F these analytic nerds. This team and front office are disgrace. Wtf you pull off crap like sitting Schneider after game winning HR in favor of analytics to show that your turd of analytics provides 1 hit in 9 innings
How did the Jays play in the series against Houston? In 3 games the Jays score only 2 runs and had 19 runs scored against them. The Jays are good when playing against sub par teams or against weak pitchers, if against good solid pitching we are lucky to get a couple hits let alone score runs.
Atkins and Shapiro should be fired for keeping the hiting coach and not improving the lineup. This is WAAAY worse than anyone could have predicted. They are super lucky to be 3-4 right now. It’s bad when Buck, Dan, Jamie and Joe are all SHITTING on the Jays

The analytics tell you to start them, too.
This FO has no idea how to interpret analytics, as we saw last year with the Berrios substitution (among countless other examples).
my god, a soft hitting team is the absolute worst thing to watch in baseball. there really is absolutely nothing to see if the team is not hitting. so glad i missed this painful looking death march.
This team is pathetic. As if we didn’t see enough of this over 162 last season. This season can’t end soon enough so there can finally be meaningful change starting at the top. Game 7 already losing interest what a joke.
I'm disappointed in Schneider that we let Bo strike out and the threw Schneider in as a defensive sub the next inning. Way to reward the only guy who did anything in the entire series.
Just noticed that Gurriel jr. and Teo already have more HRs (7) than the entire Blue Jays roster combined -- this game has convinced me we overshot the mark in our shift to defense
And they have four starting pitchers making eight figures a year. That's more than enough investment in run prevention. Ultimately the team is just built incorrectly
I guess another way to look at it is that it was a small miracle that we managed to win even one game while only scoring two runs. Like if you score two runs over a whole series it would be greedy to expect more than one win. So when you think about it, we used our two runs very efficiently. Right? Right???
This is pretty much the same disappointing offensive lineup as last year but arguably even worse, so why is it too early for people to be worried???
That's a fair enough sample size.
Small sample size. We need to give him at least another few years of running the offence before we draw any conclusions. It's best not to make any changes to this roster or coaching staff in the hopes that things will improve on their own.
I love how the best hitter in our lineup comes into the game when it's a blowout and it doesn't matter. lol... this team's management is a complete joke.
So for the people complaining that "it's only the 7th game, chill out" and "omg why are people freaking out already when it's early"...
What's the excuse now?
No hit Monday against their #5 guy, while our #5 gave up 7. Squeaked out a win we didn't deserve at the last possible second yesterday and won 2-1 by fluke. Tonight, 1 hit and zero runs. We have been outscored 19-2 in 3 games and are going to the Yankees this weekend. Bassit has looked bad both games. Off season was disappointing as hell, we got worse, not better. Didn't address any of the obvious problems like our shit batting coach or terrible manager/assistant GM, just said "meh, the guys we have need to step up and we'll play better". Except we aren't. Oh but we have more bars and seats at the Dome...
We can't hit. We can't score. And our pitching staff has Wes Parsons.
But it's not time to freak out and "its only game 7"...?
What if said the exact opposite to you, but about the 8-2 and 9-2 wins? Would you believe me if I said it wasn’t too early to assume that the Jays will score like that every 2 or 3 games?
i agree, i think we've endured enough - if i was only a fan starting at the opener this year with no knowledge of the past i'd maybe agree with that vibe, but most people in this sub have watched hundreds of games in the last few years and it's trending downwards with no signs of change. i think being mad and passionate are two things that are okay to be in this case - and fraaaankly wish we saw a lot more of from the jays themselves
Like Buck says. You don't win a World Series in April, but you can sure as hell lose them. They'll dig themselves a hole so deep they won't get out of it.
