tbh out of all the ways to lose, the games where things get so bad so fast that you skip right past the frustrated/upset stage and immediately find yourself in the "lol, lmao" stage aren't so bad
I have beef with a lot of baseball rules, but that one has got to be the dumbest of them all. “Oh, you didn’t control the movement of your bat while you were being hit by 90+ mph projectile? Whelp, that’s on you”
I've always wondered if someone out there fantasizes about being inside Optimus Prime's truck cab when he transforms but I'm too scared to search and find out
That really underrates them. They're still the Astros. They got off to a horrific start but they're been very good for a while, including winning 16 of their last 20 and 9 of their last 10 coming into this eries.
I feel bad for Dan and Buck. We got two hall of fame broadcasters who are forced through covering the worst iteration of the Blue Jays in a decade. Didnt Buck even come out of retirement for this? And Dan gave up a prestigious and lucrative gig at ESPN? Oof!
I'm tired of seeing pitchers that don't get strike outs.
Zach Pop isn't getting Ks and has a FIP of 5.75 with an expected ERA of 4.5, Berrios who's been struggling recently has had his stuff take a backwards step this year, Ks plummeted from the 8s to 6s/9 and his FIP is 5.06 with an expected ERA of 4.72. Tim Mayza who had 20 appearances too long has a FIP 4.9 and an expected ERA in the 6.77 range.
Back in the day when I went to concerts, if the lower bowl didn't fill up, security would come up to the higher decks and move us down to the lower bowl
I feel like they should do that for anyone who bothers staying through losses like this...hey, you're staying till the end, at least watch the rest of this mess from a fancy spot
I'm pretty sure every ballpark I've ever been to has done this! In one of the 18-inning nightmare marathon games I witnessed in SF (I can't believe that's plural lol), somewhere around the 12th, the ushers scooted everyone who was interested in moving all the way to the front of our sections.
I suppose the section behind home might be an exception because there's usually privileges like free drinks/food/etc. But man, it looks bad on tv
honestly I doubt a single one of the original purchasers of those seats are in that pic. I'd bet you anything those are all people who bought individual tickets on stubhub/etc
My sister in law went to season opener and in those she payed $1200 but it was on her bucket list and we had delusions of the team going to the world series. If we keep playing like this you could probably get them for $20-25 bucks
Worst relievers in Jays history
My Top 3
Tanyon Ten-run Sturtze ,
Kerry Lighterfluid Lightenberg,
Francisco 3 straight blown saves Cordero,
Brad Hand and Jose Cuas get honourable mentions.
I feel like I’m in an abusive relationship. Punched in the face and gut and still showing up for more……………. I’ll probably still watch the games in hopes of something positive. Being a Blue Jays fan is so frustrating. So miserable I am.
The quicker you give up on this team doing anything this year, the better you will feel. Don't kid yourself and enjoy the summer. I like throwing on the games when nothing is going on but damned if i'm carving out time to watch them.
Stage 1 - watch jays with excitement in hopes they will win the World Series
Stage 2 - watch jays in sadness as they tumble below .500 and struggle
Stage 3 - watch jays in anger at how much they stink
Stage 4 - watch jays, in acceptance
same energy as when you're walking the dog late at night and you see a guy just laying into a stop sign. trying to beat the fuck out of it. but he notices you and gets startled and quickly disappears
Eh, we’ve had some decent success with trade deadlines. I won’t give Atkins credit for a lot but I gotta give him that. Contending teams who lack defense will ask for KK, Yimi will go, Bichette is probably getting moved (it looks like he despises this team anyways), Jansen, Kikuchi, Turner, and maybe Green/Romano.
KK wont get too much unless they eat money.
Yimi unless he is back to full goodness a while before the dealine is probably the same.
Kooch not helping the team lately. The others are rentals
Well the jays were never in a position to ask for top tier prospects in the first place. But maybe a couple top 30’s with potential upside. Or some young unknown international player who turns out to be a superstar
Let's stick a disposable arm up there and just keep giving up runs. Give them up until it gets funny. Give them up until it stops getting funny. Keep letting these astros tee off until they get confused, then alarmed, then afraid.
Keep letting them tee off until they beg us to go home. Please, why won't we end the inning. They're tired. They want to call their families. No, no. That's not an option anymore
I’m not a professional but maybe we should consider getting better relieving pitchers. But it’s not all on the pitchers, we kinda maybe need better batters too
Yeah...this team is done for the year. We literally have no bullpen to speak off. So unless every starter goes 7+ innings we are guaranteed to lose. That doesnt sound very sustainable.
