Until the Jays figure this crap out they’re not going to be winning many close games.
I believe they are even worse for 7th inning and later when it's close. I think it's a combination of some bad luck as well as a younger team still learning how to play late in close ballgames

Oh yeah it’s even worse there I think 2nd or 3rd last in the majors. Hard to be mad at the offence coaching given their overall numbers but it is really night and day how this team performs in those situations. And it’s not really just a matter of young players. Vlad, Bo and Teo have been our best in those spots. It’s just everyone else on the team is awful and that includes Biggio, Semien, Grichuk, Gurriel, etc.

Biggio has gone on the IL with back issues, and Dickerson has been activated.

Hopefully Dickerson provides a lot more than Biggio has been.

I think Springer likes hitting in Skydome.

Helps our defence since that means Espinal will be at third more.

I don’t know who this Bobby Bradley is but I think he lacks a little cred to have his shirt that unbuttoned.

Ryu’s curve ball is an old-fashioned thing of beauty.

The last 5 games Jays starters have gone, 31.1IP 24H 6ER. If they can keep it up it’s going to be a fun last 2 months

Ryu really seems to have found the zone again which is amazing timing. He is crucial.

Vladdy with a unicorn of a bad night at the plate tonight. 0-5 and pounded a bunch of balls into the ground. Nice to see the boys pick up the MVP on an off night.

Blue Jay hitters only struck out twice this game (Springer & Gurriel) so that's another thing to be happy about tonight.

I'm especially happy to see Teo settle down at the plate and get some better at bats (and bombs). He's been swinging at everything lately.

Dont look now but the Red Sox have lost 5 in a row in rather convincing fashion.
