Hilarious........... no charges were "laid".

Comments, lol. Three stokes and you're out! ..............right where the dome splits apart and spreads wide open on sunny days.

What the hell just happened? I've been watching baseball for a helluva long time. The cubs just made the Jays look really dumb. 2 out, with runners on first and third. Runner at first attempts to steal a base......... more like intentionally get caught. Kirk takes the bait and a run scores. Like WTF? Oldest play in the book. Runner at third scores while the Jays are running down the runner between first and second. Of all the times they practice hitting, catching ground balls and shit, they are not prepared for plays like this. It seems the Jays go all dumb, defensively, when Mitch White is on the mound. The Jays are not a team that is going deep into the playoffs. They're down 5-0 in today's game.


Oh well, hoping for another miracle come back.

I'm calling it. Jays are going to miss the playoffs again by 0.5 games. Same result as last season.

They have 16 games left against Baltimore and Tampa Bay alone which is basically their season right there. If they want to make the post season you need to win those series, but the way they are playing now it's hard to see it.

I haven't been following the Jays like a real fan would more of a casual baseball fan who happens to tune in to their highlights and sometimes even purposely look to see if they won. It appears (could be wrong) that they constantly go on these streaks. One minute they're on a double digit game streak of being way under 500 and the next they'll be on fire for double digit amount of games. Sometimes the hitting is amazing but pitching sucks and sometimes it's the other way around like you don't even know what team you're getting going into any game regardless if the other team sucks or not. Pretty frustrating stuff!

Damnit......... thought it was the usual 4:00 pm start. Good thing I can watch the game from start via Shaw Gateway.

Pittsburgh.............. nice ballpark....... PNC?


Go, Jays, GO!!!!!

Roberto Clemente, damn...........

Stephen Blass

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Blass

Legends. Great pregame show.



Bullpen day today.......... ewwwww.................


Doesn't matter.

Go, Jays, GO!!

Holy crap......... so many Blue Jays fans in Pittsburgh. More Jays fans than Pirates fans......... I gotta get me on of those old school Pirates baseball caps. The ones that look like cans. Pillbox caps, lol.

Four at Baltimore.................

Battle of the birds.

Baltimore is the one team that can hurt the Jays big time. They were dead last earlier in the season and now they're just two and a half games back of the Jays and the last Wild Card spot. This year, more teams can get into the post season, but no more one game tie breakers. The team with more wins against the opposition gets in. The jays are behind in that aspect to just about all the teams in contention for the wild card spots.

Kevin Gausman, former Oriole, is on the mound for Toronto. His dad is in the stands and the story is, Kevin never loses when dad's in attendance. That and Springer being in today's game, things look good. Today's double header was the result of a rained out game early in the season. It's coming down again. Toronto is leading 2-1 at the bottom of the third.


The Jays are in control of their own destiny.

10 games with the Orioles
9 with Tamp Bay
3 with the Boston Red Sox
3 with NY Yankees
---------------------------------------------------------------------
3 with Texas Rangers
3 with Philadalphia Philies

How's that for baseball in the month of September?

Go, Jays, GO!

20 minute rain delay, lol.

Mitch White? We is in trouble. It's a toss up between Kikuchi and White as to which pitcher is the most useless.............. I think White is the worst. Kikuchi is coming around.

Dodgers like, phew............ thank you Blue Jays.


Hopefully minimal damage is done and the bullpen comes through to save the day.


Go, Jays, GO!!!!!

So glad the Jays have the Barrio Jacket. Heavy chain is what Oriole players get when they hit the home run. Which team has the wheelbarrow? That has to be the dumbest thing yet.



Found it!

I hope it's not a regular thing, gulolol.



Then, there's this.............

https://www.foxsports.com/stories/ml...un-slide-video


Clowns and mascots only, please............. oh, wait................. hee hee, hue hue, pew pew.

Wow, did Kirk score from second? Cedric Mullins is like, "Yeah, it's Kirk. I'll take my time." Kirk was pumping his legs pretty hard. His face when he was in mid stride. Damn, all the Jays are serious af.

I'm really liking this Schneider. Good guy and very well spoken, as far as managers go. He was asked about the jerk of an umpire. Made it sound like, "I'm not going to even give the fokker the attention he wants." Nelson, the ump and crew chief yesterday called balk against Gaussman. He waited for the first possible opportunity to call it. Mistake by the officials is understandable, but to make a call in that way is so unprofessional. He's crew chief today and behind the plate. He also refused to pause the game or call the yard crew out to dry the mound and batters box in yesterday's game. Pitchers were slipping off the mound and runners slipping. Finally called out the crew in the end. What the hell?

He also threw Charlie Montoyo out of the game back in April? Umps have a hard job and sometimes they get criticized unfairly. Moves like that don't help their cause.

I'm not sure if it was always this bad but the umpires behind the plate seem particularly horrible lately. It used to be that they all have their own strike zone but they'd stick to it. Now the consistency is out the window, one pitch is a ball, the next pitch in the same spot is a strike. It frustrates both batter and pitcher when you do that.

They seem to be calling pitches at least 3 inches outside a lot more lately too.

