[Azvacar]

Past 2 days I stay late at work and have not watch the series at mobile yet.I tune in on my break. Some here stated we were 50-22 at home,got the low end of their bull pen.I wanted to trade Castillo last year.Anyways, good game Bluejays. Hope for the best tomorrow

Hard when you throw out a ... really weird lineup.... Castillo pulled too short... might as well let him give up the run himself

Again A RiD said mariners.... 1 and 7.... We win tomorrow... lose next day in Toronto and win game seven...

LIterally not over at all.

Kinda sad people say that at 2-2

Agreed. If I woke up today not watching the first four games, I’d probably assume we split in Toronto and then split the first two at home. We are still in a decent spot, it just sucks we totally blew this 2-0 lead. But yes, it’s still very much a series. Tomorrow does feel a bit like a must win, asking this team to win two in a row on the road after losing three straight is asking a lot.

You rag on Wilson when he "leaves the starter in too long" and you rag on him when "pulls the starter too soon."

I think they were trying to prevent the big inning, and it kinda felt like it was trending that way, imo.

 

[NoGain]

I'm thoroughly bummed out. We come home with all that excitement and energy and basically got our arses handed to us. They deserved these games. No doubt about it. Beat us in every facet of the game these last two outings.

BUT...the series is still tied 2-2. It's not over. But good lord! We need a starter that can get us to the later innings. And good lord! Stop swinging for the fences late in the count and go for contact. Why is this so hard for our hitters to get?

It's like we don't know how to situationally hit.

This team has five bats.

I think we need to start holding posters accountable. Meaning have them post their opinions before the result.

Mariners own the Jays in their house. Sweep of a series win in fact. Watch the trash talk dude. History isn’t on your side vs Seattle in the playoffs.

Huh. Not even trash talking. After tonight - hoping that the jays sweep on the road. Gee that would be nice.

We'll just have to see what happens

Elbows up

 

[CalgaryFan05]

Too funny. Jays got written off. Stay tuned.

Tarrif that!

 

[sutz]

I nominate that ice cream cone phone commercial for top 10 dumbest of the year.

Let's go! Don't worry the butt hurters will just put you on ignore. Its really weird???

 

[Cyrus12]

Let's go blue jays! Let the chants start!

As this year went by? Especially after the trade deadline people were saying we were dangerous as for me I saw that we did not have anyone hitting anywhere near 300. Yes there were a few times Polanco and JP got close.What I saw was, we did not have anyone hitting anywhere near 300 almost all season and striking out in bunches. There were a few times Polanco and Crawford got pretty close (don't count Canzone because of his limited ab's)but always to drop back down near to the
.250 mark. where I find it really strange about this team is that when someone gets into a funk (pitchers included) it is contagious like the plague. Don’t get me wrong. I think we are very good team, but we are not built for a long series, especially on the offensive side with that batting averages I would like to see we go after some solid contact hitters that hit for average this off season.

 

[sutz]

Well, Hancock getting some valuable playoff experience.

Very true, we didn’t beat them like there beating us.

To many mistakes, getting picked off of 1st and 3rd.

Our at bats are atrocious, watch strikes, and swing at crap.

I don’t get it.

 

[Wsumatt1982]

Need to get Suarez and Canzone out of the lineup. I didn’t watch even a second of this game but neither of those two can hit at all

Very, very few hitters hit .300 or better in this era. There were only 7 in all of MLB this season.

Naylor hit .295 on the season and that was tied for 9th best batting average in baseball.

Suarez has been sub .200 ever since he got here.

Game Over!!! See you tomorrow night!

Who do you put in? Robles is hitting .115 in 26 AB's this postseason, and the other options are Garver, Mastrobuoni, and Harry Ford.
