Man, it's tough to watch Manoah pitch. Feel bad for the guy.

You were right all along Randle. The pitch clock has completely cucked Manoah this year. He simply cant keep up with the pace and its completely shaken him mentally. Sorry i ever questioned you on that lol

This start was such a disgrace that I hope the Jays will finally stop pretending like this guy is fit to be at this level.

It started off with trying to adjust to the pitch clock, but it's more than that now. He's a complete mental wreck out there. After his comments after last start, they never should have even given him this one.

This has to be Manoah last start because these scheduled losses are not helping anybody, including himself.

The guy was literally crying for help after last start. Should have been a huge red flag for the Jays and it should have led to him not starting this game, but it apparently wasn't enough.

Jays having the worst starter in the majors 2 years in a row is pretty impressive lol

What comments did he make after his last start? I might have been out of the loop. Regardless, Manoah cannot start anymore games. Needs to be sent down to Buffalo to mentally and physically work on himself.

So I guess it still doesn't make sense to send down.

Manoah is done. Poor kid. They should have sent him down earlier to work on his mechanics. This is all on management. Fire these clowns!

Im no longer buying the "they dont have any better options available" excuse. With the way hes pitching this season, any random AA pitcher would be an upgrade at this point.

Read on Twitter


The guy was nearly in tears post game after the last one. Emotional and clearly full of self-doubt. It was a sign that he wasn't mentally ready to pitch at this level right now.
