It feels like it was 1-1 like 30 seconds ago.

Poor Ray.......pitches lights out, team can't hit to win.

Needs to be mentioned that Schoop was 3-3 against Cimber. So may as well bring him in to go 4-4.

Montoyo is such a ####ing dunce.

And they go out with a whimper.

I want those 3 hours of my life back. What a waste of a great start to the season........just falling apart.

It's astounding how many winnable games the Jays have pissed away this year.

It amazing how bad Montoya is. Like, statistically unbelievably bad

By pure luck he should have the odd move work in his favor

I would rather we have a fan in game vote on moves over him.

Hell, I would rather we pick out of a hat

I'm done with Montoyo for sure now.

I don't even think I can watch them anymore with that clown calling the shots.

Why even have good hitters in your line up if you're just going to pinch bunt for them with the game on the line?

Vladdy rips a much needed HR and you're upset that the bottom of the line up is cold.
And that is why I was pissed off.

Anyone with a half a brain knew that one run wouldn't be enough for this team to win the game.

By announcing the bunt, they play right into Detroit's hands. But the decision was much worse than that:

1) Kirk is the #6 hitter, and if you take the bat out of his hands, you're putting it in the hands of the bottom of the order - and Mr DP is on deck.

2) MOST IMPORTANTLY: Kirk's mistake cost them the tieing run. Now he has the opportunity to make up for it and you take the bat out of his hands? ####ing brutal managing.

Montoyo has to go.

Then he gives Richards the hook and brings in a guy that has been struggling lately and immediately it's a 4-run game.

Grichuk is useless, but Montoyo just keeps on setting them up for failure.

Kirk is a very good hitter, with very good plate discipline. You let him go up and hit the baseball.

Even if Valera gets the bunt down properly, it's 2nd and 3rd with one out and Grichuk batting.

Grichuk.

Montoyo has zero situational awareness.
Exactly. Kirk should have been hitting.

Especially after he had just caused the tieing run.

Montoyo is in so far over his head it isn't funny. It is sad. But it is not at all funny.

And Richards had struck out 2 and the 3rd guy nubbed it off the end of the bat.

I can't get past it.

Kirk is batting.

On deck is Grichuk
In the hole is a rookie with 4 MLB plate appearances
After that it's Espinal, with zero pop in his bat

On the bench you have Mcguire and Valera

Kirk should hit! Over ALL those options Kirk should HIT!

It's your best chance and it's not even close. How does this guy keep his job making mistakes like this?

The UFA's are not going to sign here if they continue to let this idiot manage the team into the ground.

At the very least he's cursed, if you're into that sort of thing.

I'm almost to the point where I hope they lose 30 or more of the remaining games just so that there is a chance Montoyo gets canned.

I'd rather they 30 or more of them, but with that dummy calling the shots there is no way that's happening.

The stupid thing is they could have easily walked away from him after this season but they decided to pick up his option. They could still let him go but it would be wasting money for nothing. That alone makes me think we'll be stuck with him for atleast the start of next season.

You guys have been duped for a long time if you think Montoyo can take this team anywhere
