Man. Bo's just so cool. I've read that article a couple times now and he just comes off as such a rad dude.

[flamingred89]

These Cleveland hitters are bloody annoying. They don't strike out and foul off everything.

[Jason14h]

And we’re facing Cy Young today apparently

[flamingred89]

So typical of this season. Trying to get a run together and you got you're defacto ace on the mound against a guy who has a 7+ ERA are you're going to get shutout.

Eli Morgan, 76mph Changeup and 92mph Elevated Fastball, Overlay/slow

That changeup looks like it has a parachute. �� https://t.co/34q5vZ8IIy

[flamingred89]

Thank you Vladdy! 2-2!

[flamingred89]

A little unlucky for that ball Teo hit to be run down and caught. But the rest of that inning was a bunch of horrible at-bats. This team just flat out sucks late in games. Going to extra's and not holding out a lot of hope.

[flamingred89]

Hahaha and Cleveland just blowing it open in the 10th.

Someone needs to tell Montoyo to manage his ####ing players and tell them to change their approach late in games. The hack away at garbage outside the zone trying to be hero's wont get them into the playoffs.

[Jason14h]

That first pitch wild pitch messed up the whole inning

2nd hit would have been an out with infield back

Then you prob walk / pitch around Ramerez

Typical Jays extra innings

[bluejays]

McGuire has his head in the sand. Should’ve easily made it to third. Won’t make a difference but he can’t be sleeping.

[Ducay]

Jays pen back in form

[Samonadreau]

Cant win'em all. 3-1 now back at rogers center. Win the next one and keep rolling.

[KelVarnsen]

Have the Jays won a game in extra innings yet this season? Seems like they lose every time it’s extras

[Roof-Daddy]

Right on, that's what they brought Brad Hand in for. To continue the losing tradition of the 2021 Blue Jays bullpen.

[Roof-Daddy]

Jays probably should have put up more runs against the starting pitcher with a 7+ ERA

Pretty much. This team is not going to go on any winning streaks if they keep being crap in late innings. You just know they’re not going to score and eventually the bullpen will let in runs. Just horrific how bad they’ve been in so many games.

Yep. It was maddening watching them look lost against a guy tossing 90mph meatballs.

On paper the Jays were coming in on a 4 game winstreak, had Robbie Ray on the bump facing a rookie with a 7.5era. A game that most teams should win in their sleep.

It was also a very off start time at the Rogers centre and the shadows were atrocious. Should've closed the dome for some semblance of a home field advantage instead of hand cuffing your superior offense by not allowing them to see

[Kasi]

Keegan went over it in his article today. https://www.mlb.com/bluejays/news/vl...oss-to-indians

Innings 1-6: .827 OPS 1st in majors
7-on: .685 OPS 20th in majors

Until the Jays figure this crap out they’re not going to be winning many close games.

Well, he's been pitching in AAA and lighting it up.

11.2 IP
0.77 ERA
0.514 WHIP
15 Ks
3 Walks

Apparently the Jays just sent him to the Brewers for cash though.

Poor guy made his first appearance tonight and suffered an elbow injury
