And I’m not one of those old school respect the game and have no fun guys. But really there is no need to cuss out opponents on striking them out in some irrelevant mid season game.

I think offseason prep is a big issue. You mentioned him doing media stuff and the Jays org not being happy with how much time he was devoting to that, I hadn't heard that but it would make sense seeing his performance. The "antics" stuff I don't mind at all, the #### talking between dugouts is non stop. But if you're gonna #### talk guys you better back it up and this season he is definitely not.

Manoah needs to drop 20-30 pounds, taking big breaths between pitches, looks gassed and miserable on the mound in my opinion. Blue Jays fault for not predicting his conditioning would be terrible with the new pitch clock. Not rocket science

Another leadoff double stranded. This team just can't hit worth a damn.

[Beninho]

Another pitch Vlad should have clobbered. When hitting slumps happens for this team it’s like it happens to everyone at the same time. Perplexing.

No matter what spot in the line up the high leverage ABs are just finding Varsho. And he is not executing.

[flamingred89]

Will this team ever get a hit with RISP again??

[ben voyonsdonc]

Thank you god.

[flames_fan_down_under]

Needed that!

Manoah’s schtick is easier to swallow when he’s winning.

Schneider better be buying Kiermaier a steak dinner because his botched mound visit would have gone from merely embarrassing to disastrous if that wasn’t caught.

Take that Baker.

Danny bombs are great bombs.

[Karl]

Jano Solo.

What happened?

[Karl]

C'mon Swanson..put out the fire.

[ben voyonsdonc]

Schneider forgot that Walker had made a mound visit. The second mound visit requires a pitching change but Schneider intended to keep Manoah in.

[Karl]

bullet dodged.

Well, at least for now.

Schneider forgot Walker had already came out earlier that inning to talk to Manoah so he had to make a pitching change.
