  2. They showed some life at the end and that’s what I’m taking from today’s game! Onto the next

  3. I don’t say this to be snarky or rude, but if you just recently started following baseball more closely and you’re planning to go to the Dome: do not boo the Blue Jays. Especially not in March.

    We play 162 games in this sport for a reason; we are assuredly going to lose 60-something baseball games this year, if not more. Baseball has a ton of variance and it takes a large sample to separate the good from the bad. If you choose to go to a game, you should be prepared to see them lose, because there is a solid chance that they will.

    This is not hockey, and the Jays are not the Leafs. We’re also not New York baseball fans. We don’t boo them for bad performances in March. If they have some terrible collapse late in the season and things look dire, then that’s a different story, but we’ve got 40-something losses to endure before that even becomes possible.

    The players talk a lot about how great the fanbase is. Don’t degrade our reputation by behaving like the lowest common denominator of sports fans. Tonight’s reaction to Brendon Little’s struggles was embarrassing, and I say that as someone with little faith in his abilities.

  4. Also gonna be real funny in October when we look back at this game as the only loss of our season

  7. Paul Skenes 67.50 ERA in 2026. Tyler Heineman 22.50 ERA in 2026. What a time to be alive.

  8. Ponce injury sucks but little making the game even further unreachable was the nail in the coffin

  9. Okay, 161-1 will suffice

    Prayers for Cody, hopefully it’s not serious 🙏🏻

    First appearance in the MLB in years and this is what happens, my heart breaks for him

  12. It is fine. Just one game. I am more worried about Little’s mental state and Ponce’s physical state.

  13. This is all my fault. Tonight…that ONE match I didn’t have time to watch…!!!! 😭

  14. Such a likeable team man we’re blessed. They were fighting down right to the end

  15. I didn’t think the Jays would finish 162-0, so the loss of the game is not that disappointing today.

    Losing Ponce, though, is the big loss today.

  18. Can’t win them all, Scherzer will turn the tide for tomorrow.

    Hoping Ponce returns sooner than later.

  19. not even fazed at all. clearly that ponce injury sucked the energy out of the team and felt like a root cause for some errors throughout. hope he’s alright, and a much bigger concern than the loss tonight.

    but man… little’s mental’s gotta be rock bottom.

  23. Okamoto’s 250th NPB and MLB combined home run. Too bad the game and even the HR call was chaotic!

  26. If they keep fighting even during blowouts, they’ll be very hard to play against all season

  29. Beyond the rough pitching from little, and the cease injury, today was simply not for the Jays to win. Rockies found a hole on everything put in play, some weird errors and bobbles, and a funk that came through the tv set.
    They’ll get them tomorrow
    Edit: Ponce. Got my white boys with flow and a stache mixed up my 🅱️

  30. I saw a post on Insta about the Rockies being horrible on the road and the Jays could match 6-0 from 1992 and thought – uh oh, trap game. They’ll rebound so hard.

  31. For all the new fans, baseball is a weird sport. Games like this happen, you mostly forget it and move on. It’s not really like hockey or basketball where you can scrutinize a crazy score differential like this.

    On the bright side, 4 games in and I’m loving Okamoto. If he keeps this up he’s going to be hugely important in filling up Bo’s production on offence while letting Clement and Giminez be defensive anchors at short and 2nd.

  33. Honestly, we were never winning that game. It was a wonky night right from the jump. I saw Kirk fumble more balls in that one game than I’ve seen him do ever, it’s so unlike him. Same with Ernie, just a very off night. And Cody…I really hope he’s okay 😭 he had really good swing-and-miss/chase stuff for a bit but you could tell he was nervous, and then he went down.

    We were always going to be due for an off game in the course of 162. Shame it had to come against the Rockies, lol, that’s a bit embarrassing, but it’s fine.

  34. forget this game entirely

    the Ponce injury derailed every part of the game. Kirk couldn’t hold on to the ball, the outfielders were booting the ball around, and Little had a rough, rough outing because of it.

    Still like the ‘no quit’ even when down that many.

  35. Y’know, after the disappointment, that was… oddly fun? Just in how absurdly ridiculous it was.

    The guys were obviously rattled by Ponce’s injury, and once you start making mistakes, it’s easy to spiral. It would be one thing if it was a pattern, but the errors and defensive misses were so out-of-character and clearly linked to watching your teammate go down, I don’t think it’s worrying long term. The fact that they got off a handful of home runs is a good sign.

    And with that worry out of the way, the sheer absurdity and dark comedy comes through, and it became pretty entertaining.

    I just hope Ponce is okay.

  36. I dunno how many more times I can say that I never want to see Little pitch for us again. Nothing against him. Happy for what he did last year in the regular season. Hope he has a decent career (somewhere else). I just don’t want him to be a Blue Jay ever again. Still.

  38. At this point I think Little just has a major case of the Yips, and needs to build his confidence in AAA for a bit.

  39. Still a lot of good for the Jays in this game.

    Also, it’s early and baseball is back and MLB is a tiny burning ball of light in a world getting darker all the time sooooooo, I don’t give a fuck if we get blown out once in a while.

  40. I know people have a lot of negative reactions to the booing but the atmosphere was overall positive throughout the whole 9 innings from the fans. Batters got big cheers coming to the plate down by 10+ and the crowd was cheering loudly for Heineman. It wasn’t like people booed the team out of the stadium. Only Little got heckled and booed.

  42. Crazy that today’s game was cancelled due to a country wide power outage. Good thing we play tomorrow!
