Walks will kill ya.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Very unusual for Strip to give up these walks. He knows he f***ed up.

 

[Swervin81]

 

[Cleetus]

dang that ball was hit hard exit velo 122 mph

 

[canucksfan]

 

[red devil]

Judge just homered again he is their entire offense

 

[Suntouchable13]

Ok Whit, your mom and dad are there. Do something! Or just hit into a double play, f***!

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

This team let's teams hang around because they can't get hits in these situations.

 

[Kurtz]

Merrifield is killing us out there. Between the DP and that ball that he should have caught, he's cost us about 3 runs today.

 

[Suntouchable13]

I don't know what goes into decisions on who plays where. Like, why did they decide Merrifield starts today and not Jackie? Neither can hit a lick anyway. Just curious.

 

[canucksfan]

Jays just love double plays

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

Ugh vladdy. Look for a pitch to drive instead of a pitch you can drive into the ground.

 

[TMLeafer]

Vladdy again groundball after groundball


Thank you Teo!

 

[TGB]

What's this? Vladdy might lead the league in double plays? Gee, who could have seen that coming?

 

[TMLeafer]

What a catch!

 

[Kurtz]

If Bradley came in as a defensive sub in the 7th, why was Merrifield allowed to hit with bases loaded when Springer is on the bench?

Schneider continues to baffle.

 

[phillipmike]

I feel conflicted on who I want to win between Rays and Yankees today. I guess it doesn't really matter as long as the Jays win. Getting within 5 of the division lead is tantalizingly close, tho.

You want the Rays to win. Gets you closer to the division lead and if you dont get the division, then its better the Rays get it so you dont have to play them in the WC round. Would rather play the Yankees in the WC round than the Rays.

Wonder if they want to give Springer the day off?

 

[CabanaBoy5]

Another 9 men left on base so far. It’s a problem, people. We’re letting the Pirates hang around.

It's the ground balls that hurt. At least Chapman had a hard-hit line drive but it was just at a defender.

 

[red devil]

Agreed, plus Bichette hit the ball to the alley with runners on but the LF made a great catch

 

[CabanaBoy5]

Agreed, but the end result is men left on base regardless. But you’re right, the approach should be to at least put the ball in the air.

 

[Cloned]

Has a team ever fired their hitting coach after a season where they had a Top 5 offense? Because it might happen with the Jays.

 

[Kurtz]

Wonder if they want to give Springer the day off?

Sure, but one at-bat wouldn't have killed him.

 

[canucksfan]

Sure, but one at-bat wouldn't have killed him.

We don’t know that unless they said he’s available as a pinch hitter and I missed it.
