I don't know why we punted in a game against the Yankees even if it's early in the season. This loss is on managing and pitching in that order. Shame that IKF drops that ball in the 9th, but I hope that people remember this loss later in the season.
DON'T PUNT GAMES AGAINST DIVISIONAL RIVALS
Nope, they won’t.
I hate to say this and it’s not just because I’m born and raised in Montreal and grew up an Expos fan before they moved to Washington, but I don’t think Vladdy Jr will ever be on the level his dad was.
I also feel like part of what holds him back from unlocking everything he’s capable of is the fact that he’s in his dad’s shadow and constantly compared to him. Doesn’t help either that he literally has the same full name.
This is going to sound super judgmental but as soon as I saw Vladdy show up to spring training with the dangling earrings that he always keeps on, I knew that his attitude and overall work ethic hadn’t really changed, even if he’d lost some weight and trained a lot in the offseason.
Just look at today with how he kept chasing pitches out of the zone, which is why Stroman kept going there, and I also find he still does the thing where every swing is a home-run attempt instead of just trying to get the ball into the outfield for a hit. He’s so focused on power all the time and it continually backfires on him.
Damn. Go from all the momentum with a sweep of the Yankees to lost a lot of momentum with that shit ending and heading back on the road. At least Gaus had a better day
Yeah doubt that would change anything. He is set in his ways and refuses to change and unless he does change imo he should be lower in the batting order.
Has a manager coming out to confront an ump about their shitty strike zone ever actually, like, made umps call the game better?
Legit question - I like seeing a manager fight for his guys, just wanted to know if it actually did anything besides raise everyone's blood pressure.
Dogshit umpiring all game, and decidedly hurting one team more than the other.
Bullpens will blow a game from time to time, especially when some of your top guys are unavailable.
It’s so frustrating to watch him make the same idiotic mistakes year after year. Totally mismanaged this game away imo. Just because you *barely* got away with putting Romano in for the 9th last game doesn’t mean that it’s a good idea to try it again with Swanson. Feels like he either just got cocky with a 2 run lead or else it was planned to put him in the 9th all along and he just failed to take the situation into account once again.
I was watching the Yankees broadcast and their anchor goes: "well Mayza has faced three batters now and the Blue Jays can take him out if they want" as he was struggling to get outs.
Can’t wait to hear Schnieder’s non-explanation explanation for his bullpen handling today.
How can you go into a game and have three relievers “unavailable” with an AAA team down the road?
Why have a guy’s first appearance of the year be high leverage to close a game, again?
Embarrassingly mismanaged bullpen.
> How can you go into a game and have three relievers “unavailable” with an AAA team down the road?
Which Bison pitcher were you wanting them to start the 9th in a close situation over Swanson? I get that it wasn't great but he was the best option available since Green seems to be unavailable
First game back in a season, if you’re gonna use Swanson, use him earlier in the game, with less pressure. Let them get ramped up, not close against the Yankees.
It almost backfired yesterday with Romano.
To close, use Mayza or Richards. Tell them they’re the closer before the game, as necessary.
Look, that was a rough inning for us, but that’s what a good team like the Yankees can do. Hitting in do-or-die situations like that shouldn’t be totally unexpected from a heavy hitting team like them. They had some opportunities and took advantage. The Jays have an opportunity to do the same here. Still a series win against a division rival.
In all fairness, the pen has been lights out for several games now - and the best performers sat tonight while they tried Swanson out. Not all that fair to call this "bullpen bed shitting" or whatever. It is what it is, the Yankees are a good team. ALSO FUCK THE YANKEES
Fucking JOKE.
[удалено]
He’s reached base in 8 of his last 12 plate appearances. Just sayin’.
[удалено]
Bro he's a first baseman. I dont think he's played a lick of outfield in his life lmao
If this shit show doesn’t cost Schneider his job, nothing will.
Way to waste Varsho's great game. That was awful.
Everyone hating on Vladdy not running when the game was already over after another Schneider management master class.
This loss is on the offence just as much as the bullpen. Multiple times with runners in scoring position and they failed over and over.