Bichette is on a tear right now though damn

When a strike is called three inches off the plate and away, it's pretty much impossible to hit.

For the love of Loki, the Jays work hard for a 3-0 lead and White erases that in an instant. Orioles now ahead 4-3 with only one out and bases loaded. Like WTF? Pull him out of the game now before it gets out of hand.

The look on Manoah's face at the end of the game. Yikes. He's gonna be pumped for tomorrow. Today's loss was totally on errors by the Jays' best hitter, Bichette. Too many errors.


I wAnder if Nelson will be crew chief again tomorrow. He did nothing to prevent the bench clearing. He threw fuel on the fire and did some fanning to boot. What would be great is if the league replaces him for the next game and perhaps prevent him from officiating any game between the two teams. Again, none of this would have happened if he did not issue warnings.

Yet another important game in Baltimore.

Vladdy, what the hell? Not much effort there. He better get that one back for TO.

If there is such a thing as a baseball god, Baltimore should be sent right to hell. 8000 fans in today's game. Like WTF? Jays have fans all over the world, not just TO, Ontario, Canada, or even North America. Jays deserves every break possible. Baltimore does not deserve to be in the post season with support like that! /rant.



And, while I'm on it, FU Baker.



Go, Jays, GO!!!

Texas Rangers today.

Globe Life Field finally has its roof wide open. Last time it was open was back on April 30th!

Springer!!! Dude is a beast.


Anyway, Go, Jays, GO!



Damn, this facility is one of those multi-purpose types. Not liking it. Dead infield, to boot. Nothing bounces. Balls just dies. Bucket list. Visit every major league baseball park in NA. Need to start a "Go Fund Me," crowdfunding, gulolol.


Nice to see Marcus Semien again.



EDIT: I take that back, the ballpark is actually very nice, as far as the seats and whatnot. Scenery, not so much.

Wow, what a story. Josh Jung of the Rangers. First MLB game, first time at the plate and he hits a solo homer off Stripling, of all people.

BTW, Jung is not a chinese/Korean only, name. It's German (High German). Josh is about as white as can be. As opposed to Mitch White (half Korean), who's not................ hee hee, hue hue, pew pew.

For the love of manic Mondays..............rule changes for 2023 season.

Larger bases.
Larger, but second base is closer to home plate.

Pitch clock.
15 seconds from time pitcher receives ball to time ball is thrown
20 seconds with players on base.
Pitcher gets two tries to throw out player at first. Third failed attempt = balk.

No shift.
I have mixed feelings about this. Teams with good statisticians have the advantage. The shift doesn't always work. I like it. It makes teams really analyze and think about all kinds of things.


Catcher rule not up for discussion, i guess.

Another nail biter. Texas not going away.



WIN!!!



Can someone teach the Jays to bunt? Actually, can anyone teach any modern player how to bunt? Truly a lost art.


Oh oh............ Hazel in the green dress. Do they do the gatorade shower in away games? I guess not. Grounds crew would freak.

So, Rays closing in on NY. If the Jays keep the winning streak going, the Division Pennant is a possibility. Probably not, but ya never know.

For the time being, the Jays are sitting in second place of the wild card race.

In Texas for 2nd of 3 game series. It's Kohei Arihara for Texas vs Kevin Gausman.

Jays ahead 2-0 on doubles by Springer, Bichette, and Kirk. Top of the first with one out.



Go, Jays, GO!!!!!!


Usually, I get home just in time to watch a game. Today, being an early start and at home, I decided to watch the Pre-Game Show, Blue Jays Central. Damn, some good stuff. Anyway............

Frick. Batters get 4 runs in for the Jays and Gausman shits the bed. It's 4-3 for Toronto at the bottom of the first with one out.

11:30 game time.

If the Jays win today and the Rays lose, the Jays will be on top of the wild card standings.

It's bullpen day, yikes! Good news is, Teoscar is back from paternity leave.

Go, Jays, GO!!!


Trevor Richards........... should have booted him off the mound long before the bases got loaded with only one out. Now whoever comes in for him has an uphill battle. Jays are down 1-0, but that is about to change. Damn, the bullpen. If it weren't for the batters on this team, the Jays would be near the bottom of the standings. /rant

Great. Phelps gets the Jays out of a bases loaded situation and in the next inning, gets pulled in favour of Useless Kikuchi to face lefties. WTF? The guy (Phelps) is pitching well, who cares about lefties. Phelps can do it. Now it's 3-0 with one out. Kikuchi gives up a two run homer. 5 game series against the Rays coming up, including a double header on Tuesday. The longer a pitcher can stay in, the better for the bullpen.

For the love of Kate's Bush............... the Boom Stick!

Then again, it's Texas.

https://thecomeback.com/food/the-vir...for-years.html

It comes with its own carrying case.

NVM Vladdy getting hot, I can't wait until players like Chapman gets going. When pitching sucks gecko balls, they have to start hitting the ball out of the park. Don't be leaving runners stranded.



GO, Jays, GO!



I've always wAndered what Vladdy draws in the dirt when up to bat.......... pentagram?


Looking forward to a Hazel Mae gatorade shower.
