We went from ONLY getting offense from the long ball to not being able to hit a long ball.
So so so frustrating

Looks like Scherzer pulled something.

Don't think that's going to make any good difference for us though. Bats are too anaemic right now when we need them the most.

[Kidder]

The mound voodoo specialist once again the most effective Blue Jay on the night.

[Mathgod]

AL East opponents to close out the season.

Jays might be cooked.

[Karl]

Vladdy misses a hanging offspeed pitch. SMH.

[Beninho]

Vlad has only shown up occasionally vs bottom feeders this season. Vs good teams with good pitching... nada

[Karl]

Pathetic garbage.

[KelVarnsen]

Vladdy is the worst player on the team. By far.

[flamingred89]

Like wtf is he even swinging at?!

[ben voyonsdonc]

That was quite an at bat from Vlad. Perfect encapsulation of his season. Fouled off a total meatball and then whiffed badly on two pitches well outside the zone.

[Karl]

This team is inept at going on any sort of meaningfully good run of wins.

I doubt we make it.

[Beninho]

The amount of money he has lost this season is staggering

[Karl]

bullcrap game.

Yimi is no good.

[flamingred89]

Texas has been the worst team in baseball over the last month. Of course they're going to come in and embarrass the Jays and save their season.

[ben voyonsdonc]

Schneider releases Yimi on the team to punish them.

[bluejays]

Some of this has to be on the coaching staff. I don't know how it's not. They have terrible approaches at the plate when not too long ago Vlad specifically was praised how he doesn't chase anything outside the strike zone. The further and further the season goes it's harder to adjust, I think most would agree to that, but how does almost every single person fall off? It's on the players but it's also gotta be the staff who prepare them. It's just so hard to fathom such things happening.

[Karl]

See Vlad. That's how you hit a damn meatball.

[flamingred89]

Oh look texas' star playing is doing something. The Jays star player is striking out on pitches a foot outside the zone.

[Beninho]

Feels like the Jays have lost every big series vs teams they are fighting for a playoff spot with. Terrible look.

[Karl]

The newbies by and large are usually at least making productive outs even when not getting hits.

Something Vladdy and too many of the veterans are not doing.
