He could have made up for it by throwing that guy out at the plate.

All 4 runs unearned... Great game regardless though.

Finding ways to lose. Tough to watch Reyes miss that, simple play.

Time to platoon/rotate Reyes, Goins, Travis... have never really been a fan of Reyes but his play lately is really frustrating me. Goins' bat is weak, but he is at least a team player. Travis is a rookie, but I am generally only impressed by his compete level.

There's a reason the Jays win when Kawasaki is in the lineup, and it's not because he is a star player.

The sooner Reyes is hurt again, the better for the record.

The Jays pay $22M/yr for Reyes to be our SS and he has trouble fielding routine ground balls.

$22 MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR

Jays need to start Goins more at SS. You could Reyes DH or get traded for a pitcher or something.

AA once traded Wells, I am sure he can trade Reyes.

i checked out Fangraphs and it is actually showing Reyes with a positive WAR on defense and a negative WAR on offense for 2015.

Am I reading that correctly?

Seriously, guys... Ryan Goins can't hit his weight (and he's not a big guy). I get the fustration with Reyes, I really do, but you don't play Ryan Goins over him. Or at least you don't start him... you can have him as a late inning defensive sub in close games and maybe give him an odd start so that Reyes can have a rest/DH day to keep him healthy, but his bat just isn't mlb player worthy and no matter how nicely you field your bat still needs to be mlb worthy. Incidentially Reyes only has a couple more errors then Goins on the year (although that's mostly irrelevant since errors are the dumbest stat in baseball followed closely by the "save" and "pitcher win" goins is the better defender but he doesn't nearly make up the batting difference).

The Jays are a worse team without Reyes then they are with him.

You're blaming the wrong guy. The guy you should be blaming is the manager. There was no reason for Reyes to even be playing at that point in the game... the only way he'd get another plate appearance was if the game went to extra innings so he should have been putting in defensive subs at that point.

Yeah, Reyes screwed up... but it was Gibby's screw-up that facilitated it.
