2022 Blue Jays Season Thread

[Enoch Root]

well, they had 3 hits plus a 100 mph line drive to 3rd

I don't disagree with you though, he has pitched well so far

[flamingred89]

Cooper Criswell has 1 career start before tonight. He gave up 3 runs and 6 hits on 1IP. Of course that was with the Angels. But you throw on a Rays jersey and face the Jays and you're pretty much a Hall of Famer.

6 up and 6 down - sounds like a typical game against the Rays

Coaching matters A TON with pitchers. The Jays are not bad, as an organization - some successes, some failures - but the Rays are the gold standard. They just keep turning dirt into gold, over and over.

Jays look disinterested

[Enoch Root]

Bo delivers!

[flamingred89]

Phew. Looks like the legend of Cy Criswell is over with.

Jays need to manufacture more out of this inning than just 1.

[Party Elephant]

Looks like the unknown factor for this Rays pitcher wore off once the top of the order came around again.

[Party Elephant]

Jays are always a threat to GIDP

[flamingred89]

Dammit. Of course the Rays are positioned absolutely perfectly.

[flamingred89]

Wait. Did I hear that correctly? Manny Margot is 16-16 when it comes to cashing in a runner on 3rd with less than 2 outs??? That's incredible. I don't even think the Jays have a guy that would be 1-16.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Man did that ever come close to Bo's face. Freaky. I'd be ticked off too.

Really wish Kirk didn't swing at the first pitch after that. Take a few, the pitcher might have been rattled.

situational hitting - for some reason, the Jays seem completely indifferent to it, organizationally

[Party Elephant]

That's a good outing from Berrios. Every inning pitched by the starters is crucial right now.

I'm just so sick of these ####ing Rays. It's been 15 years of these exact type of games that they win 90% of the time. Outside of the Yanks utter dominance of the Twins, which is almost hilarious at this point, I don't think there is a more one sided matchup in all of sports than the Rays over the Jays. Just beyond stupid at this point.

Vladdy needs to be smarter than that.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

These umps are really trying to make stop watching baseball.

How do you call something 3-4 inches outside a strike?

[ben voyonsdonc]

That was a horrific framing job by the catcher too. It’s time for the robo umps.
