2022 Blue Jays Season Thread

Holy ####. 3 runs on 1 play

[ben voyonsdonc]

Oh Jano. Don’t give me any false hope.

[flamingred89]

If the Jays come back to win this one that little hat voodoo thing they were doing is going to become a thing. Which Im ok with if it keeps their heads in the game.

[Enoch Root]

Vladdy has been absolutely useless lately - either grounding out to short, or grounding out to 3rd

[ben voyonsdonc]

Top of the order doing the usual ####.

Vladdy’s launch angle was 9.4 last year and is 4.5 so far this year. That isn’t good.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Tie game

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[flamingred89]

Well this is... unexpected. Please don't break my heart Jays.

if only that information was available to the coaching staff so they could work with him on it

[Enoch Root]

I know they won't, but I would leave Cimber out there - he had good stuff tonight and a very low pitch count last inning

[ben voyonsdonc]

Not a save opportunity here Buck. Let’s get Romano the W though.

[ben voyonsdonc]

Guerrero begs the coaches not to challenge. Schneider was probably still tempted.

[ben voyonsdonc]

Well that was huge.

[bluejays]

I'm pretty surprised in hindsight most of the problems were probably not on Montoya's back. New coach, more or less same results. New approaches need to be taken at the plate. For years now there has been pushes to be patient at the plate. Last year most of the guys were. I don't know this year what happened but it seems a lot of guys are undisciplined. The goofing off was okay for a bit but time for them to be a little more serious when things aren't going good. Starts with burning that stupid jacket these days.

[Enoch Root]

The fact that Schneider hasn't improved anything yet is not proof that Montoyo wasn't a problem.

It took the Flames 4 coaching changes to get it right

[Hockey]

I do wonder why teams don't walk the first batter in extras more often. Set up the double play and even if the guy gets to 3rd he can't score on a sac fly

[Hockey]

Jays need to learn how to slide better

[Cuz]

Have to put a bunt down there

[Enoch Root]

Bichette needed to hit it to the right side to advance the runners. But nope, hit it to 3rd and create a double play

And now the jays are out of pitchers

[Inferno]

Montoyo wasn't the sole problem but he was part of the the problem. I'm not sold on Schneider yet either but they needed to move on from him.

[flamingred89]

Bo should've been bunting. That double play was a given the way he hits the ball on the ground. Or the Jays should've pinch ran for Kirk to try and stay out of the double play.
