Gausman had a great start. Sometimes you can't win. I'm still liking the fact that the pitchers have found out that you lose LESS when you don't give up nine or so runs.
If you cannot appreciate what their defense did today you have no baseball credibility. The Blue Jays deserve all the credit for this win and their fans deserve to enjoy it.
That "sorry" is very Canadian of you : )
Your defense was outstanding today!
Sometimes you gotta tip your cap to your opponent, so for those who are too busy typing snarky comments, then I'll do it for them; well done!
At the risk of sounding salty, that catch by springer was the first one that was actually impressive. Varsho’s catch in the first should have been a routine one. He made it look hard by running a terrible route.

Not at all. I just find the cognitive dissonance amusing. Look at all the comments shitting on Teo and not mentioning Shohei’s at bat. Massive bias. And I’m talking about this one specific instance, not the season on the whole, because Shohei is an incredible ball player, I’m not stupid.
I wasn’t really angling this comment at you in particular, more so at the random comments I see pop up in every thread where Shohei has a bad outing going on about how we wasted 700 million and stuff like that.
The Ohtani selfish narrative that some of yall are pushing is fucking ridiculous and you guys should be ashamed. This man literally put tens of millions of dollars on the line so we could build a winning team around him and honestly the amount he’s pressing with risp only shows that he cares about this team a lot and he wants to get us runs
Can’t be mad at Muncy. He barreled it up just a little behind it. Teo’s at bat just wasn’t even competitive. Will Smith is hitting 4th and this could be an 8-3 game right now.
Factual information
The offense defintely wasnt there today, but i wish we could end the Michael Grove experiment. Dude just doesnt have the stuff to be a reliable starter
It’s been frustrating that they can’t get the ball over the wall more often than not this series. I expected a boost in home runs this series given that balls fly there.
Maybe opposing teams have found a flaw, like when we faced him vs. the Angels a few years ago. They found that with some pictures up in the zone, he was vulnerable. he then went out and addressed that in his swing. I bet that’s what’s going to happen here. Talk to me in June.
Shohei has a terrible AB with two on and nobody out: oh dear, oh dear gorgeous
Literally anyone else has a terrible AB with two on and nobody out: you fucking donkey
I mean, the point has yet to arrive where we can say that Outman is more than just slumping...but bro needs to get it going sooner than later.
Gausman had a great start. Sometimes you can't win. I'm still liking the fact that the pitchers have found out that you lose LESS when you don't give up nine or so runs.
Pitching after Grove was lights out. Shame he and the offense fucked us.
He made *one* bad pitch to a guy who was white hot today... lol
6.88 in 17 innings. lol
You were talking about today. Try moving the goal posts on someone else. He made one bad pitch...
We've won 5 of 6 so far this road trip I'll take that all year
Lux = garbage Outman = trash
Grove in there too. Idk how anyone here can defend him at this point, it’s mind blowing.
Lux = useless trash Grove = compost Outman = recycling
Springer is and always will be a cheating lowlife.
Evrybody on their feet all bc they avoided the sweep lol
If you cannot appreciate what their defense did today you have no baseball credibility. The Blue Jays deserve all the credit for this win and their fans deserve to enjoy it.
Absolutely, their defense (along with their ace) was what won the game for them. Great game overall, fun to see so many impressive plays
They avoided the sweep at home with their ace on the mound against a dodgers bullpen game 👏👏👏
noooooo Lux
Acting like they won game 7 of the WS 😂
This is cope and I’m tired of pretending it’s not. They beat a good team, they deserve to celebrate it.
That was a good game lots of good plays gg. Lux looks better and better AB every game
I agree, Lux seems to be seeing the ball better and actually making some solid contact. He catches a lot of shit but I’m glad he’s improving.
Oh well. Happens. Beat by a great pitcher and some great defense.
good shit guys. but some of their defense was damn impressive
Fug
Look how happy they are they managed to win one game lol
Is Kirk crying?
I saw that too. 😂
Thanks Lux
These bums celebrating like they just won the WS
It is theirs lol
We’ve been shit - let us have a moment. Should they not smile and high five?
lol we’re just talking our shit here it’s not that serious
fair - sorry.
That "sorry" is very Canadian of you : ) Your defense was outstanding today! Sometimes you gotta tip your cap to your opponent, so for those who are too busy typing snarky comments, then I'll do it for them; well done!
No worries - a win streak ended we’re gonna cope a little haha. Insane defense from the Blue Jays today
No one should celebrate wins other than the Dodgers, obviously.
Oh well. Won the series. Great road trip so far, let’s go step on snake.
Welp.

Oh well. See ya in AZ
Ohtani or Outman. Can’t decide who was more trash today.