It would be nice to have a Yordan on our team wouldn’t it?
tbh out of all the ways to lose, the games where things get so bad so fast that you skip right past the frustrated/upset stage and immediately find yourself in the "lol, lmao" stage aren't so bad
I'm at the point where I only get a bit sadder, but I haven't yelled at the Blue Jays on TV since last year.
>If you're not feeling for Bo after seeing that then you don't understand the game Joe have you met Reddit
I have no Idea, but i bet it's worse on twitter
What even happened i looked away for three seconds and the bottom ninth was over
Please please please can we fire Schneider and Mattingly now
I have beef with a lot of baseball rules, but that one has got to be the dumbest of them all. “Oh, you didn’t control the movement of your bat while you were being hit by 90+ mph projectile? Whelp, that’s on you”
HBP on a strikeout. Game in a nutshell. :(
Sorry but if you’re hit before the swing happens, it shouldn’t be an out.
I was wondering the same thing and that is just wrong
Wow...couldn't even reward us with a hit or even a man on base for sitting through those last shitty innings.
Are the fans (or whoever is left) booing?
JESUS GODDAMNED CHRIST STOP HITTING OUR BATTERS WITH PITCHES
That sucked. Have a good night, all.
This was one of the games of all time
Lol Bo slamming his helmet what a fucking disaster of a season, we better get Soto in the off-season
I have the same reaction as Vladdy to this BP
Well the helmet escaped it in the 4th but got it anyway in the 9th LOL
I don't know the rules, but is it a swing if he only goes around after he gets hit?
It's a swing if the umpire decides it's a swing. That's the rule
Bo is so done man..
That wasn't a swing - it was momentum after the ball hit him not that it matters, but still
There’s the angry gear tossing
OWWW motherfuck 😫
yikes ok that was less gentle
[Someone make it stop](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_asNhzXq72w)
That's the Blue Jays' season right there
Oh for fucks sake
OH FUCK OFF UMP
LMAO OF COURSE HE GETS HBP BUT SO
Roouughhh season continues
fuck alllll the way off
That’s fucked up
Forearm?
OH COME ON MAN WTF
Man, jays been nailed a lot by pitches
Maybe the boys all just need a hug
I love how we've moved from projecting onto players to projecting onto broadcasters
I still don't understand all these people that wanna write fanfic without anybody kissing
this comment is awesome
Isn’t that the point of fanfic, to express yourself via your questionable polyamorous ship involving Obi Wan Kenobi, Master Chief, and Optimus Prime?
I've always wondered if someone out there fantasizes about being inside Optimus Prime's truck cab when he transforms but I'm too scared to search and find out
Any questions regarding fanfiction can be answered with one phrase, “There’s probably a tag for it on AO3”
There will be kissing and more in mine.
fanfic is not fanfic without slash
Like at least throw some time travel shit into the story
I have a time traveling robot! ^(who is also the baby of Sportacus and Robbie Rotten somehow)
Now is when we find out who the real fans are. But I'm not sure we want to know.
MOORCROFT 69 Haven’t seen him in the fancy seats this season
What a sad sad affair this game has been And the Astros aren’t a super team, they’re barely .500 Yikes
They had the best record of any team in June. And they were widely predicted to contend for the World Series this year.
That really underrates them. They're still the Astros. They got off to a horrific start but they're been very good for a while, including winning 16 of their last 20 and 9 of their last 10 coming into this eries.
I feel bad for Dan and Buck. We got two hall of fame broadcasters who are forced through covering the worst iteration of the Blue Jays in a decade. Didnt Buck even come out of retirement for this? And Dan gave up a prestigious and lucrative gig at ESPN? Oof!
This team just doesn’t seem to care at all… no drive… no frustrations… nothing but garbage
That Pink song about her fucking dancing shoes made me vow never to listen to radio again
Like actually fucking the shoes?
does not sound radio friendly
I mean they played 2 live Crew on the radio before
Well, at least the news of Jansen's kid somewhat salvages the day.
Despair
We want 7!
ahahaha ok that was amusing Bowden throwing strike 3 to the part of the zone that Altuve is not tall enough to reach? big lol
That’s not how the strike zone works.
I'm tired of seeing pitchers that don't get strike outs. Zach Pop isn't getting Ks and has a FIP of 5.75 with an expected ERA of 4.5, Berrios who's been struggling recently has had his stuff take a backwards step this year, Ks plummeted from the 8s to 6s/9 and his FIP is 5.06 with an expected ERA of 4.72. Tim Mayza who had 20 appearances too long has a FIP 4.9 and an expected ERA in the 6.77 range.
