Highly doubtful Montoyo is on the hot seat

Most of the Jays hitters should be on the hot seat. Not advocating big changes, but the lack of hitting is predominantly on them.

They are the ones who have to get their #### together. They are the professional hitters and players.

I don't like down faces that hockey players do when they're losing, as I truly think it's a show. By the same token, in baseball I have no problem with the sillyness on the bench as it does keep people loose, and sometimes you need that to not let the pressure get to you. But there has to be a medium at times. When you're losing sometimes they're too loose and I do wonder if they put in the work behind the scenes to prepare. I don't have any evidence of any wrongdoing but when a large chunk of the team is in the rough it's attributed to prep, and that's on the players and management. Just a theory, but they seem loose all the time.

They already jumped the gun and picked up his option for next season before this season even started again so I'd be shocked if he got let go this season as long as they're still competing for a spot.

With how good Yankees and Rays are looking - have a feeling Jays will be thankful for the additional playoff spots this year. Likely gonna need em

2023 and the new schedule cannot come soon enough. #### the AL East

I think the Jay's need a good left handed hitting DH/OF. Someone who can hit in the top 5 and get Tapia back on the bench.

Ugh

The offense has been such big, dull dud that I'm struggling to get excited for games anymore. Another 4 or 5 hits, 2 or 3 runs and sub .200 BA with RISP? Yaaaawwwwnnn lol

And....the ####ing Yankees? Again? 6 weeks into the season and it's already the third series against them. Idiotic scheduling.

Kikuchi giving up no hits through 3? I'll take it.

I don't blame players from across the league being upset this season. We've seen a ton of terrible strike calls.

Yep. Vladdy got a horrble strike 1 called on what would've and should've become a 3-0 count and Chapman got screwed on two clearly low strike calls to strike him out.

The Jays offense in innings 1&2 the last 6 or so games has been great. Innings 3-9 on the other hand...
