  1. It may be early, but it’s rapidly going to become too late to crawl out of this hole in the division we’re in.

  2. Id like to thank the Blue Jays for adding to my depression after last nights Leafs game. Toronto sports are something else.

  3. This season is spiraling for this team, and while there’s still time to right the ship, their running outta room. Losing 2/3, both losses as comebacks, sucks.

  4. They gotta do something for a shakeup.

    Don’t know what it is but it’s unacceptable the play lately.

  5. Watch first bit of game, we’re actually getting runs, sick!

    Walk away, do some chores, come back to a Manoah masterclass. Any other pitcher today and we take that, I think .

  6. Genuinely horrific performance from the pitching. How did all of our relievers besides Garcia forget how to pitch over the winter?

  7. Offense is good, pitching is bad.

    Pitching is good, offense is bad.

    We can never have both, this team just can’t make both happen in the same game. I just don’t get it.

  8. As bad as a non sweep gets. I think I’m resigned to whatever happens at this point. Either they go on a 10 game run in streak, get back into it, and finally realize their potential OR they continue to be one of the worst teams in baseball, blow it up at the deadline, and then we at least get the excitement of seeing what some of the kids can do at the major league level while restocking the farm.

    I loved watching this generation of this team and it has some of my favorite all time Blue Jays, but it’s just not working.

  9. Is Manoah the Jim Carey of baseball? Not talking about the comedian/actor. Carey was a goalie for the Washington Capitals in the mid-90’s. Had a spectacular rookie season and won the Vezina, only to completely fall apart and be out of the league within 5 years. It wasn’t a substance abuse/injury issue, the guy just lost his game and never recovered.

  10. The good – Vlad is looking like Vlad more and more. Davis is a legit hitter. We scored a lot of runs

    The bad – everything else. Manoah flashed but looked really shakey. Bo can’t hit. When was the last time Springer had a big hit for this team? The bullpen is bad. Really bad. We miss Yimi and Green dearly.

    Lineup should be: Davis, Varsho, Vlad, Turner, Jano going forward

  11. Last in AL East, lost a series to the Nats, wasted 8 runs from the underpowered offence and Manoah looks as bad as ever. 👍

  12. Would we have been swept if the Nationals didn’t commit so many errors?

  13. If this team is still last in the AL East by July they need to be sellers and blow up this team. With the expanded playoffs more teams tend to be buyers rather than sellers around the trade deadline and the Jays could potentially stock their farm system that is currently depleted. I just hope someone besides Ross Atkins is in charge of a rebuild.

  14. I don’t know how ownership doesn’t clean house sooner than later.

    The guys on the big league team are bad.

    There’s no one coming up to take their place.

    Drafting, developing, running a big league team. Failure on all fronts from this front office and coaching staff. They have no redeeming quality. Usually maybe they are good at managing vets but struggle to develop, or the opposite. They just stink at everything aside from bringing in high-priced starters.

  15. Well I’ve decided to go with my “this team is bad” attitude. In seasons where I don’t see the team making the playoffs I shift to just trying to enjoy each individual game and forget the standings. I watch players like Schneider and Jansen and Varsho and enjoy it for what it is. If they win that’s a plus.

    Because brother, this team isn’t winning a thing this year.

  16. Yeah we’re fucked practically everywhere

    – Pitching isn’t nearly as dominant and likely ruined our best prospect in some time (Manoah)

    – Bullpen looks like garbage. I keep saying why are they playing x but almost everyone has been bad.

    – offense is garbage. Maybe this game serves to get Vlad back in track, but way too many damn holes still.

    The season is long, but each of the issues are very very significant and will take a ton to fix. Seems more likely that we are going to go in free fall mode. Seems like the only player who looks better than last year is Berrios (and maybe Kikuchi)