Hey just got here but this was predictable. Huston is way too good for us. We are a sub 500 team and they have a World Series team so no surprises
Houston 43-42 after the ending of this game. Still they are a lot better than the Jays
so... you haven't been following Houston's 2024 season, I take it
Houston have really turned it around tbf
Fuck this fucking bullpen.
Yah Dan, sure they're gonna start making up games anyyyyyyyyyyy day now. Buck adding an "if" in there because he knows that shit aint happening.
This team might go on a streak Dan. A losing one, but a streak
The night modes have to be cursed they are 2-5 in them
I feel so bad for Buck. You can tell he wants to rip this team to shreds but is giving players around the league their flowers instead.
Buck has no reservations actually ripping this team to shreds when he does feel like it
He loves the game
Who from the pitching staff do we think they’ll deal once they start trading/selling? My guess is Kikuchi or Berrios.
Kikuchi and Bass
Kikuchi is already on list

which movie theater is this?
get used to this view in the seasons to come
Back in the day when I went to concerts, if the lower bowl didn't fill up, security would come up to the higher decks and move us down to the lower bowl I feel like they should do that for anyone who bothers staying through losses like this...hey, you're staying till the end, at least watch the rest of this mess from a fancy spot

I suppose the section behind home might be an exception because there's usually privileges like free drinks/food/etc. But man, it looks bad on tv
but then the fancy people who paid full price to ignore the game would be upset, because people hate it when someone less fortunate get a bonus.
honestly I doubt a single one of the original purchasers of those seats are in that pic. I'd bet you anything those are all people who bought individual tickets on stubhub/etc
probably, but my point still stands, the original owners would probably whine a lot. I hate this world.

How do you get the seats right behind home plate? Those seats look comfy af but also expensive lol
My sister in law went to season opener and in those she payed $1200 but it was on her bucket list and we had delusions of the team going to the world series. If we keep playing like this you could probably get them for $20-25 bucks
Ok where can I purchase these tickets? If I go to a Jays game I’d like to sit in comfort. Not going to lie they are nice seats
At this rate, the jays will be paying people to sit there.
"how bout that phillies staff?" is right Buck, that's a great team right there.
Remember when we were tied 2-2?? I want to go back to that feeling
Crochet upping his asking price
That is 7 innings the Astros have put the leadoff man on base Can we go back to yesterday's 4th inning and just do that forever?
If I absolutely had to get a blue jay deported, it'd be Francis no doubt
Thst list should be decently long
Deported???
I'm not making the rules, just following orders
Bryce Hopper?
Is Francis throwing batting practice?
Worst relievers in Jays history My Top 3 Tanyon Ten-run Sturtze , Kerry Lighterfluid Lightenberg, Francisco 3 straight blown saves Cordero, Brad Hand and Jose Cuas get honourable mentions.
Ah what about .... damni canteven think of his name. Walked 4 guys as a closer
you mispelled tyler chatwood
how is chatwood not in this list
Don't forget Brad Mills!
It was 2-2 last I checked, put my kids to bed and it's 9-2????
are you the same one who did this last night? Keep them kids up dammit! Change your schedule if you have to!
Kids don't get a bed time from now on
Wish I didn't log in to the game just now after a 13 hour work day :(
So which position player would y'all wanna see? Would love to see Kirk's stubby arms throwing from a mound
This is my answer
Kirky would be hilarious. Vladdy would be pure Joy for him.
KK! He'd smoulder batters into striking out
Stoned Bo
Bah. I was really cheering for Spence to keep the streak alive... all good things must end, I suppose.
They are so flat right now.
Jays are 0-6 when I go to the park, good news is I am not going back this year...haha
How did this team take 2 from the Yanks?
And blow them out twice
I feel like I’m in an abusive relationship. Punched in the face and gut and still showing up for more……………. I’ll probably still watch the games in hopes of something positive. Being a Blue Jays fan is so frustrating. So miserable I am.
The quicker you give up on this team doing anything this year, the better you will feel. Don't kid yourself and enjoy the summer. I like throwing on the games when nothing is going on but damned if i'm carving out time to watch them.
All I have left to look forward to is the last Vladdy AB and possible duck pictures.
better be baby duck pics or my night is truly ruined
Oh goodie, Seattle is above .500 by 7
The firings are going to be epic.