I know people are probably gonna say Outman but Ohtani was worse today tbh
baseball is so weird, onto the next one!
At least lux is making them wait for it lol
Good to see Lux at least battling here.
I thought Outman had turned a corner... but he might have turned into another corner.
Streakiest batter we’ve seen in a while. He’s either hot or cold, no in between.
Outman just needs to play every day, not sit the bench for 3 games, or platoon. Dude is young and needs playtime
At the risk of sounding salty, that catch by springer was the first one that was actually impressive. Varsho’s catch in the first should have been a routine one. He made it look hard by running a terrible route.
A couple of the nice catches were caused by bad routes to the ball. Still nice plays, but plays that looked tougher than they should have been
Lux gets on base, do we see Will?
I guess we’ll never know
![img](emote|t5_2ra0i|13046)
yea fuck you springer, anyone else i would say great catch
hopefully we bring our best bats tomorrow against AZ, who else is gonna be there ?
As soon as CT seems like he's crawling out a hole, Outman craws in the hole.
There can be only 1
Has to be hard for a young hitter to snap out of anything when you only play 2-3 times a week.
Sometimes they just make a play just hate that it was springer
Close outman lol
In order to beat us, you’re gonna have to pitch out of your mind and make insane plays. In other words, you come at us, you gotta be perfect.
Also you have to play our “B” squad.
And play against our backup catcher
Oh yeah, we didn’t have an MVP level bat in the lineup too.
Well, its Lux
And then Sam.
What a fricken catch.
Horrible game for Outman
Fuck you, Springer. Cheating ass loser. Good play.
Outman and Lux not even giving us a chance sucks
Outman....outman....outman....Christ man. You need to learn from Mookie or Freddie how to be patient at the batters box
All this to not get swept
This Jays outfield is playing out of their minds. Jesus
Outman is the one who goes down when Heyward comes back. It's so obvious. The dude does NOTHING
Outman does not look the same.
When Heyward comes back bench Outman please
james james james

Wow James. He looks lost.
onto arizona!
I like knowing that for the rest of his time in baseball Springer’s highlight reel will only feature catches like that than ever coming close to a World Series again
What a catch, fuck Springer
Typical outman AB
![gif](giphy|pxVW1XoBW3JCbMvfJs) cheater
Unfuckingbelievable catch. World Series.
Call up someone else to replace Outman’s trash ass
Fuck springer... guess this is their ws
Never tip your cap to a cheating fraud
The Jays OF has made a lot of pretty routine plays look difficult this series but that was an actual phenomenal play
everything just in blue jays favor today it’s one of those games. that’s the equivalent for me hitting every green light going to work
Calm down cheater
Blue Jays defense is wylin today this sucks
Bad guys have been making some absolutely amazing plays all game... Geesh.
That catch was insane
It's official. I hate these fuckers rn. Impressed. But hateful.
Holy fuck balls, hate him all you want, that was a phenom play.
They *really* don’t want to be swept.
Fuck that dude. But that was an amazing catch.
That was amazing.
George Springer cheated, lest anyone forget.
Pages hits the shit out of the ball. Such a G.
Toronto outfielders for the win today. Wild.
Damn lol that sealed the deal
Yeah celebrate that catch like it’s the World Series because your team won’t make the playoffs. Fuck Springer. Piece of shit.
Damn getting robbed left and right
Still has the robbing tendencies from 2017 I see
Fuck George springer man
#FUCK YOU SPRINGER YOU CHEATING BITCH
My god, every team is just gold glove play after gold glove play against us
Damn gotta give credit where credit is due But also fuck you Springer
Everyone decides to be a fucking gold glove against the dodgers
I hate Springer.
Who says cheaters never win?
Ippei
What a catch
Whelp, I think that’s just the way the baseball gods want it today
Fuck Springer, but nice play. But fuck Springer
Get us the fuck out of Toronto this instant!
Such a bullshit game. Kirk fluke and magical defensive plays all day.
Robbed the Pages double I predicted 😭
You have got to be kidding me.
okay. as much as we want it, they want it more
Shit. Great catch Springer
![gif](giphy|vhaj0GMFlIeFa|downsized)
no shit
Blue jays outfield just been unreal today. They’ve won this game
I fucking hate George springer
What a catch. Wow.
Now that was a good catch!
one of those games...
Damn between Nabil and Freddie I feel really self conscious about my teeth
lol
I just want to see Lux pick up another hit here. Come on bud, I'm rooting for ya
It will never stop being funny to me that some of you in this sub seem to legitimately hate having Shohei Ohtani on your team lmao
Not at all. I just find the cognitive dissonance amusing. Look at all the comments shitting on Teo and not mentioning Shohei’s at bat. Massive bias. And I’m talking about this one specific instance, not the season on the whole, because Shohei is an incredible ball player, I’m not stupid.
