The biggest problem with the Jays starters is that they all pitch similar, 90-92mph fastball, change up, cutter/slider. Nothing over powering, Anderson, Roark, Strippling, Shoemaker all throw the same stuff at the same speed.

So they start Merryweather, but then have him throw breaking balls instead of heat.

does Jansen not know the signs? Or do the pitchers?

starting to wonder if Jansen doesn't know what he's calling - this happens to much

Good inning from Anderson. Throw strikes and you can get guys out - who knew?

And Grichuk shouldn’t be batting 3rd anymore. His average and OBP is plummeting. Put him back in 6th and move Gurriel and Vlad up a spot

What is driving me crazy about the mistakes is that the coaching staff is tolerating it.

Montoyo is supposed to be a 'teaching' manager. But after the play, he doesn't go talk to Bichette, instead, Bichette is joking in the dugout with Hernandez (or whoever it was).

You can't just sit there and hope that the mistakes stop on their own. You have to demand a culture of excellence.

How many f'ing times do we have to see Vladdy swing at the first pitch and ground out? Pathetic at bats.

This team has been unwatchable since Fisher made those errors.

Lemahieu has 3 HR’s in the last 2 games that wouldn’t be HR’s anywhere else. That stadium is a joke.

Anderson deals for 8 outs, then gives up a double and 3 homers on 4 ####ing pitches!

Changed to the Bengals vs. Browns game.

How sad is that?
