####. 4 runs. That's likely it. The Jays are the doormat of the AL East. They're getting feasted on.

[KelVarnsen]

The Jays losing vs a AL East team. Name a more iconic duo.

[Jason14h]

This team is broken . No swagger .

[flamingred89]

Ha. A bunch of wall scrapers for the Orioles but they all count. What a blowout. Jays are trash and not doing anything with their .150 winning percentage against their division. What a joke.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

I turned away to do a few things when it was 2-1.

wth just happened?

[KelVarnsen]

Jays happened

[Hockey]

The worst part is I knew Henderson would be popular in DFS and I took a chance and left him out of my lineup....

How did the Orioles go from .321 winning percentage two years ago to .631 this year? How can we do that???

Jays did do it - we developed one of the best minors in the league , developed two superstars in Bo and Vlad , and traded some assets and started spending in FA

The issue is now they can’t get over the hump for a third straight year , and haven’t continued to develop players over the past 4 years

Orioles still need to get a full pitching staff to really have a chance , but have done a great job with their batting and bullpen

An Adley Rutschman would be one of the steps...they were a bad team for a lot of yesrs and look to have made good on a couple of the high picks.

[Jason14h]

To add - this was Atkins MO in Cleveland as well . He was great and rebuilding and building up a minors , but was never able to get them over the hump as well

The biggest difference is he can’t develop pitchers here like he did in Cleveland , but has been able to spend to remedy the situation with expensive starting pitching FAs

Saw an article that said that Bassit was the one trying the hardest to send positive vibes to Manoah. Clearly got too close to him and the stink infected him now too.

[Roof-Daddy]

well, this sucks lol

We are the AL easts bitches

[Hockey]

Ump wanted to go home. That was ball 3

[Kasi]

At least Varsho is continuing to hit well. Above .230 and .700 OPS now. I think he can be a lot better but I’ll be happy with .250/.750 or so.

[Mathgod]

I think the Astros & Os are shoo ins to make the playoffs... Jays competing with Yankees & Angels for the final spot. Playoffs are not a sure thing by any stretch.

[Jason14h]

Sure glad Jansen is back ! 0-5 with 4ks and 7 LOB! Solid

Not when they're so streaky. It's pretty frustrating thinking they have a rally going with their big guns coming up and they either strike out or ground into a double play.
