They need to get on base and then they need to bring in Davis Schneider to pinch hit

Unless they were hung over all season, that isn't an excuse for this. This is who they are and have been for 6 months.

I believe in you, Matt Chapman.

it's over anyways, look at these at bats, desperately hacking away at total junk.

Yes, which is why the early Gausman pull made little sense. Throw everything you've got into winning tomorrow.

I meant the series. If they keep playing like this, there's good chance tomorrow's game won't even be this close (before the relievers come in).

I get what you're saying but choosing to focus on game 2 four innings in, only down 2-3 runs is embarrassing in itself. Basically if they lose this series, it's not coming down to that Gausman pull.

Yeah, he was over throwing. He was aware of the spotlight for sure.

As we’ve been saying all season Jays would have won if we held them to 0 runs
Pretty neat and on the fridge for the real fans:

The Jays in 2015-2016 jumped on first pitches, now they all stare at them?

Well that all depends on what the relievers look like in games 2 and 3. Using guys on back to back days has a tendency to reduce their quality.

If you put a gun to my head and asked me the most likely outcome of this game I would've said 3-1 twins

Those teams actually hit fastballs too.
