He's an emotional guy, I wouldn't be surprised if it had an effect on him.

That inning could have been over twice, Garcia made a bad throw to 2nd to negate Gurriel's ability to turn the double play, then Pillar and Granderson get mixed up on a very catchable ball, 2 runs score, which I imagine will be changed to an error on Pillar.

Looks like that's exactly what happened.

Team forgot how to hit.
Team forgot how to pitch.
Team forgot how to base run.
Team forgot how to play defense.

Despicable.

Well when Robinson Chirinos is hitting multiple bombs in a game you're gonna have a tough time winning.

What is going on with the starting pitching?

The average ERA for the bullpen is well under 2.5. That's awesome!

The average ERA for the Starters is well over 5. That's barf!

Sanchez and Happ are pitching ok. Garcia I think has had a bit of bad luck and was spotted as the #5 guy. But Estrada and Stroman have been brutal.

It's still early so not time to panic yet but if the Jay's want a chance at the post season those 2 guys for sure are going to have to be a lot better.

Hopefully Happ can stop the bleeding today and start a win streak.

Sounds like Travis has been optioned. Get rid of Morales already FFS.

Called up RHP Carlos Ramirez. Travis optioned to AAA Buffalo.

And yes, Morales needs to go.

Travis playing everyday at AAA? What's the under/over on when he gets hurt?

This game feels like pretty much each of the other games this weekend. Starter lets players get on base every inning. Only saving grace is that Perez is garbage and they should score more on him.

So Blue Jays. Unless it's a HR they can't score. Bases Loaded none out, 0 runs. 2 RISP.

Thank you JA Happ.

Clearly the ace of this staff. Begs the question, should the Jays look to extend him? He's 35 years old, but I certainly would if he'd accept 2 years $30 million total. Maybe put a club option on the 2nd year?

Nice win today. Needed to end that losing skid. Hopefully we get a healthy Donaldson back soon.

Yeah. More JD means less Diaz.

By the way, have I mentioned they should DFA Morales?

Is it crazy to think they should be bring this guy up to the big leagues? I get they don't want to ruin by bringing him up too soon, but they seem to keep guys in the minor leagues so long in baseball.

Not sure if this has been posted but two Blue Jays (Vladimir Guerrero and Kevin Smith) made MLB Pipeline's team of the week.
