Chapman sucks. Worse than Espinal. Merrifield has hit like a little league for the past two months. Kirk is a total liability once he gets on base.

That’s why. Because the team kind of sucks.

Yeah, I don’t know if he scores but he needed to get back to the bag early so that he could get his physical momentum shifting back towards the plate to give them the chance to send him.

The scouting seems to be catching up to Schneider a bit too. He’s not seeing any fastballs really and it’s showing lately.

The more I see that replay the more I get annoyed. Bo is a complete moron.

Also would have forced them to throw home allowing Vladdy to advance to 2nd.

Yes for sure, and things can happen on that throw home too. So he took all the pressure of the d and make life easy on them with a little league mistake.

Bichette is the team mvp this year but this is just more indicative of a team that doesn’t really seem dialled in. They really haven’t been a fun team to watch.

Verdugo wasn't getting set under it and his momentum was going towards the right field foul line. Bo absolutely should've scored on that play.

Which screams coaching.


Schneider, as likable as he is, does not appear to have the chops to lead a team like this group needs.

Underwhelming offense gonna underwhelm.

Leave it to the Jays to make Chris Sale look like the 2018 version of himself.

Up to Merrifield and Kirk here. Chapman is going to strike out.

Let's see a pinch hitter for Chapman. That's what a real manager would do.

If J Schneider wasn't a coward he would have pinch hit Biggio for Chapman with 1 out and a runner on third.
