2021 Blue Jays Season Thread

That was an absolute nuke from Bo.

Extremely small sample size but loved the lineup tonight. I

Also, that Springer dive was absolutely epic and kind of funny that it was against Pillar's team.

Catch of the season.

Pitchers should not be hitting.

[flamingred89]

3 leadoff doubles. And no runs to show for it. Not exactly how you win close games.

[ben voyonsdonc]

Three lead off doubles. None made it to third. Brutal.

[Kasi]

Yep Jays doing Jays things. Think the coaches should let them know they can score runs off something other than HRs? Never seen a team with a combination of this much hitting talent and so poor hitting approach.

[ben voyonsdonc]

This is an incredibly frustrating game. My god.

[Kasi]

I don’t have this one anymore but why is Kirk being picked off of first? Was he seriously thinking of running? Or some weird hit and run idea with the pitcher hitting? Makes no sense to have the slowest guy on the team picked off with the pitcher up.

I guess he wanted to increase his chances of getting to 2nd on the bunt but just didn’t keep track of the Mets players.

I would've lost it if Stripling walked the pitcher to load the bases. Thankfully he battled back. Some bad baseball being played out there.

Springer is a great CFer and looks awesome in the lead off spot. Really liking the new batting order.

FFS. Borucki sucks.

Yes he does.

Man is that getting tiring, wow. You just knew it was going to happen too. Borucki was missing his spots, walked Conforto the lead off guy who also happens to suck to get to Alonso who is their only hitter worth anything in the line up, gets to a full count but he is still missing his spots, probably says to himself, you definitely don't want back to back walks. And gives up a middle in slider to a guy who feasts on that stuff. Tie game!

[flamingred89]

So annoying when they battle back and get some runs. And then the bullpen gives it right back. How many times have we seen that this season?

[flamingred89]

Uhhhh. Ump missed two clear strike calls there...

[flames_fan_down_under]

Barnes steps up to walk his batter.

[flames_fan_down_under]

Mayza up, nice to burn three relievers for one inning of baseball. Jays bullpen!

[flamingred89]

Just another incredible performance from the pen. We are so lucky to be able to watch them pitch day in day out.

[Jason14h]

Just pathetic

[flames_fan_down_under]

Unbelievable.

I am more than certain that third time through the order penalty is negated when your bullpen is truly awful. Just keep your starter in for 100+ pitches no matter what.
