Vladdy special with the bases loaded

[Enoch Root]

he has really struggled with guys on base

[flamingred89]

Shaw being pulled? I wonder if there might be a trade to be announced. Might help explain the vogelbach acquistion.

[nixon45]

Man I wish he would start running out every hit too. You can't hit as poorly as he has this year and jog to first on every ground ball.

Be a professional.

[flamingred89]

Jansen passed ball leads to a run. That catcher position needs to be addressed. Both guys hitting below .150 with suspect D.

[GirlySports]

Hey! Ground ball found a hole!

[flamingred89]

Vladdy with a ground ball finding a hole! That'll even up that rocket he hit into a glove.

[Roof-Daddy]

That grounder finding a hole makes up for the laser line drive out in the 1st.

Also, can we launch Boegarts and Moreland into the sun? Like, do the Red Sox ALWAYS have to have a couple guys that pound on us no matter how ####ty the team is??

[flames_fan_down_under]

Kiermaier, Boegarts, Moreland, and Odour are four players that I would be happy to never see play the Jays again.

[Enoch Root]

Jays score 4 in the 1st, and Anderson starts the 2nd with 2 balls then a hit.

Jays score 2 in the 4th, and Anderson starts the 5th with 2 balls then inches from a double, then a hit

The pitch selection has been a problem all year.

(great to see Vladdy knock in a couple runs though)

[Roof-Daddy]

I've been on board for being patient with Drury the last couple seasons, but the guy has really out done himself this year rocking that .370 OPS. It's really too bad because he's actually not a terrible defender and adds that depth on the hot corner, but good lord I hope this is his last few days of taking regular at bats.

[flames_fan_down_under]

Is Wilmer Font good? I still haven't figured it out yet.

[flamingred89]

Sigh. Nothing is easy for this team.

[Enoch Root]

Well this is shaping up like a typical Jays game...

Early hook from Montoyo on Anderson to bring in Font (for no reason whatsoever), then no called 3rd strike on Vasquez, and then he bounces one off the wall to go 2nd and 3rd no out.

Then Font hits a guy to load the bases, then another hit and Montoyo yanks Font after he faces 4 batters and gets only one out. Why the #### would you pull Anderson?

[Enoch Root]

Now he has allowed Boston back into the game, and he is wearing out his bullpen yet again.

Forget a pitcher or another bat, they need a manager

[Enoch Root]

Wow. This is all on Montoyo

[Roof-Daddy]

Yeah, Montoyo is an idiot.

Umpires strike zones are a ####ing joke too. If only there was some sort of technology out there that could provide some consistency with balls and strikes being called.....

[flamingred89]

Yep. Nothing like giving up a 6 spot because god forbid your starter walks a guy in the 6th inning. You have a 3 run lead. Even if that lead off guy comes in to score, having your starter eat more innings is more important for a team in the middle of games in 27 straight days. But again, Montoyo out manages himself.

[flames_fan_down_under]

Jansen with a great throw.

[flamingred89]

#### me. The Jays could still come back and win this one. But I'm annoyed. If Shatkins wants to employ Montoyo then why did they throw money at Ryu? They should just field a team of relievers because that's what Montoyo wants. He wants to try and "outsmart" the opponents. He's not allowing pitchers to pitch or to try and get out of jams. He's not allowing pitchers to play to their strengths(why was pearson throwing so much offspeed?). He's trying to emulate the Rays, which is BS because the Rays employ voodoo magic. He might actually be the dumbest manager i've ever seen. The only reason the Jays are winning games is because they have enough raw talent to do so. Imagine what this team could be capable of if they didn't have a mouth-breathing moron at the helm.