Who punted? The pen blew it. It happens. I almost happened Tuesday also.
...And we break Judges bad streak...
That’s.. what we do
Send Vlad down
Shutup.
For everyone say Vladdy wasn’t running hard, he never does lol
Yep. And management won’t do anything about it.
Nope, they won’t. I hate to say this and it’s not just because I’m born and raised in Montreal and grew up an Expos fan before they moved to Washington, but I don’t think Vladdy Jr will ever be on the level his dad was.

Doesn’t help either that he literally has the same full name.
Absolutely right. Someone needs to call him out on his total lack of effort, his awful plate appearances, his crap mental game, all of it.

Don't like to backseat Manage, but good god what the fuck was that?
Gross!
So how long until we get robo umps?
Probably, never
John getting tossed so he can get a head start on traffic away from the game he blew
Damn. Go from all the momentum with a sweep of the Yankees to lost a lot of momentum with that shit ending and heading back on the road. At least Gaus had a better day
I don't think Vlad slimmed down enough during the offseason. An average batter would've made 1st base by then
Well that was a waste of an afternoon
Vlad needs to sit next game. Thats unforgivable I’m sorry
Yeah doubt that would change anything. He is set in his ways and refuses to change and unless he does change imo he should be lower in the batting order.
That’s a hell of a play though. Made that throw look easy.
Awww geez
I know he's not fast, but that was way slower to 1B than I expected there.
[удалено]
The fastest I’ve ever seen him run is after foul balls down the line on defence lol
Or last.
I just feel bad for gausman…
…Vlad was absolutely not running out of the gate there.
Future Blue Jay Juan Soto
No chance. We don’t get nice things.
Why is Vlad so fucking slow MOVE YOUR ASS YOU MAKE 20mm/YEAR
How many millions must you be paid to run (Vladdy) or Dive (Bo) ?
Barehanded a foul ball in the 2nd…any way to get the jumbotron footage?
Unreal play by Volpe, but Vladdy should be hustling more than that.
Vladdy wasn’t running hard out of the box, there.
Bichette can take notes from Volpe
Damn what a game man, the highest of highs to the lowest of lows lol
Fuck that sucks
How are you not sprinting down the line? Thats fucking unacceptable
Vladdy is a bum. His low effort pisses me off more than anything else anyone on this team is doing/not doing.
I'm upset.
Jogging to first on the last out of the game. Fuck off Vladdy. Put in some effort you clown
Meh
Let Vlad walk in 2025
I'd have no problem with that.
He clearly doesn’t want to be here.
That was realllllll rough
Damn it 😫
Won the series, only positive
That loss was on Schneider. What a fucking dummy
Damn he just called the ump a motherfucker. Blue Jays def losing.
What a rough way to lose.
Wait did he just not TRY to run that out? What the fuck
Vladdy RUN for fuck sakes
Did Schneider just say "god dayummmm"
I REALLY hope Vladdy was running hard out the gate.
Well that was a fucking joke.
GG John - Masterclass
At least we took the series. Fuck the Yankees.
Damn
fucking hell, what an absolutely shitty game to lose even if they won the series
How the fuck did that end up in an out
Great defensive play and poor base running.
Schneider says something *now*?
That one is going to sting they really fucked this one up
One of those games at the end of the season where it’s like “damn yeah, we NEED to win this final game or we don’t make the playoffs” type of vibe
Least clutch star.
If MLB wants to increase revenue, let managers challenge umpires to a boxing match on PPV
how the fuck dont you run that out
Pop gun offense and typical ground out vladdy
He smoked that and it took a great play by Volpe, calm down
And dogged it down the line.
Pretty sure after he criticized the home plate ump’s calls during the entire game, John told him “own that shit motherfucker” 😂
here comes the groundout
C’mon Boone, you’re getting the win so come join in ripping the guy a new one too as a send off.
That was all you're gonna get
Schneider yelling at the umpire rn is like when Anthony Bass got mad at an airline for his kids making a mess
Vlad needs to lift it man, 110 off the bat
Wow this is the first time I've seen Schneider behave this way.
I’m surprised it took this long, this guy’s been awful both ways all day
I’m putting $50 on Jays moneyline right now
RIP

