I love when you get some reference to how big Manoah is. Like him standing in the box. He is a beast of a man.

2nd and 3rd, one out, and we get to watch the pitcher go up and have an abortion at the plate. Wave half heartedly at a couple of pitches, then watch strike 3 go right down the middle.

Very entertaining baseball right? What a joke. The NL can go #### itself.

I like Dickerson, just get the run back and advance the runner when you go down 0-2

Oh dear. Jays are going to lose this game aren't they?

And #### Alcides Escobar. He's the only reason the Royals beat the Jays in 2015.

Yep. They are going to lose this game. Such a bad call in the Soto at bat leads to a huge inning.

I mean, why wouldn't you lose a game to a team that has all but given up and you're fighting for a playoff spot?

And not only that, but get embarrassed to boot...

Man this team sure did an amazing job of ruining their chances of making the WC/Playoffs on this road trip. It was unlikely already but now they need to just pack it in. It's over.

Ugly.

The Nationals are 5-19 in their last 24. And Haven't scored more than 6 in a game in that span. The Jays sure love losing the games they should win.

If the Red Sox lose the Jays will still somehow pick up half a game on them thanks to the double header. Then you need the A's to lose to not lose any ground. The Yanks are out of reach as they're peaking and they actually care about winning.

I just cant believe how disastrous a road trip against 3 non-playoff teams can get. Just terrible baseball by the Jays.

They need to deal Thornton to prevent Montoyo from using him. I cannot stress this enough, Trent Thornton ranks at or near the bottom of every significant statistic for pitchers. Truly anyone in the Jays bullpen or almost all bullpens is better than him. All he has is good spin rates, which means nothing if you can't locate.

Look at those percentile rankings:

This is my first time watching on YouTube. It looks good.

I'm assuming earlier games were not so good?

NFL on Amazon Prime is wayyyyyyyy better than any broadcast game I've ever seen. It didn't just move the needle, it became the needle.

Shocked that YouTube wasn't all over this.

Having the easiest schedule down the stretch isn't going to help if you keep losing to garbage teams.

Really sad to see the roll this team was on fall apart. Looks like they're packing it in. Just pathetic.