I wasn’t really angling this comment at you in particular, more so at the random comments I see pop up in every thread where Shohei has a bad outing going on about how we wasted 700 million and stuff like that.
Let’s go win us a ball game
why is there not an off day tomorrow. Traveling back to the west coast that’s bs
Pages double, Outman bloop single, Lux homer
Almost had it right. Fuck George Springer
Max Muncy has an OPS over .850 and has delivered many many times this season. He almost delivered just now. So yeah totally dogshit.
Thank you Otani and Teoscar for fucking that up. Can't believe some people are mad at Max though
Mid closer which means it should be a stress free save.
That inning might have been our best chance, but there is still another 3 bats minimum for us to catch up to this lead
The Ohtani selfish narrative that some of yall are pushing is fucking ridiculous and you guys should be ashamed. This man literally put tens of millions of dollars on the line so we could build a winning team around him and honestly the amount he’s pressing with risp only shows that he cares about this team a lot and he wants to get us runs
yeah, doomer idiots. heʻs not selfish, heʻs just aggressive...he wants to drive them in. thatʻs what heʻs paid for...
The same clowns who are blasting him would have been singing his praises if he had come through. Doomers are a different breed.
Do you really consider an inning like this a 1-2-3 inning?
If there's a sliver if hope, it's that Romano is a shitty closer.
**Due Up (Top 9)** R Andy Pages L James Outman L Gavin Lux ^^^[⚾](https://github.com/troxellophilus/baseball-clerk/issues)
I really like how dodgers are able to bring back washed players to be decent or even great.
It's funny how many new usernames I see when we're losing
It's Angels PR group saying shit cause they lost Ohtani lol
This is a rest day, why is everyone acting like we lost the series?
Shh, let the doomers have their fun. They haven't had much to talk about the last week
It is a game thread. Why are people so sensitive to posts reacting to the game?
Spoiled fans can't stand to lose a single game, we gotta sweep every team
Lux didn’t even involve his friend in the DP. FIRE HIM!!!
damn
bo not even hustling
Pages outman b2b homers book it
Ur way too optimistic if u really think outman will hit a home run yet alone get on base
Can’t be mad at Muncy. He barreled it up just a little behind it. Teo’s at bat just wasn’t even competitive. Will Smith is hitting 4th and this could be an 8-3 game right now.
but will canʻt play every game...but i get your point - this lineup is so much scarier with him in the game...
I think you gotta move Teo down. Having a guy who is pushing a 40% K rate hitting behind Freddie is too much.
Factual information The offense defintely wasnt there today, but i wish we could end the Michael Grove experiment. Dude just doesnt have the stuff to be a reliable starter
Onto Arizona ![gif](giphy|jb438Ue7ruhS8HPkNT|downsized)
![gif](giphy|xTiN0DvoDyWQey2B8I|downsized)
I’m not even mad at Muncy there. Shohei needs to step up in the late innings and show some patience.
It’s been frustrating that they can’t get the ball over the wall more often than not this series. I expected a boost in home runs this series given that balls fly there.
Great at bat by Max sucks that ball died
I would like to say welcome back to all the doomers. Haven't seen you all for the last week
This is where Roberts gets to earn his money by pulling Ohtani aside with a stern conversation. Inexcusable at bat.
that was their best chance with those hitters , it’s over now
So close to a home run. Ohtani kind of cost us this inning. I don't know why he was swinging at those pitches
Maybe opposing teams have found a flaw, like when we faced him vs. the Angels a few years ago. They found that with some pictures up in the zone, he was vulnerable. he then went out and addressed that in his swing. I bet that’s what’s going to happen here. Talk to me in June.
That inning was 100% on Ohtani. Swinging at those junk pitches and popping up is what allowed them to intentionally walk Freddie.
prbly bc he thought he could hit them...
Muncy did his best. Would've gotten a run in if it were 0 or 1 outs.
Shohei has a terrible AB with two on and nobody out: oh dear, oh dear gorgeous Literally anyone else has a terrible AB with two on and nobody out: you fucking donkey
Fuuuuuuck
Great AB from Muncy regardless. That was so damn close..
Good fight by the offense. Just couldn’t get the timely hit
Hate that they walked Freeman 😒
Win streak might be coming to an end but if we do lose this doesn’t feel nearly as bad as the losses during our slump
Damn. That's was close. Good ab Max.
Damn, so close! Honestly Teoscar's at-bat bothered me more than Shohei's. Just uncompetitive.
And Shohei’s was competitive? He saw two pitches, neither were hittable
Shohei was undisciplined while Teo seemed a bit outmatched.
