  1. getting killed by their bottom order guys. this team is inept. didnt bunt with Varsho, sent Kiermaier, pulled Whit instead of Luplow, left Espinal in the game.. this coaching staff is beyond stupid

  2. At this point I don’t care Mitch White doesn’t have options.

    There’s no asset management to be had with him.

    He’s not an asset.

  3. # Bo Bichette goes 4-for-6 with a home run and is a triple short of the cycle, as the Toronto Blue Jays blow a 4 run lead in the 9th inning and lose 7-8 to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

  4. Worst loss in a long time, I don’t know what you do. Just absolutely blew it…

  5. What in the hell? I went to bed up 7-3 in the 9th, and the score just sent me the result.

    Hell of a meltdown.

  6. I am not from Toronto. I only got into baseball at the age of 35. I did this to myself……..

  7. Absolutely unacceptable play by Espinal in the 9th—that 2nd run had no business scoring. We keep finding new ways to lose. Fucking heartbreaking.

  8. Listen, I know Espinal was an all-star last year but Ernie Clement is slashing .347/.419/.523 in AAA with 7 strikeouts in 201 plate appearances and can play the same positions.

  9. Literally every week Rivera makes a dumbass send that costs us a run.

    Every.

    Week.

    Since April.

    Not all of them are game-changing, but enough of them are. I’m tired.

  10. Can’t help but think that our bullpen wouldn’t be worked so hard, if we didn’t pull starters early over the last week of games

  11. I blame Espy, White sucks but we know he sucks. Espy literally just had to throw home and Smith would have been out, game over.

  12. Espinal has to be sent to AAA or sat on the bench for at least a week after that amateur shit. Totally unprofessional and yet there won’t be any accountability because accountability doesn’t exist in this organization

  13. Let’s be real no one thought Mitch was gonna clutch that out.

    Also our bullpen is gassed our starters only go 5 innings regularly and even if they could go 6 Schneider makes you fight for it and will never leave a guy out there 7

  14. Fucking fuck this team will NEVER let us enjoy good vibes. But according to Schneider they’re really really close to ripping off a bunch of wins. Fucking ass clown

  15. Mayza threw 14 pitches and we were up 4… why not just let him take the 9th considering the bullpen was already depleted?

  16. Espinal HAS to go. There’s no excuse for the amount of defensive errors he’s made that have led to losses, let alone his lack of presence at the plate. The only thing he brings to the team is pain. This was a bad day for Swanson, but every day is a bad day for espinal.

  17. Why the fuck did Espinal try to barehand that deflected ball if he wasn’t planning on throwing home right away? Utterly brain-dead shit right there, folks.
