2025 Toronto Blue Jays Season Thread

That Santander 0-4 with 4 men left on base sticks out like a sore thumb. Dude is beyond useless.

Another unlucky hard-hit ball by Vladdy

[flamingred89]

Gausman pulled at 96 pitches in favour of Hoffman to close. Hold on to your butts...

[Machiavelli]

Well, thank God for the pitching clinic today

[flamingred89]

21 left on base by the Jays lineup today. Yikes.

[KelVarnsen]

Good thing I didn't post "do a shot for every baserunner left on board" earlier today

[Inferno]

I didn't watch but I just read that was the first time ever in his MLB career that Jacob deGrom has failed to strike anyone out.

Got to watch that one. Gausman was amazing, while the offence was the opposite of clutch. 1-12 with runners in scoring position and that one hit didn’t even score a run.

I also have trouble watching this team with Alejandro Kirk in the lineup. On a WAR basis he's a wash with Danny Jansen and also younger so it looks like the Jays made the right decision on which catcher to keep, but it's almost like baseball doesn't properly have a stat for how much his inability to run rally kills offense, even when he gets on base. Perfect example yesterday was when a deep fly to Right Field cannot score him from third. Like literally any other roster player would have scored, but no insurance run to make it 3-1 because Captain Kirk is plugging up the bases.

Then they can just forfeit vs the Rays and have a chance vs the Mariners.

They swept the Mariners though?

[KelVarnsen]

One inning and one base runner left in scoring position so far

[Machiavelli]

This offense is hilarious

[KelVarnsen]

Make that two innings and two runners left in scoring position.

Watches these two teams hit is brutally boring.

[flamingred89]

Santander watches 95 right down the middle for strike three. Can they just DFA him already and give him the Bobby Banilla treatment with his contract. Just cut your losses at this point.

[KelVarnsen]

Lame

[KelVarnsen]

Even Buck and Dan know the roster is poorly constructed

[Machiavelli]

When watching paint dry, at least something is being accomplished

[flamingred89]

I don't think either of these teams wants to win.
