2022 Blue Jays Season Thread

[ben voyonsdonc]

Anyways, I’m sorry for offending you with mildly expressing my disappointment about the way that the Blue Jays handed that game away.

Edited to add: my comment about hating baseball was a joke because just a few minutes before I talked about how great of a sport baseball is.

I don't know man. The fundamentals seem alright to me.

7th best fielding percentage in the majors.
7th best in terms of errors per game.
3 best team on base percentage.
Team WRC+ 3rd behind the Dodgers and Yankees.

They're a good team. It's not worth taking a magnifying glass to one half inning and extrapolating it into something that isn't there.

Yes they are a good team. That wasn’t in question. I said you’d expect better execution from a team that is playoff team. That’s it. It was pretty mild criticism from of a fan of a team that had a really bad inning. Can we move on?

Anyways, I’m excited to see what Mitch White does tomorrow. He might be a great addition as a long man or 5th replacement/6th starter.

Berrios has to find a way to be more consistent. He strung a good month together, and bad starts happen, but the Jays need a reliable #3 starter that can start a playoff game and it's probably not going to be Stripling, Kikuchi or White.

Get your crap together man.

FTR, I agree with you. I was watching the game last night with a buddy of mine and when all those errors were happening late in the game the two of us were just shaking our heads, it was ugly baseball. But it is what it is, a good team having a rough outing. Just stung since they had a great comeback and the game was right there for the taking.

The Merrifield pickup looks even better now

Bo with another terrible AB.

Lol Bo is so bad now, it's hilarious. Even just visually, the last at bat it literally looked like he held off on the pitch and then shrugged and said "**** it, I'll just swing and get back to the dugout".

Thornton could have stuck him out

They're not starting to put the rain gear on, pat!!! It's been raining since the start and everyone who had gear has been wearing it the whole time. Man, it feels like listening to a color commentator saying canned stuff in a video game based on weather settings.

It’s “folksy”

Hazel needs to get revenge against Shulman and Tabler

Water is wet - Tabler on every pitch

Mitch White looks like Chan Ho Park.

*all Asians look alike.

Forcing Dan to say “Fri-yay” multiple times seems like decent revenge.
