  1. Lol I just went back and watched what he had to say, was so mad after the game I turned it off . I've wanted Zaun for the last couple years his knowledge of the game is insane, the only time I didn't agree with him was when he didn't think Donaldson should be the MVP and he picked Trout. I called him out on Twitter about it, few days later or a week later he changed his opinion.
  2. Gibbons is now in Travis's head, count is 2-0, 2 out bottom 9th down by 1 why aren't you taking until a strike is thrown? Instead swings at an inside ball and flares out, old Travis probably would of waited until a strike, but because Gibbons put him in a lead of position and then basically called him out to be more aggressive and swing more, he's now making bad decisions.... Get ride of this Manager he's brutal.
  3. This game is still going on... Has to be one of the longest none extra inning games in a long time, almost 4 hours... Just as I wrote that Carrera hits a bomb 1 run game crazy.
  4. Well at least they're scoring runs and not shut out, but now when we need pitching the most we aren't getting it now, no luck for the Jays.
  5. The fault imo goes back to last season when they resigned Smoak when they did, and then they got Pearce and basically shut down any 1B positions. Thames was asked about his return to Toronto for the home opener season, he was very excited about coming back and said something along the lines of it's like going back home, but didn't think fans would remember him. Yes I know it's speculation but back when it was reported he was making a comeback Jays were supposedly interested but back away. Revere and Thames are the two I was very interested, more Revere because this team needed a lead off badly, but once Thames was available again he should of been picked up 1 of those 2 should of been.
  6. Eric Thames is tearing it up on his return and this was a guy a thought the Jays should of easily brought back to fill holes like 1B when needed, and the outfield another miss by this new management.
  7. Toronto 10 hits 2 runs 3 errors Baltimore 14 hits 11 runs 0 errors Actually surprised we have that many hits, but with only 2 runs goes to show the bats aren't coming up clutch when needed.
  8. Yeah I was going to wait until that too unless the losing streak continued badly, but after getting blown out this bad I don't think I can wait that long now. And yes now with the amount of injuries time to panic is now. Even Bautista the guy was on fire in ST and at the WBC, but as soon as he had the back issue he hasn't been the same.
  9. Maybe if Jones wasn't worried about blowing a bubble of gum before making the catch he may of caught it lol
  10. I don't understand how a manager can have you best hitter to date(Barney .455) this season on the bench when your team is struggling to score runs....
  11. No need to panic right? That's what everyone keeps saying, so let's just keep this going!
  12. Boston did overachieve last year, before the season started they had them 3rd or 4th in final standings obviously that was not the case, but Ortiz helped carry that team a lot, now without him that's a big hit in their offense gone.
  13. Yeah the contract extension really has me questioning Shatkins, really felt until how this season went then that decision should be made. Two failed attempts to get passed the ALCS, if this team doesn't get passed that this year I don't see why Gibbons deserves to be resigned, and if this team doesn't even make the playoffs there's no way he should be here again. Will see how long this horrible play lasts, hopefully not to long but if it continues like this up to 30 games, a change needs to be made plus a trade or something to get a lead off, or sign the Pagan guy something. Or Pompey gets healthy soon and takes over the lead off role, but Gibbons being Gibbons probably wouldn't even give him a shot at it sadly.
  14. Well yes bringing in Morales if he lived up to expectations could fill most of EE hole and he is proving he is capable of that. The pop is definitely there in the line up but it's just not in sync. It's the lead off and getting on base with speed that they're truly missing, changes how a pitcher pitches too guys like JB or JD or even now Morales. I found Gibbons comments to Travis kind of stupid, he wants him being more aggressive and swinging, but your putting him in the lead off spot which his job is to see more pitches, I swear this team needs a new manager badly.
  15. I think it's safe to say it's time to panic, I remember last year and many should the bats were very similar, we always kept saying "their due for a break out, this offense is too strong" and we would get it for a game or 2 max and start to think the real Jays are back, but then they would go mediocre again and it would last for a while. Honestly their bats haven't been the same since 2015, so to think they're going to go on some tear or something isn't really realistic imo, yes they may get hot for a game or 2 but it's really hard to say if it will last. Bottom line they just really need a legit lead off who has speed and gets on base period.
  16. Saw that too, but did see him hit 95 and 96 near the end of the top 2nd probably just warming up!
  17. This is the lineup I would use today if I was manager, lefty pitcher. 3B Barney RF Bautista DH Morales SS Tulo CF Pillar LF Pearce 1B Smoak C Salty 2B Travis I'm not looking for balance in the lineup, I'm looking for runs in the top 6
  18. Really wish there was another Canadian team to follow until the Jays figure their crap out.
  19. Oh no finally something good turns into something bad.... Just Jays luck
  20. Once they're done the 5th without scoring it's going to be 18 innings, 2 games basically, was waiting until the 5th was up to post it but you brought it up lol.
  21. Well it's official the Jays have the worst record in the MLB now... But as Reggie said luckily it's still kind of close, if they could sweep one four game series they could be in 2nd, so there is some hope lol.
