  1. Jamie Campbell: “This was a fascinating game!”

    Yeah, that’s one way to put it.

  2. At some point you’ve got to fire Guillermo Martinez here

    It might not work but they’re out of options

  3. During this albatross of a game, I was curious, since the last time the Jays scored 5 runs was on **APRIL 6TH**, how does this team, 9th in the MLB payroll, compare against the other teams in the top 10 in payroll, and when was the last time they scored 5 runs.

    1. Mets ($307 Million) (13-11) – April 25th, with 8 runs

    2. Yankees ($306 Million) (17-9) – April 24th, with 7 runs

    3. Astros ($249 Million) (7-19) – April 14th, with 8 runs

    4. Phillies ($244 Million) (16-10) – April 22nd, with 7 runs

    5. Rangers ($230 Million) (13-13) – April 21st, with 6 runs

    6. Braves ($229 Million) (17-6)- April 19th, with 8 runs

    7. Dodgers ($227 Million) (16-11) – Today, with 12 Runs

    8. Cubs ($227 Million) (16-9) – Today, with 7 runs

    **9. BLUE JAYS ($226 Million) (13-14)- **APRIL 6TH**, with 9 runs**

    10. Giants ($197 Million) (12-14) – April 20th, with 9 runs

    In summary, this team’s lack of an ability to score more runs is baffling, despite the willingness to spend, which so far, is showing no return positive return.

  4. I dont know what to think anymore. I posted YESTERDAY that i have higher hopes for this team and i believe they can get there but its still concerning. Bassitt melted down but still, if we cant sneak more than two runs by Gavin Stone, who is far from the Dodgers ace, thats an issue. What happens when we run into the Glasnows of the world? The Burnes, the Coles, can our pitching really keep EVERY team in EVERY game to one run? Ofc not.

    At least Springer is showing signs of life at least. Vlad gets on base more than he did last year but he certainly isnt hitting for power. I feel BAD for Bo, i wonder if hes nursing a secret innury or smth. I bet soon we start seeing the same type of articles they wrote about Vlad last season, but about Bo. ‘What is happening to this star hitter who is no longer hitting’?

    Its just getting embarrassing. The plauers must feel embarrassed. Shoutouts to all the buffalo boys, Turner, and Varsho. I want to believe but when its the same issues from 2023 its hard.

  5. It’s sad watching a team with a bad offense, that you knew would be bad, and still didn’t make any effort to fix that in the offseason.

    I’m watching the season just praying some of these guys have career years at the plate bc that’s really the only way this offense fixes up

  6. Not outta the question to just trade or not re-sign Vladdy, holy shit it’s getting horrible to watch

    The fear is he’ll get fixed by a different team

  7. This team will not win anything with the core and the management in place. There’s no cohesion, no unity, no one cares, Bo is mentally checked out and waiting to leave, Vladdy just doesn’t hate losing enough, Springer is old. Atkins is incapable of doing anything that the laptops don’t tell him to do and Schneider is just a minor league manager who has absolutely no clue what he’s doing.

  8. Welp I ain’t paying full price at A&W so Burger Boy won’t be getting much money from me.

  9. So when is it a good time to break up the top of the order? Schneider said he can’t give up on guys this early. We’re a little over 15% through the season. They did Montoyo dirty, I hope to see him have the same fate.

  10. Our 1-3 hitters are below average now 27 games into the season, you can throw it’s early out of the window.

    Springer is coming to life a little bit but either way the 2 supposed to be franchise cornerstones are playing terribly, and both are free agents at next season’s end.

  11. Shocker! Team that has horrible offence does nothing to fix it in off-season and gets destroyed! Who would’ve thought…

  12. Is vlad like 2 for his last 22? I missed the game so they may have discussed this.

  13. I actually found it funny that the crowd was more upset at shohei instead of this pathetic excuse for a baseball team that actually plays for this team.

    Ross atkins and his entire staff need to be fired man I cant watch this god awful team anymore. Their decision making, lack of offseason moves and their inability to fix this offense is just mind boggling.

  14. I’ve agreed and disagree with Schneider a few times this year. But he made his most egregious error of the year today, even worse than letting Vogelbach hit against a lefty with runners on on Wednesday.

    While I didn’t love him taking out Richards and Pearson earlier than necessary, unnecessarily costing Mayza and Swanson, that’s not the error.

    The issue was using IKF to pitch when Clements and his knuckleball were right there! Why not let him loose?

  15. These guys are ass. Not in the sense that they’re actually a BAD baseball team but just so so so uninspired and underwhelming. Unfortunately the sad part is that they’re also just a ridiculously lame group of players so not even a fun watch. Really a shame.
