Why did anyone think what plagued this team all season would change in the playoffs ?

Bad baserunning , lots of singles and walks but no extra base hits , unclutch with RISP , and questionable managerial decisions

We’ve seen it all season . If it walks like a duck , and quacks like a duck …..

Thoroughly unlikeable team. Just awful to cheer for #### like this.

If I were a Twins fans I'd be ecstatic. They are executing at every level.

You were able to run on the pitch, why even take a huge leadoff there?

I admit I assumed if the Jays starter was dealing in a do or die game that he'd be left alone and not yanked for........reasons. I did not see that coming.

He has generational talent but has no heart or brain. At best a supplemental piece on a good team.

This is the Toronto Blue Jays. This is who they’ve been all season.

I feel this game has been the perfect encapsulation of the team this season. On the cusp of being great, but make costly mistakes too often.

Honestly i'd bench Vlad for that decision.

Just asleep and completly unaware of the game situation to get picked off there. 2 outs and a runner in front of you and it's inexcusable to get picked off

The only thing worse than the Blue Jays right now is Sonny Gray’s hair.

Yeah I’m not even a little surprised at these results. The bats all season long were anti clutch and awful. Gaffs were constant all season that made you scratch your head.

Whats interesting is that the Twins only have two fly balls to the outfield. The furthest one being that Julien hit.

Glad we got the five outs but lost the season.

And now a Smuckers commercial with Vlad’s stupid laugh.

Davis Schneider can go in to the game at 2B and Biggio can slide to 1B

I assumed after last years playoffs disaster, there was no possible way this could end worse than that year did. That was rock bottom.
Turns out there was a People’s Elbow after the rock bottom

He routinely makes dumb mistakes on the bases.
Just an incredibly frustrating player this season.
