2023 Toronto Blue Jays Season Thread

WTF Belt?!? You're brought in to pinch hit not leave the bat on your shoulder.

[Inferno]

That was brutal.

[bluejays]

Belt swinging for the fences. C'mon man, you're not that good to play hero. Just get on base.

[Mass_nerder]

I haven't been able to watch as many games as I would like this season, but every time I'm able to catch a few innings, we give the game away or just flat out suck.
I just want to see some good offense.

[Hockey]

All other AL east teams have won. Can't go on any extended losing streak in this division.

[ben voyonsdonc]

How many seasons can you waste with a second rate bullpen? Cobbling together misfits year after year just isn’t good enough. Last trade deadline was a massive missed opportunity and they didn’t do nearly enough in the off season to fill in the gaps.

I would protest that game if I was the Jays. The guys on the panel are right, you can't have someone cheating for 3 perfect innings and then just say 'oh well, game on'.

Should be an automatic win for the Jays or the game should start over, which would be more difficult. There's no incentive to not cheat if the game just continues like nothing happened.

Im not sure how this stuff goes.

He should, but the win is already in the books.

If this happened in the World Series and the guy pitches 7 perfect innings before he's found out do they just continue the game like it's not a big deal? Honest question, it seems so dumb that there's zero instant punishment. If you get caught you should forfeit the game instantly.

[KelVarnsen]

Like MLB cares about getting it right

[bluejays]

I agree with what's been said, but what is the point of a protest? Is there ever any do over or turning over the win? I don't get it.

[Jason14h]

Why don’t they check the pitchers hands to begin the inning ?

[zukes]

I love how the Yankees, "broke no major rules" or whatever drivel MLB put out there. Not "the Yankees didn't do anything wrong".

Then the next night they go out and have a pitcher blatantly cheat. Sure he'll get his ten games (should be more as he should have been thrown out a few games ago), but they have guys coming back and German was going to lose his rotation spot anyway.

There seems to be a lot of cheating going on and MLB is looking the other way.

[Wastedyouth]

The Jays are so frustrating. So good, then so bad.

This is a rollercoaster. Haha.

[Roof-Daddy]

Yeah it'd be nice if they could stop the bleeding today instead of continuing with this win a bunch lose a bunch bull#### they've got going on right now.

The schedule is extremely frustrating as is being in this stupid friggin division. Baltimore and Tampa leading the way and both have extremely strong farm systems and Baltimore hasn't even started to spend yet.

Jays have built a very good team but it might never be good enough to be tops in the division.

Stilling a wild card spot though, and thank goodness for the more balanced schedule.

[GirlySports]

I would have bunted with Varsho. Maybe force another error.

[transplant99]

Cole doing Cole things.

[Beninho]

I f’n hate the Yankees

[Party Elephant]

Good ol' first pitch Springer

[KelVarnsen]

Jays doing Jays things
