2nd a 3rd with 1 out would've looked a lot better to me. The Jays just don't want to bunt.

Thats why bunting works Gibby! Because you don't bunt into double plays. Especially with Donaldson coming up to bat. Jesus.

That is pathetic if you ask me. 2 on with none out, don't advance the runners on a bunt, hit into a double play, then it's two outs with Tulo on third and a pathetic at bat from Donaldson.

Good lord this offence is a joke. Two on with no outs and get jack squat.

Grounder by JD, inning over. Holy moly that's frustrating. I know some people think the Jays should just swing away all night long but sometimes small ball can win you games.

The team itself doesn't ever seem to want to play small ball. Does it all come from the manager? I don't get it.

They'll have this game on there and you'll have alcohol to further fuel the discontent.

Because it's the third inning. Small ball should only be used if you need a certain amount of runs to tie or win late in a ball game.

Nice, easily our best hitter over the last month is limping. More bad stuff!

The Orioles are a perfect example of a slugging team that will shorten their swings and play small ball to generate offence.

If the Jay's had BS managing, they would be 5 games up easily
