The kids outside are playing some game where the scoring appears to be 5 points 1 billion points 1 trillion points

Jays pitching had 1 bad inning the last time through the entire rotation. And it was from probably the most unlikeliest dude.

Hoffman was unfairly scapegoated for the team's failures this year. Not that he wasn't frustrating, but also was made to wear the first half of a terrible year while many other, much guiltier players skated by. A fun reliever and a fun dude. Will cherish the Game 7 against Seattle forever.

I’ve prepared myself already for Varsho to hit a huge 3-run homer off the Jays this series now.

The most gutting thing about this season for me has been all the moments of hope that materialized into reality last season are extinguished in a variety of fashions this year.

Another Sunday loss means it's been 8 weeks since they last won on a Sunday, June 7th. (7 losses, 1 PPD) In these 7 losses they've combined to score 11 total runs. Someone look into what they are all doing Saturday nights.

It's interesting to wonder if these last 6 outs they have to work with this game change the deals that end up being made. I don't think they should or will in the Jays current position.

The Blue Jays have hit a total of 1 home run in their last 8+ home games. Start hitting some dingers dudes.

86 wins looks like it's going to get you in the postseason in the AL, meaning the Jays need a 34-17 run, exactly 2 out of every 3 games. How many seasons have they had a stretch that good? 84, 85, 87, 89, 93, 99, 03, 15, 21, 25

The thing about the Jays being buyers is like the guys they have should generally just be better but yes.

My whole thought on the trade deadline distilled, “fuck you we’re making the postseason”.

Jays now 3 for 33 with 1 walk with bases loaded and two out. 14 straight plate appearances have led to an out. Their last hit in the situation was in May.

Icing the opposing starter by giving up 4 runs after 50 pitches, 6 walks and a pitching change is a bold strategy but we’ll see how it plays out.

Y'all ever break glass and are challenged with, "How do I dispose of this?" Like, a normal garbage can and you risk yourself or a household member cutting themselves, or tear the bag. Most of the time I just walk directly to our complex dumpster with it.

Jay’s with bases loaded, 2 out in the first inning. Groundout Strikeout Strikeout Strikeout Strikeout Strikeout Overall they’re 3 for 31 now and 0 for their last 12.

I want to go on record that I have faith the Jays will turn it around. The thing about guys who are career bad over long stretches is eventually the good aligns.
