Right. But if you are performing equal to your budget spot that doesn't imply management is doing a terrible job and needs to be replaced.

I'm not saying they're the second coming of Billy Beane, but they're doing a reasonable job. Firing them is probably an overreaction.

Looks a lot different if either of those get caught in the outfield.

Damn. Not sure of I should be happy at Springer for the effort or annoyed he didn't make the play.

Interesting to me that they didn't leave in Hicks. Faced 3 batters and only threw 11 pitches taking out the top of their order. Seems like he could have thrown a second inning.

Seems like that every game. One game I remember Hicks threw 7 pitches in a smooth inning then got pulled the next inning.

I hate that, even on commercial breaks, Vladdy and Springer annoy me with their damn Smuckers commercial. I can’t avoid their stupid faces.

Okay so it took 6 innings to get 1 run so if my math is correct the blue jays are on pace to lose this game 2-1.5

He’s had several not so great outings since coming off of the DL. His ERA+ is just above average…Schneider has overused him (thanks to our inept bats) and he just seems to have lost the magic that he had.

Some good early returns on the OOT but the Jays can't take care of their own #### against the worst team in baseball. Figure it out and win this game you weenies.

Jesus, that's the kind of injury I'd get playing ball now.

Don't blame the KC bench there.
Springer looked like he went around.

Jays definitely caught a break but it's nice to see them finally do something with it.
