haven't watched much baseball to think this is 100% representative of any kind of long-term spiraling; all teams go through stretches like this. I don't think going .500 over the rest of their 8 games (with 6 of them being home games where the Jays have excelled this season) is in any way overly optimistic. As I said earlier, the Yankees going undefeated for the rest of the season while possible, is entirely unlikely - even against bottom feeders. Bottom line is that the Jays control their own destiny here and hopefully they can get back on the winning track tomorrow and help us forget today's debacle!

Honestly, hoping the jays can take at least one game in KC. 3-4 trip against two teams that have always given us fits on the road isn't that bad. Assuming the Yanks lose only one more game this year (likely they'll drop 2-3 more) and the Jays just need to go 3-3 at home where they always play like a different team. Nothing guaranteed for sure but things are still looking good.

This bodes very poorly for Saturday and Sunday. 7+ innings needed from the pen today, ouch.

Not gonna win many games scoring one run. This is on the offense so far

Hindsight 20/20 but if Vlad busts it out of the box there he might've actually had a shot to be safe.

Who was IKF hitting for?

Lame pitching changes bite us again. Guys are dealing, just leave them be!

He has a sore back from swinging