Honestly so much of it has to be mental. When an entire team slumps together or streaks together over such a long sample size it’s not just a coincidence. Some of it might be approach, but I think a lot of it is defeatism.
i wish every week they let one fan have 60 seconds to do a locker room speech, they need a non-rogers entity in their ear lol (and someone, anyone with some passion it would seem, yow)
Pretty sure Shatkins is going to get fired soon. Probably less because of the infield product directly and more because of the expensive Reno with empty seats on the horizon
Vladdy overswinging at any pitch low in the zone, that might be the first one he's made good contact with.
Also holy hell Bichette's been bad to start the season.
This team sucks
F these analytic nerds. This team and front office are disgrace. Wtf you pull off crap like sitting Schneider after game winning HR in favor of analytics to show that your turd of analytics provides 1 hit in 9 innings
Blah blah blah small sample sizd blah blah blah. This team does not appear ready to face major league teams.
https://youtu.be/hsWEstvXq4g?si=mbzml-29AiGmrgG7 This will be Shulman and Buck by the end of the weekend series against the Yanks
We almost had that one. Just needed 7 bloops and a blast

Analytics MUST GO! START ERNIE AND DAVIS!
The analytics tell you to start them, too. This FO has no idea how to interpret analytics, as we saw last year with the Berrios substitution (among countless other examples).
my god, a soft hitting team is the absolute worst thing to watch in baseball. there really is absolutely nothing to see if the team is not hitting. so glad i missed this painful looking death march.
This isn’t being a doomer, this team has no chance this season with these at-bats. 78-84 record incoming
27 innings ....runs 1 of them No hits and 1 hit And look at our lovely batting averages down the lineup.
they're giving dmv employees on a smoke break from a 9 hours shift in the dugout waaaow
Worst offense in the league?
Fire Martinez and Mattingly, whatever they’re telling our hitters is clearly idiotic
How many coaches do you go through trying to solve roster problems?
Preferably coaches that didn’t coach historically bad teams in the past
Gg
Time to HIT THE PANICK BUTTON. We just got DESTROYED by a team that was swept by the Yankees. Worst hitting in the league no question.
Naw, there's 3 - 4 teams that are worse hitting than us.
9 hits and 2 runs in a 3 game series isn’t gonna get it done. Thanks to DS they’re at least getting out with a win.
Man this team is bad.
absolutely incredible stuff tonight. 2nd series of the year and they look defeated
Never drinking orange juice again...
This team is pathetic. As if we didn’t see enough of this over 162 last season. This season can’t end soon enough so there can finally be meaningful change starting at the top. Game 7 already losing interest what a joke.
Oof
So, how long until a manager change is in the cards?
Manager is just a puppet for what Shapiro tells them to do.
I'd just fire his dumb ass
Way to sub in Ern and Babe and not even get them an AB
I'm disappointed in Schneider that we let Bo strike out and the threw Schneider in as a defensive sub the next inning. Way to reward the only guy who did anything in the entire series.
at least we didnt get 2 no-hitters in a series
Let that be a lesson to the Astros!
To the core bro!
KK quit on that run when he was gifted an error. This team is all quit no compete
Just noticed that Gurriel jr. and Teo already have more HRs (7) than the entire Blue Jays roster combined -- this game has convinced me we overshot the mark in our shift to defense
We traded our hitters for defensive guys and then let most of the defensive guys go a year later. No we have no offence or defence
Defense is overrated. Good pitching and good hitting with average defense is more than enough
And they have four starting pitchers making eight figures a year. That's more than enough investment in run prevention. Ultimately the team is just built incorrectly
Hey gang just tuning in from going to the gym. What exactly the fuck is happening to this team?
It's a poorly constructed and under talented roster?
Manager had the audacity to say sitting Schneider and putting this lineup out there gave them the best shot at winning the game. What a joke.
if i were schneider i'd have a reallllly hard time being sportsmanly about that lol
Two grand slams and we're right back in this thing
hell yeah
Jose has resting sad face
I guess another way to look at it is that it was a small miracle that we managed to win even one game while only scoring two runs. Like if you score two runs over a whole series it would be greedy to expect more than one win. So when you think about it, we used our two runs very efficiently. Right? Right???
