Orioles don't get another DP, the Jays have founds ways of hitting into it. Another frustrating up and down inning.

Why didn't they try and bunt Donaldson to third?

He needs to make contact one way or another. You have to move the runner there or you get what just happened. All year this has been their let down.

What a joke. One pitch. Pray you don't give up a run here or it's good as over

That's probably your ball game. Showalter made an awful mistake not going to Britton and the Jays couldn't take advantage. You can't let teams hang around when you've had chance after chance.

C'mon Jays. Lead off double with none out and you can't move him 90 feet with the game on the line?
Seems this happens every game.

Apparently Buck knows what he's doing more than I do... And I've watched at least 10 games this year.

It was the right call. Jose has a clutch history, has the ability to end the game with one swing, and is often able to draw the walk. The pitcher just did his job a little better.

What pisses me off is that the Jays have twice ruined promising innings by getting impatient and hacking away at a new reliever's first pitch.

After Osuna pitches, are we bringing in Liriano?

The way we hit he might be the smartest guy in the park.

That's because it does. The Jays get more guys on base every single night but just freeze up and can't hit anything hard once they start to threaten.

I can live with a hard grounder that's right at a guy. But all their double plays have been the same weak, easy crap they've hit all month.
