This is what its about.
Yeah, I'm really enjoying watching my team completely tank the last month of the season.

I don't mean that though. I mean he says it 4 or 5 times every game.

Yeah he's a bit repetitive overall - as is Tabler. Probably the biggest weakness of this crew.
But this is still way better than not having meaningful baseball this time of year, as was the case for 2 decades.
So I say enjoy it.

Tabler's just a terrible homer

Watching meaningful baseball is fun, but not when they start losing 80% of their games when it becomes really meaningful.

This is torture. I hate losing, and this team is choking hard right now.

To add:
I've loved the addition of Dan Schulman to the crew from time to time this year. That is just wonderful.
But the drawback is when he's not there, it underscores that this crew isn't that great.

Oh Jose. Where's your head at.
Teams know he has no arm out there anymore and are taking advantage of it. Kinda sad to see.

The Jays really needed a much better outing from Sanchez today. Giving the bullpen this long to try to hold them in the game is a recipe for disaster.

This team banked on their offence repeating a Record pace from last year and didn't put any money in pitching. The pitching surprised for most of the year, but the minute they came back to earth, this beam started to struggle and it's being really highlighted with the steady dose of AL East teams to end the season.

Runs scored against in every inning but one so far today.

Straight up terrible.

This isn't really true.
- They signed Happ
- They signed Estrada
- They traded for Lariano
- They traded for Storen (didn't end up being a good move, but they still did it)

I don't think you can say they didn't put any money in pitching.You say these things like they are fact, and they just aren't true.

I have to watch a bunch of games in the US and I think Buck and Pat are the best tandem in baseball - well, the AL anyway, I don't watch much NL so I can't say.

I think it is pretty safe to say that, unless Bautista puts this team on his shoulders for the remainder of the season, there is no way that he is back next year.

The terrible bullpen from the start of the year is really coming back to haunt the jays now.

Especially Cecil, and also Storen.

Cecil is the really tough one though, given how good he was last summer. Those 7 losses would be nice to have back at this point.

Yeah honestly I'm over having him on the team.
He's been a great Jay but his best days are now clearly behind him - and he doesn't set a great example. When he channels his anger it can help him, but often his frustration gets the best of him.

Time to move on.