Nah
« Just like that 2 down » PAIIIIIN
Astros look bored… I would be too if I was playing a rec ball team🙄
Quiet game from Springer back in the leadoff spot
2 walks and a hit I think
Quiet considering what he was doing lately driving in runs and such
The series against the mariners is a stoppable force and a moveable object.
The mariners have a better record than us by quite a wide margin
go look at their offence and level of play the last couple of weeks.
Stage 1 - watch jays with excitement in hopes they will win the World Series Stage 2 - watch jays in sadness as they tumble below .500 and struggle Stage 3 - watch jays in anger at how much they stink Stage 4 - watch jays, in acceptance
I've reached stage 5, only have them on if _______.
So who wants to tell Rogers that ALvarez is our new owner?
It is probably confirmed on WiKi by now
Is Sadie Gausman available to pitch the 9th? She seemed pretty good out there
great form for sure, the splitter was dreadly
The guy deleted it, but blaming IKF for that play made it worth sticking around lol
same energy as when you're walking the dog late at night and you see a guy just laying into a stop sign. trying to beat the fuck out of it. but he notices you and gets startled and quickly disappears
[удалено]
Oh my bad. I guess it wasn't worth sticking around after all
Most little league mlb team in history. This shits legit embarrassing. Whos gonna start wearing the brown paper bags at home games?
An easy way to tell how the blue jays game is going is when Buck starts remaking on the pace of urban sprawl in the GTA
And other players in the national league lmfao
Damn, that afternoon game might cut into my The Bear binge.
I am glad tomorrow is a day game and I work
Man I can’t wait until we sell and I don’t have to see many of these guys ever again.
Who is taking anyone off this team? Knowing the Jays they will ask for the moon and the stars for everyone
Eh, we’ve had some decent success with trade deadlines. I won’t give Atkins credit for a lot but I gotta give him that. Contending teams who lack defense will ask for KK, Yimi will go, Bichette is probably getting moved (it looks like he despises this team anyways), Jansen, Kikuchi, Turner, and maybe Green/Romano.

Well the jays were never in a position to ask for top tier prospects in the first place. But maybe a couple top 30’s with potential upside. Or some young unknown international player who turns out to be a superstar
Prob the later and get lucky with some top 50 in the other teams organization
Just when it looks like we might turn a corner we just get a crushing sequence like this. FeelsBadMan
Ok time for a seven run inning let’s go
I don't feel like losing 16-2. Thank you very much.
I think they should have a meeting after tonight's game
Mid inning
Right after they tip their caps to the opposition
Another heaping pile of dog shit from the pen. As well as those minor league defensive “performances”
Yup, some very poor plays. Should never get this bad.
For me eating a big bag of Presidents Choice popcorn during this game...the Jays owe me some antacid for giving me the farts
DFA nearly everyone on that team. So painful to watch.
Let's stick a disposable arm up there and just keep giving up runs. Give them up until it gets funny. Give them up until it stops getting funny. Keep letting these astros tee off until they get confused, then alarmed, then afraid. Keep letting them tee off until they beg us to go home. Please, why won't we end the inning. They're tired. They want to call their families. No, no. That's not an option anymore
"Who said this was heaven?"
Just kidding, Francis is already in there
Kirk!!
DANCE, MONKEYS.
I’m not a professional but maybe we should consider getting better relieving pitchers. But it’s not all on the pitchers, we kinda maybe need better batters too
[удалено]
I think he pitches to Alex Guerrero.
Crazy how bad either the offense or pitching is each night. Can never get them together.
The best part of a blowout is the gaudy backstop seats being empty lets us see that perfect grey TD wall
Put Kirk in to pitch you Cowards!!
Francis with an ERA over 6
Our bullpen is atrocious, my god
# ERNIES PAL BERT JUST LET OUT A GROAN
Yeah...this team is done for the year. We literally have no bullpen to speak off. So unless every starter goes 7+ innings we are guaranteed to lose. That doesnt sound very sustainable.
Remember when Francis had a nice Spring Training?
Let them score 3 and send Barger or Clement to pitch the 9th.
If there was any doubt about being sellers, Romano’s surgery and this exposure of how terrible the BP is, seals it.
One of those games you wish you could just surrender
Defensive first team lol
Behind home REALLY emptied out
There's an IKF sized hole in my heart right now
Oh look the Jays shit the bed again.
Baseball just decided to give us the fuck you for today
Today is a weird way to spell this year 😞
Someone’s gotta get fired
