2021 Blue Jays Season Thread

[HighLifeMan]

Teoscar is striking out every 2nd at bat. Infuriating some of the pitches he is chasing at the moment.

Encouraging what we've seen from Vlad. Like, really encouraging.

Tellez/Hernandez are troubling. Great performance in the shortened season but if they revert back to what they were before the lineup thins out quite a bit.

Starting pitching is PAINFUL without Pearson and Ray.

I really like Biggio the guy is gamer, can play all over the field, he has great plate discipline. I just don't think he is a good enough of a hitter to be hitting as high up in the lineup as he is.

IMO Biggio needs to realize that he isn't a big home run hitter and start spraying the ball around the field more. Teams are pitching him away with velocity, knowing that he is trying to pull that pitch instead of driving it the other way.

Semien
Bichette
Guerrero Jr.
Hernandez
Gurriel Jr.
Biggio
Grichuk
Panik/Tellez
Jansen/Kirk

I think a lot of the guys are kinda in their own heads thinking they are better than they are because of some GFL success this spring.

Hopefully the vets can get them to right the ship.

But then again, it's game 7 and I am not worried, we will see where we are in 100 days.

This can be said for a lot of the Jays right now....they need to focus on solid contact and base hits. Get their eyes back and play small ball.

[Jiggy_12]

That is a whole lot of bad news. When it rains it pours.

Teoscar could probably use the break to refocus, but the bullpen injuries suck.

Seeing more and more signs of our horrible starting rotation.

[flamingred89]

Bo just doesn't have the glove to be a big league SS.

[flames_fan_down_under]

Sorry how is he still safe?

[868904]

Why did Bo go to second and not first?

Evil plan to injure Fowler?

Weird.

[nixon45]

It's ok at least it's only Ohtani at the plate now

I agree, he should be playing at 2B. You have a very good if not elite defensive SS in Semien, Bo isn't a SS long term.

Bo should have thrown to 1st once he bobbled the ball.

Are they still developing Austin Martin as a SS?

He beat the throw to 2nd, once he came off the bag at 2nd it became a tag play not a force play.

Way to go Bo

[KootenayFlamesFan]

3 run double.

Why are Jays pitchers throwing it right down the middle to guys like Trout and Ohtani???

[flames_fan_down_under]

Well Bo absolutely botched that.

Still lots of dinky little hits not going the Jays way. Two little infield singles, a walk, an error, then the big guns do their work.

[flamingred89]

#### now I’m annoyed. Just putrid D by Bo and costs the Jays the game*.


*still early but the bats are terribad right now.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Another one down the middle to Trout. Lucky he didn't get all of that.