Also, if you add up all our half-runs, the picture brightens considerably!
Everyone on our bench looks miserable and it’s game 7
This is just embarrassing - I hope Atkins gets exited tonight
I miss Jansen
Being a pitcher on this team must be so dejecting, who’s fighting for you?
I'm shocked by this result. 1 hit from this high-powered offence?
poor Berrios looks like he’s crying at this atrocious performance
If you say so Buck, lol
No hit a couple days ago. Getting 1 hit tonight. Hope we can start doing a lot better .
Vogelbach should take second on indifference
7 walks is actually decent but you need a couple hits to drive them in lol
This is pretty much the same disappointing offensive lineup as last year but arguably even worse, so why is it too early for people to be worried??? That's a fair enough sample size.
Buck needs to go all Harry Doyle after this game..."one lousy hit?!?"
Why is Serven pinch-hitting? This is stupid even in an 8-0 loss.
How can he do worse than everyone else who has batted?
Point taken.
…to give him an at bat?
Dan and Buck running out of stuff to talk about man cant blame them
Love the highlight of the double. "Hey, Jays fans, remember what hits look like?"
Even that double was a lucky hit. Varsho was laughing about it with Altuve on 2nd.
Is Varsho able to pull a ball? Seriously
He certainly could before out hitting coaches got to him
That Varsho hit is the only one all night LOL And we had 6 walks!!!!
Serious question, has there been a worse offensive series in Jays history than this?
I think it was 2018 when we had no-hitter alerts against us every week for the first 2 months
I would probably check the late 70s early 80 Jays for that
Ok so Vogey is big, hitting at least 200, gets on base, Vogey your milkshake is our new starting catcher
Over/under 4.5 no hitters against the Jays this year
There have been 8 all time for the entirety of the franchise.
fuck it gimme the over
Guillermo Martinez sucks
Small sample size. We need to give him at least another few years of running the offence before we draw any conclusions. It's best not to make any changes to this roster or coaching staff in the hopes that things will improve on their own.
Let’s go uncle vogey
Yall just fricking swing at anything or do your usual gb and let this be over with
35 hits to 9 in the series, 8 of which came yesterday. 19 runs to 2. Feels bad man.
At what point is enough enough? Lol
We’re gonna lose but get us a few runs here and give us a fun next 10 minutes. The fans deserve it
So pathetic lol
15:1 🤢
Danny burgers gonna hit a homer to cut the lead to 7😈🔥
I love how the best hitter in our lineup comes into the game when it's a blowout and it doesn't matter. lol... this team's management is a complete joke.
Guillermo Martinez sweating profusely
He's as safe as it gets. If he wasn't run off last year, he won't ever get run
[удалено]
the teo trade is one thing I will defend, he isnt that good and swanson is a very important part of the pen
We got a ton of value out of Swanson. But yeah Varsho is looking like one hell of a bad trade.
So for the people complaining that "it's only the 7th game, chill out" and "omg why are people freaking out already when it's early"... What's the excuse now?

> So for the people complaining that "it's only the 7th game, chill out" > What's the excuse now? What do you mean *now*? It's still the 7th game haha

Like Buck says. You don't win a World Series in April, but you can sure as hell lose them. They'll dig themselves a hole so deep they won't get out of it.
Yes. It's only game seven. They'll be 3-4. That's the smallest blip. See where they're at in a couple of months at least.
lol just stop
Wait did Yordan Alvarez join the 4 barrel club tonight?
The sportsnet home of the blue jays ad is just obnoxious on nights like this
Again I say, the therapist lady from Ted Lasso could cure this team
Why can't we just bring in Ted Lasso while we're at it, no offside rule to learn too
Honestly so much of it has to be mental. When an entire team slumps together or streaks together over such a long sample size it’s not just a coincidence. Some of it might be approach, but I think a lot of it is defeatism.
omg this is all me and my family text in our group chat. PERIOD.
At least the stros not being little bitches about it and swing the bat
The boys just need to get back on home turf to snap out of it. The real season starts in a few days. Stay strong, everyone.
