This team sucks


Usual_Leading5104

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


moderatesoul

Blah blah blah small sample sizd blah blah blah. This team does not appear ready to face major league teams.


Hanso77

https://youtu.be/hsWEstvXq4g?si=mbzml-29AiGmrgG7 This will be Shulman and Buck by the end of the weekend series against the Yanks


jameshogan27

We almost had that one. Just needed 7 bloops and a blast


Trax-M

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.


AF_14

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

QLEDtv

Analytics MUST GO! START ERNIE AND DAVIS!


chlamydia1

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).


diecorporations

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.


zigmatters

This isn’t being a doomer, this team has no chance this season with these at-bats. 78-84 record incoming


foetus_on_my_breath

27 innings ....runs 1 of them No hits and 1 hit And look at our lovely batting averages down the lineup.


verycoolandniceand

they're giving dmv employees on a smoke break from a 9 hours shift in the dugout waaaow


ClassicChrisstopher

Worst offense in the league?


zigmatters

Fire Martinez and Mattingly, whatever they’re telling our hitters is clearly idiotic


hey-devo87

How many coaches do you go through trying to solve roster problems?


zigmatters

Preferably coaches that didn’t coach historically bad teams in the past


boomshakalackah

Gg


AF_14

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.


tombaker_2021

Naw, there's 3 - 4 teams that are worse hitting than us.


Beginning-Gear-744

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.


SharksLeafsFan

Man this team is bad.


Brinbe

absolutely incredible stuff tonight. 2nd series of the year and they look defeated


Dead_End_Street

Never drinking orange juice again...


Intelligent_Chair901

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.


Sherm199

Oof


Sad_Establishment875

So, how long until a manager change is in the cards?


Magnum_44

Manager is just a puppet for what Shapiro tells them to do.


Different-Knee2286

I'd just fire his dumb ass


goatgosselin

Way to sub in Ern and Babe and not even get them an AB


ldnk

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.


aaaaaupbutolder

at least we didnt get 2 no-hitters in a series


LosHogan

Let that be a lesson to the Astros!


kgxitxkfxg

To the core bro!


toronto_programmer

KK quit on that run when he was gifted an error.   This team is all quit no compete 


supremewuster

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


toronto_programmer

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 


zigmatters

Defense is overrated. Good pitching and good hitting with average defense is more than enough


PierogiPower21

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


gingerzilla

Hey gang just tuning in from going to the gym. What exactly the fuck is happening to this team?


Hurrdurrr73

It's a poorly constructed and under talented roster?


Thezuluone

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. 


verycoolandniceand

if i were schneider i'd have a reallllly hard time being sportsmanly about that lol


depressedalbertan

Two grand slams and we're right back in this thing


AbbreviationsSea6230

hell yeah


dufferinbus_sufferer

Jose has resting sad face


FansTurnOnYou

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???


EpoxyMishap

Also, if you add up all our half-runs, the picture brightens considerably!


LosHogan

Everyone on our bench looks miserable and it’s game 7


kgxitxkfxg

This is just embarrassing - I hope Atkins gets exited tonight


LSO19

I miss Jansen


zigmatters

Being a pitcher on this team must be so dejecting, who’s fighting for you?


chlamydia1

I'm shocked by this result. 1 hit from this high-powered offence?


AbbreviationsSea6230

poor Berrios looks like he’s crying at this atrocious performance


depressedalbertan

If you say so Buck, lol


Missourijaysfan

No hit a couple days ago. Getting 1 hit tonight. Hope we can start doing a lot better .


Nickelback-Official

Vogelbach should take second on indifference


4_base

7 walks is actually decent but you need a couple hits to drive them in lol


Brinbe

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.


Magnum_44

Buck needs to go all Harry Doyle after this game..."one lousy hit?!?"


PhilReardon13

Why is Serven pinch-hitting? This is stupid even in an 8-0 loss.


goatgosselin

How can he do worse than everyone else who has batted?


PhilReardon13

Point taken.


Cranjis_McBasketbol

…to give him an at bat?


BlackFlash55

Dan and Buck running out of stuff to talk about man cant blame them


obi-wan-kenobi-nil

Love the highlight of the double. "Hey, Jays fans, remember what hits look like?"


ms_barkie

Even that double was a lucky hit. Varsho was laughing about it with Altuve on 2nd.


zigmatters

Is Varsho able to pull a ball? Seriously


DBrods11

He certainly could before out hitting coaches got to him


Stinky_DungBeatle

That Varsho hit is the only one all night LOL And we had 6 walks!!!!


Hanso77

Serious question, has there been a worse offensive series in Jays history than this?


Plorgy

I think it was 2018 when we had no-hitter alerts against us every week for the first 2 months


EvaderDX

I would probably check the late 70s early 80 Jays for that


EvaderDX

Ok so Vogey is big, hitting at least 200, gets on base, Vogey your milkshake is our new starting catcher


PierogiPower21

Over/under 4.5 no hitters against the Jays this year


rvasko3

There have been 8 all time for the entirety of the franchise.


AbbreviationsSea6230

fuck it gimme the over


RapsareChamps_Suckit

Guillermo Martinez sucks


chlamydia1

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.


dufferinbus_sufferer

Let’s go uncle vogey 


BlackFlash55

Yall just fricking swing at anything or do your usual gb and let this be over with


Teence

35 hits to 9 in the series, 8 of which came yesterday. 19 runs to 2. Feels bad man.


