and the jays desperately need a win. The team's confidence is completely shot

Imagine the pressure on everyone in the bullpen right now, thinking if they give up 1 run they are toast, which has been pretty much the case lately. This offence is embarrassing.

 

[Bad News Benning]

why the **** wouldn't you use Danny barnes against the lefty?? He's a much better "loogy" option than Matt Dermody who shouldn't even be on the roster in the first place.

Gibbons is heading towards a pink slip at this rate.

 

[Marshy]

Bad timing for the collapse. Pre TDL would have worked out much better.

 

[HarrisonFord]

Something, something, 18-wheeler

Is it time to push the panic button

If you weren't panicking a few weeks ago there is an issue
. This team has sucked for awhile now. Guaranteed miss playoffs. Ee and bau walk fot nothing. This franchise all of sudden is a joke

brb crying


my only solace is that I was supposed to go to this game but plans unfortunately (fortunately?) changed.

No, they need an offensive explosion.

They've won 3 games over this period and they've done absolutely nothing for their confidence. Another win today because of great bullpen pitching is unlikely to help them in the long haul.

Pitching is not our problem right now. Throughout the bullpen, they've been good enough to give us wins, if our offense produces like they should and can. The fact that they haven't produced is all that is making the bullpen look horrific.

Pretty sure Ortiz is hitting .000 against Dermody in his career, guy must be good

 

[Loosie]

I just don't want to see Dermoddy anymore this season.

 

[Patmac40]

You have to trust that guys like Biagini, Feldmen, Cecil can manage to keep the game close. By your logic Grilli, Benoit and Osuna would pitch everyday and in every close game. It cant work that way, there has to be a level of trust for all members of the bullpen.

I'm fine with Biagini, Feldman and Cecil coming in, but why the hell do we keep giving Dermody, Barnes and Tepera (though he can be alright) chances to widen the opponents lead?

Think a bit of a stretch, don't you think? There really wouldn't be words if they can't hang on to a wc spot.

At this point, are we really thinking that's a bad thing?

We had an offensive explosion on Sunday. Every time we took the lead, we gave it up.

Barnes hasn't been that bad either.

work thing to happen in blow outs is for things like that to happen. Dermody gets Ortiz and now Gibbons will use him every other game thinking he's a good loogy option.

Truth is that Dermody sucks and wasn't impressive at all down in AAA. No idea why they called him up in the first place.

This team might miss out on a Wild Card spot at this point.

[Josh92]

This team just cannot catch a break in anyway shape or form

 

[GoonieFace]

We had an offensive explosion on Sunday. Every time we took the lead, we gave it up.

They had 3 innings of offence, difference was Boston was able to score later in the game while the Jays fell asleep after the 4th inning. Thats 1 game in the last who knows how many that the offence did anything. Its very worrisome.

 

[Josh92]

Un ****ing real

 

[Loosie]

This team just cannot catch a break in anyway shape or form

Pretty much, and Buck just summed it well. Breaks going against us on both sides.

 

[Leafsdude7]

We had an offensive explosion on Sunday. Every time we took the lead, we gave it up.

I mean we need an extended offensive explosion, or a game where the offense wins us a game.

 

[Loosie]

Wtf!

 

[Del Preston]

3-9 in September

 

[Bad News Benning]

This team might miss out on a Wild Card spot at this point.

this 4 game set against the Angels will pretty much be the season. Anything less than 3 of 4 and you can pretty much put the nail in the coffin.