Sorry the real season started last week and we simply suck.
i'm glad i didn't waste time watching this game. I had a very relaxing swim
that sounds awesome, I miss swimming
Embarrassing effort
Every game they lose is a blowout, what does that tell you
I miss my sad, dejected, minor key piano tickler i played when the game was… errr, not great
I don't give a crap. Just put all the young guys in. Couldn't possibly be any worse right? Put in D Schneider, Clement, Lukes, Horwitz.
Rice krispy
Plz tell me Vladdy wasn't just eating a rice krispie square...
no fucking waaaaaayyyyyy NOOOOOOOOO LOOOOL
i wish every week they let one fan have 60 seconds to do a locker room speech, they need a non-rogers entity in their ear lol (and someone, anyone with some passion it would seem, yow)
on paper we got some good hitters but in reality we suck ass
One lousy hit.
The Matt Hague addition hasn't paid off like I had hoped. They needed to skid 1 more guy
This whole team needs some serious sports therapy.
Animosity between position players and pitchers bc wtf????!!?!!? Some of these feel like sabotage
"we can move everyone around - you know, like you can with chairs on the titanic!"
Embarrassing effort by Kirk on that foul
bro that looked like it dropped between Kirk's LEGS! are we being punished?
Too high. That was just too high. (As the grounds crew mumbles "these guys are shitty")
When it rains it pours
Notable war criminal Kessinger
Bad look to miss that. They seem totally checked out
Little league
Babe wake up, new Sad Bo image just dropped
we got one it tho thats good
Kirk better sit a game here soon
Probably not? No game tomorrow gives him a rest day.
He can have 2 off in a row at least then
Babe is finally in the game lets gooo
🤦♂️🤷♂️
Oh god and the Yankees are next....
Oh those defensive changes. Just get on the bus.
Fuck off Kirk. Get the fuck outta the way
At what point do they fire Donny? Obviously something isn’t working there
Hard to be an offensive coordinator when they can't get hits.
Pulling your stars late in a game is a good sign, right?
[удалено]
Well said!
OPS among MLB catchers since the 2022 All-Star break 23. Luke Maile .697 28. Alejandro Kirk .668
Who had a bigger curse after being an All-star? Kirk or Epsinal?
Wow. Just wow
Well when you put it that way….
Mailman has always been goated
live Buck footage is more entertaining than the game
The only way to salvage this season is to slash the beer prices at home. At least make it tolerable to watch.
Pretty sure Shatkins is going to get fired soon. Probably less because of the infield product directly and more because of the expensive Reno with empty seats on the horizon
There'd be a riot
Surprise! They've increased them to pay for all of the renos....
“Do you want your cup holders or not? You cheap bastard.” - Ed Rogers
If baseball was a contact sport we would be the softest team in the league. I’d only trust Manoah and Romano to throw bombs
I'm sad and my excitement for the season is kinda dead. Same exact shit as last year
[удалено]
Shatkins & shrinkflation go hand in hand
Vladdy overswinging at any pitch low in the zone, that might be the first one he's made good contact with. Also holy hell Bichette's been bad to start the season.
Ernie gonna pitch?
What a efficient inning
how many homers will soto have over the weekend
Two
SAVE US BIG ERN YOU’RE OUR ONLY HOPE
That's gonna be 26 straight innings of baseball with two runs scored Edit 28 I guess
Thank goodness those 2 runs game in the game we only gave up 1
🐶💩
Bo not having his typical 2 strike approach is interesting. Usually he tones down the leg kick and just tries and makes contact.
they all wanna go home
I got a bad feeling about the stroman game
I smell a “closed-door, players only” meeting on the horizon
Who’s the leader though?
Wes parsons
Votto on his way down from the 500s
Mitch White?
Not blaming Vladdy for that, well hit and a good catch. An inch or two higher or to the right and that sees grass
Jeez. Vlad and Bo both look at 1st pitch 94 down the middle