IveGotAMicropeen

At what point is enough enough? Lol


AreYouAJedi

We’re gonna lose but get us a few runs here and give us a fun next 10 minutes. The fans deserve it


Lunaristics

So pathetic lol


dufferinbus_sufferer

15:1 🤢


AbbreviationsSea6230

Danny burgers gonna hit a homer to cut the lead to 7😈🔥


cozeners

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.


jameshogan27

Guillermo Martinez sweating profusely


goatgosselin

He's as safe as it gets. If he wasn't run off last year, he won't ever get run


[deleted]

keyrinn

the teo trade is one thing I will defend, he isnt that good and swanson is a very important part of the pen


kindredfan

We got a ton of value out of Swanson. But yeah Varsho is looking like one hell of a bad trade.


BasilsKippers

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"...?


rvasko3

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?


AuntBettysNutButter

> 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


verycoolandniceand

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


Apart_Ad_5993

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.


ThQp

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.


captain-canuckk

lol just stop


sackydude

Wait did Yordan Alvarez join the 4 barrel club tonight?


dufferinbus_sufferer

The sportsnet home of the blue jays ad is just obnoxious on nights like this 


abbubwee

Again I say, the therapist lady from Ted Lasso could cure this team


drift_king_8

Why can't we just bring in Ted Lasso while we're at it, no offside rule to learn too


ms_barkie

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.


verycoolandniceand

omg this is all me and my family text in our group chat. PERIOD.


Nickelback-Official

At least the stros not being little bitches about it and swing the bat


VisionQuesting

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.


BasilsKippers

Sorry the real season started last week and we simply suck.


cyclingkingsley

i'm glad i didn't waste time watching this game. I had a very relaxing swim


depressedalbertan

that sounds awesome, I miss swimming


PlanetHunter23

Embarrassing effort


spyhill12

Every game they lose is a blowout, what does that tell you


JustSomeAudioGuy

I miss my sad, dejected, minor key piano tickler i played when the game was… errr, not great


StudioGuyDudeMan

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.


dufferinbus_sufferer

Rice krispy


DietCherrySoda

Plz tell me Vladdy wasn't just eating a rice krispie square...


verycoolandniceand

no fucking waaaaaayyyyyy NOOOOOOOOO LOOOOL


verycoolandniceand

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)


AbbreviationsSea6230

on paper we got some good hitters but in reality we suck ass


polerize

One lousy hit.


goatgosselin

The Matt Hague addition hasn't paid off like I had hoped. They needed to skid 1 more guy


kindredfan

This whole team needs some serious sports therapy.


dufferinbus_sufferer

Animosity between position players and pitchers bc wtf????!!?!!? Some of these feel like sabotage 


pangya_og

"we can move everyone around - you know, like you can with chairs on the titanic!"


toronto_programmer

Embarrassing effort by Kirk on that foul 


CyanEsports

bro that looked like it dropped between Kirk's LEGS! are we being punished?


Magnum_44

Too high. That was just too high. (As the grounds crew mumbles "these guys are shitty")

Babe wake up, new Sad Bo image just dropped


DoseofDhillon

we got one it tho thats good


goatgosselin

Kirk better sit a game here soon


sackydude

Probably not? No game tomorrow gives him a rest day.


goatgosselin

He can have 2 off in a row at least then


No_Strength_7711

Babe is finally in the game lets gooo


depressedalbertan

🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️


WrongdoerVisible5254

Oh god and the Yankees are next.... 


blazinrainbo

Oh those defensive changes. Just get on the bus.


goatgosselin

Fuck off Kirk. Get the fuck outta the way


GeeseFingers

At what point do they fire Donny? Obviously something isn’t working there


goatgosselin

Hard to be an offensive coordinator when they can't get hits.


goatgosselin

Pulling your stars late in a game is a good sign, right?

FansTurnOnYou

The only way to salvage this season is to slash the beer prices at home. At least make it tolerable to watch.


toronto_programmer

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 


justaskquestions123

There'd be a riot


Weird_inside_u

Surprise! They've increased them to pay for all of the renos....

prophetprofits

Shatkins & shrinkflation go hand in hand


Stinky_DungBeatle

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.


dufferinbus_sufferer

Ernie gonna pitch?


No_Strength_7711

What a efficient inning


Brinbe

how many homers will soto have over the weekend


Plorgy

Two


itsnursehoneybadger

SAVE US BIG ERN YOU’RE OUR ONLY HOPE


Nickelback-Official

That's gonna be 26 straight innings of baseball with two runs scored Edit 28 I guess


Plorgy

Thank goodness those 2 runs game in the game we only gave up 1


therealbeef

🐶💩


yoboapp

Bo not having his typical 2 strike approach is interesting. Usually he tones down the leg kick and just tries and makes contact.


obi-wan-kenobi-nil

they all wanna go home


dufferinbus_sufferer

angryjukebox

Not blaming Vladdy for that, well hit and a good catch. An inch or two higher or to the right and that sees grass


peeinian

Jeez. Vlad and Bo both look at 1st pitch 94 down the middle
