2023 Toronto Blue Jays Season Thread

[Karl]

Oh dear. Bass hangs one.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Needed the pen to shut if down in the bottom half.............nope. 9-5 now, that will probably do it for tonight. Too bad after getting out of the gate so quickly up 4-0.

[Machiavelli]

Another 9 runs against. This is a problem

[bluejays]

So far these teams aren't even that great hitter wise. It does seem to be an early problem. Really not looking forward to when they face their division.

Berrios really is a dud.

He's toast, but not much else to do but trot him out for an auto loss every 5 games.

Lots of questionable coaching decisions but these three are particularly odd:
1) starting Belt against a leftie
2) choosing Cimber to come in against Trout when instead of Pop or Bass
3) sending Bichette to steal second with Chapman up while down two

Schneider needs to be better than this.

My guess is they keep Berríos in the starting rotation but have Mitch White ready to come in early…essentially a piggy back situation. I don’t know what to say about Berríos. His fastball is ####. He had luck with his slurve but starting a guy whose most effective pitch is a slurve isn’t a recipe for success.

He's toast at the MLB level, no reason to sugar coat and suggest otherwise, imo.

Mitch White is also terrible. Berrios let's other teams maximize the damage on all the hits he gives up. Have to give him a couple more shots, but quick hook if he's in the 4th with guys on base.

[KelVarnsen]

Sigh

[Jiri Hrdina]

Man that’s a tough break

[Machiavelli]

So damn unlucky

[flamingred89]

Well ####. Just bad luck all around.

[TBone290]

This camera angle is way better. Last night's was wack

[Machiavelli]

Kikuchi is pitching well, that first inning was so unfortunate

[Karl]

crud...

[jayswin]

5-0 now.

[Machiavelli]

Ohtani and Trout killing them today...sigh

[Karl]

not good.

[Machiavelli]

I'd say maybe two hits were off bad pitches
