Not a horrible job. But Mullins got fried by him in the 9th. I always like it when we get a bad ump call but my mind then quickly goes to "we need robo umps now". It would be fairer and better for all in the game.

100% fair.

Makes me crazy. Maybe Soria got screwed on the check but he started off 3-0. BB the lead off guy and really bad things happen a lot. Mayza has been money. The 2 seamer is killing it.

Surely the Rays didn’t teach him Valera > Kirk vs RHP because he can sorta bat LH?

Valera. Both homely and useless scrub. Keep trying Charlie. Eventually a bunt will work out for us.

I'm a die hard since inception. I'm not as glass half full Jays fan as I'd like to be, and I'm no FO fanboy. So my wife is used to me Jays bitching. I find most Jays seasons frustrating, but this one is a whole new level. This pied piper narrative that Shatkins is playing for 4D chess and we will contend NEXT YEAR and well into the future, I just don't buy. I just don't see it...yet...at least. What gets easier in 2022 as Ray and Marcus WAR evaporates, unless we pay big $ just to get back to where we were. Guys are hitting Arb years. Whats it cost to give us a truly competitive bullpen next year? Our division is absolutely brutal, but its our reality. This team this year could have made a real push. We had a s*** pen, a s*** manager and no impact LHH options (no disrespect to Dickerson and Tellez didnt hit for us). All of those issues were addressable for a price. Nates looking like a semi-bust. There are some good looking positives in the farm to move or develop. We have some moveable semi-assets on the roster. We'll see. We are standing on our head to rationalize the Berrios deal, but this Board is/was full of wet dream posts about the assets we gave up...who are apparently worthless now. To me we half assed the deadline and poked a hole in the narrative about the thousand year Reich competitive team notion moving what we did for a year of Berrios to backstop Ray loss. Anyway...I'll be keeping an eye on tonight of course and the Jays but man this has been a rough one, save the emergence of Vlad.

Red Sox self destructing and we lose to the O’s with our own unique brand of f***ery and overall s***** play. Depressing. (Also punt Valera!!)

Without a doubt. We have said this many times. But it would be a miracle to make the 2nd wildcard now. This team just isn’t that good. They haven’t given much indication they could pull off the streak they need to, while at the same time getting help from others. It’s too bad. I don’t think it gets any easier in 2022.

28 pitches but out of it. Let’s hope Ryu gets dialed in and has some low pitch count innings.

Chisox paying $32mm/year for 2 pen arms. 19 and 20 Kimbrel struggled. Building a pen is tough. So volatile. At the other end of the spectrum Underinvest, bargain bin shop in the slightly damaged aisle, and have some bad luck = the 2021 Jays.

Horrible trade FO when we needed to add real value in the pen at the deadline. Good job FO taking the heat and cutting bait.

A rash is someone I just can't listen to. He asks questions so slowly he has this "aren't I precious and so smart" way about it. As if he is always trying to make it about him. And the questions are using nebulous and off point. Thats just my 2 cents. He makes me scramble for the mute button.

Its that sub 5% BB rate that kills him. Just doesn't have good pitch selection so they throw him s*** until he stops swinging at s***. He may never. He has been better last few months to be sure.

Randal rockin' a 90 wRC+ and a 0.6 WAR season after 500 PAs. Handy 4th OF to have around but after hot couple months, a complete tank.

Little lost tonight with Vlad big flies and Springer returning, but Bo slapping that ball through the right side with the infield in for a big run was huge. Teo followed up. So good to see.

Ya. It sucks. But I agree. Charlie has pen PTSD. Thornton walking the lead off guy 5 runs up against the Os didn’t help his case.

Thats cool but honestly could give two f***s about pitcher wins. Put a W in the Jays column and I’m happy. Ray is gonna get paid regardless of his W-L stat.

What a welcome sight to see Teo drive in some runs and Vladdy catch a couple. If he is hot and Springer can stay in the line up they could at least make it interesting.

Happy and shocked we won that. Nice outing for Romano. Another great start. Got to think this offence will heat up again. Hopefully tomorrow!

Leaffie and Joe Siddel dropping truth bombs.

…and there it is. FFS what an awful game in CF.

No reason we can’t win this but I’m pre conditioned to inevitable bad close game outcomes this season.

Slap hitting Richard Urena double. f*** off Charlie. Pisses me off so much.

Horrible route and s***** attempt on a tough play but catchable ball for a guy who can’t hit much. Tie game.

He probably would. He had the yips at 2B. Not sure about his hands and feet on the IF. Some of the guys on here would know more. He came up as IF’er.
