Someone is going to give you a haul for Vlad right now? If so, do it. I'd just hold him myself and wait for somebody to fix his swing. It's bound to happen eventually, even if it never does in Toronto.

Interesting that Mayza wasn't the choice against a red-hot Bellinger. Looks like it will cost them the game.

We didn’t trade for Jordan Hicks to watch him throw an 89 mph hanging breaking ball.

Hilarious slider there in that spot, especially after that swing on the first pitch. What a joke of a team.

Romano remains the best RP on this team. Too bad he's pitching in Buffalo today.

Surely the Jays magically win this game if the hitting coach gets fired. Totally.

Yet another pathetic loss. They should be on the outside looking in by the end of the night.
