  7. The vibes here are about as bad as around the time Montoyo called out Kikuchi for pitching poorly.

  10. i miss IKF… and romano… and chapman… and teoscar… and 2021-22 in general lol

  11. Truly legendary performance by Cuas. Walked a batter, hit two, gave up a hit, and allowed three runs to score in only 3 pitches.

    Edited: forgot about the hit.

  12. Ouch

    I still cannot see the Jays having a “fire sale” but what do I know?

  13. Extend Vladdy. Trade everyone worth something except Varsho, Berrios, and the Buffalo boys and go for it again next year.

  18. Rare to witness someone as powerful a black hole on offence as Barger good lord

  19. I think its time to wave the white flag on this season boys. With this offense (though better lately) and this absolutely attrocious, AA quality bullpen, there is ZERO chance of even trying for the playoffs. Hell, we’ve been TRYING all season long and where has it gotten us. I sincerely dont believe this team is capable of going on an extended winning streak to even get to .500 let alone contend for the 3rd wild card. Fire up the trade deadline speculation thread MODS!

  20. Just clean house.

    Shapiro and Atkins should never have a FO job in a competitive organization again. Fuck off to Colorado if you want to prioritize putting asses in seats at exorbitant prices than winning

  21. I wished for the offense of 2021 with the bullpen of 2023, why did you have to go and mix those two things up baseball gods

  22. Just one of the reasons this season has gone to crap. The bullpen ranks 28th in MLB with a 4.73 ERA. Only the Angels and Rockies bullpens have been worse
