I didn't think they would win both with White scheduled to start game 2 so if they can win the second game it would be a wash.

As much as I don't think White is a good pitcher. He does battle. He saved the bullpen pretty good.

The good thing is that the game we lost was against a really solid pitcher…even if Manoah was pitching we could have lost that one. Now Manoah is up against a lesser pitcher. So, in a way, this might have worked in our favour.

I think Jays need to think about moving Vladdy down in the batting order. They did it when Bichette was struggling and now look at him. Maybe it could get Vladdy going as well. Would sure be nice to have them both going at the same time.

I kind of like having Vladdy ahead of a hot Bichette because it means the pitcher can’t just pitch around Vlad. Hopefully if Bichette continues to rake, it will mean more hittable pitches for Vlad. What would be an option is to move both of them down in the order - ie 3rd for Vlad and clean up for Bo…it just gives more opportunity for runners to be on when they come up and puts more pressure on the pitcher.

Three times today, Vladdy reached for, and pulled, an outside pitch, with the inevitable result being a grounder to 3rd or short. Where the #### are the hitting coaches?

I agree that Vladdy should stay in front of Bo - that's where he is likely to see the best pitches. But he needs some coaching right now - he literally did EXACTLY what the Rays wanted him to do today, with every single at bat.

I’m getting very tired of the Jays making it super easy for opposing pitchers in the first inning.

Hey look - Vladdy just reached for, and tried to pull, a pitch that was low and outside.

The entirely shocking result? a grounder to short

Are you Siri-ous? Damn it. That should have been extra bases.

Would be nice if Springer, Vlad, Kirk or Teoscar would give Bo some support.