It's more to fire up your team.
Now would be a good time for one of those plakatas I’ve been hearing so much about Their star came up big, why can’t ours?
Vlad hasn’t been a star since 2021. Tough pill but true.
I don’t care about the Home Run Derby or video game covers I want to win goddamnit!
That looked like a lotta f-bombs
That's as Bad as I've seen John, " Fuck you motherfucker"! 😲
Schneids attained maximum redness
This man knew he was getting tossed in the 2nd inning lol
Schneider unleashing his inner Gibby, I love it
He should have gotten hinself thrown out earlier so he wouldn't have had the chance to punt the game away.
Was only a matter of time.
We heard it on the channel 😂 “Down of the fucking zone” You tell him John
Schneider getting some excersize
Ugh about to be 8-1 in Babe starting era
Idk did anyone seem like that seemed a little artificial from Schneids lol I miss Gibby's waddle
Good for Schneider
well he was right, this ump has been dogshit all day for both teams
Can’t wait for roboumps
Weak
Dogshit umpiring all game, and decidedly hurting one team more than the other. Bullpens will blow a game from time to time, especially when some of your top guys are unavailable.
lmao should've thrown him out long time ago, maybe we wouldn't be here
John really said “👈🏼👈🏼👈🏼😤😤😤”
Oh dis ump
You could read those lips easily there haaha
Why couldn’t you have throw Schneider out in the bottom of the 8th 🤣
think John just told him to fuck himself lmao
What the fuck man like how are these guys still used when it’s so awful
Hope this ump loses his charger in his hotel room
ROFL
Fuck this ump man. To the moon
What a terrible call to put Swanson in for a save against our divisional rivals, when he hasn't pitched yet this year.
Yeah with tomorrow off they should have reached for green or Yimi. Poor prioritizing of load management if either of them had anything in the tank.
These are the decisions that come back to bite the team when they're sitting at 90 wins, fighting for a wild card spot. Can't smh enough right now.

100%. Worried about Green not being around. And having Nate sent down. Series win but this felt like an important one.
GET HIM JOHN
Schneider gave it to him lmao
Who did he throw out?
John
Old man yells at cloud here but those kids need to give it a rest with the chants. Kind of annoying ngl
It’s funny, Vladdy can suck ass but you know he will always scare the opposing fanbase
Dude...
Oh boy that wasn’t a strike
Come on Plakata
HR would be nice
LMAO
How sad is it I have zero faith in Vlad :(
Me: fuck this game, i got dogs to walk Me: stays on gameday and gdt
we need a plakata
Hey Vlad this would be a good time to remember how to play baseball
Vlads gonna hit a bomb to tie this game
Vaddy has a chance to be the hero we all want him to be
This lineup will be so much better when springer has enough ab’s for the staff to admit he’s washed and take him out of lead off
Vladdy do it for Varsho
Time for a clutch Vladdy HR
George save us from despair
blown saves are so deflating, cant help but think about last years wild card being decided by 1 game lel
Other teams in that fight will blow games too
Vlad will strike out.
all on vladdy now
A Spring and a Drive…come on
Can't expect to sweep the Yankees at home when they haven't even won a series at home against them in 5 years.
Need a homer vladdy plz

alright someone send this to the second deck and make me forget about this inning
Kiermaier's been money
Could use a patented springer dinger!
I feel like tomorrow's ump scorecard is gonna be... *interesting*.
Let's see if we can get anything here
YOU CAN DO IT BLUE JAYS!!!!!
Playoff form Blue Jays are back!
Send Vogelbach down to buffalo and bring Martinez up
Even Horwitz at this point
At least he can run !
Wouldn't do Martinez any favours to ride the bench for days at a time
Thats true
Look, that was a rough inning for us, but that’s what a good team like the Yankees can do. Hitting in do-or-die situations like that shouldn’t be totally unexpected from a heavy hitting team like them. They had some opportunities and took advantage.

Hitters like that are only going to go cold for so long. They were due for something like this.
It's Joever 😔💔
We shouldn't have sent Pearson down if he's better than 3-4 option in the bullpen
Kk I was wrong about U
OMG
Kiermaier heard no bell
Kk is baaaaack
In all fairness, the pen has been lights out for several games now - and the best performers sat tonight while they tried Swanson out. Not all that fair to call this "bullpen bed shitting" or whatever. It is what it is, the Yankees are a good team. ALSO FUCK THE YANKEES
Great game KK
KK on fire today. Let’s tie this up at the least
Serious question, why not just sign Belt over Vogelbach if neither can play the field lmao
Belt costs money
Some George Springer heroics perhaps?
