Rays getting timely hits knocking in men on base. Meanwhile Grichuk is sitting at 5 left on base.

They just can't get any traction this year. Hopefully they keep making trades that will benefit the team past this season because I just can't see them making any noise this year.

Pretty frustrating how they seem to always score either 10 runs or 1.

Game was lost after the bases loaded in the 1st and Grichuk did #### all. Can't wait until they trade him to another bottom feeder who wants to sell tickets because he can hit 30 bombs a year. Useless player.

Jays will need to go 47-30 to have a sniff of the playoffs this year. Could be doable if they figure out the pen.

Yeah, about 47-30 is what it would take. This team is putting itself in a position where they will need a sustained hot streak, and they haven't been able to do that yet this season.

It's frustrating because the offense is really strong, but the defense isn't there yet, and the pitching isn't there yet.

Big picture wise though, this has still been a strong season so far. They won 60 something games in 2019 and drafted 5th overall, they've come a long ways in a short time.

It's also frustrating for a guy who follows the prospects, because so many of the top ones keep getting injured.

Still a bright future though, and this season isn't over yet either. Maybe a strong second half is still in the cards.

Oh Randal Grichuk hitting into a double play? Never heard of it. The whole right side of the infield was wide open. He decides to try and pull a ball down and away. Such a moron.

This series is going as expected.

Can Montoyo please staple Grichuk to the bench. Just negative AB after negative AB. And feel free to do something one of these days Springer.

Boy it would have been nice to have a catcher that can actually hit come up to the plate in the 9th with two on and down 3 runs.

Instead they keep him down in AAA and keep sending the two plugs up to the plate again and again.

If you can't find a trade for one of them then DFA Spanky or send Jansen down. Their values aren't going to go up and the teams chances to win are suffering as a result.

Plus he's our only solid left hand bat.

Espinal should definitely not be getting in the line up before Biggio
Espinal should be getting close to 50/50 playing time with Biggio, not just playing for Biggio against lefties. Biggio is not so much better than Espinal that he should get like 80% of the playing time.

Only 3.5 games back of the 2nd wild card.

It'd be nice if they could get hot. Been waiting all year for them to put it all together.

Damn. A one out double in the 7th ruins the no-no.

Much needed win, 3-1 win counts the same as a 10-1.

Springer sure is struggling though. Just a black hole in the that batting order right now.
