Vogelbach was way better.


If there was only a way to have a lefty like Rowdy Telez is on our team!

Unrelated to our ability to scored runs but Trison McKenzie got dfa'd today. Should Shatkins trade a ptbnl to their buddies in Cleveland to see if Walker can get something out of him?

He’s atrocious but we are desperate. Wouldn’t be surprising.

I haven't attended a game since 2023. I've usually gone to at least 3-5 games a year since 2005. Not a hardcore fan, but I made time every summer to see them a few times every season. The past 3 seasons have been some of the most un-fun Jays teams I've seen since I started following them. Imo this team won't be going anywhere until Atkins or Shapiro are gone. Preferably both.

12 home runs in 22 games. Brutal.

The team is getting on base at a good clip, but they're not hitting with RISP. Few homers and not capitalizing with RISP is a recipe for an anemic offence.

“We could have gone forever. (Raptors management) kept knocking on the door and I was like, ‘A couple more minutes.’ Because we were really into it."

Bo Bichette hasn’t hit a HR in 233 PAs now. At least he’ll be dealt soon.

Wish we just waited before signing the extension. At this rate, which he likely won’t reach 30 HR, we could of got him for 200M less

I have a feeling that leg injury totally sapped his power.

I'm honestly not that worried about Vlad/Bo/Tony I think they'll all figure things out. Its just where's the rest of the offense coming from? Lmao

This is a "the second best time is today" situation though.
9. Similarly, IF THOU HAST SPENT the entire offseason predicting that thy team will stink, thou shalt not gloat, nor even be happy, shouldst thou turn out to be correct. Realistic analysis is fine, but be a fan first, a smug smarty-pants second.

The manager is always the scapegoat, yet these two clowns still have their jobs after 9 years.

Will help when Varsho is back, he’s probably the 4th best hitter on the team once Springer cools off.

But it’s obviously a huge fall off after the top-3, it’s a miracle they’re over .500 given the lack of power production from the top 3

He's definitely getting fired. He's on the last year of his contract, and his 2026 club option as far as I know has not been picked up yet. If things start heading downwards, then he's definitely the first domino to fall.
