1B umpire shouldn't be in the majors.

Feel like I can count on one hand the amount of times we've got a home run with a guy on base. This team is finished.

I don’t understand why we don’t have Schneider playing. Biggio is hitting .200, even if Schneiders streak was a fluke, how much worse can he be than .200?

feel like I can count on two fingers the amount of times this season chapman has gotten a hit with 2 out and runners on 2nd and 3rd.

You're down by 2 runs and you're making that decision. Incredibly dumb.

No clue why Berrios is being pulled right now for high leverage guys when we have 3 games in a row this weekend.

Trying to stretch a triple down two is so mind numbing I'm genuinely convinced Jansen thought we were only down 1 run. Only explanation for that.

His bat has been useless since April sad to see after his insanely hot start.

i'd be fired up too if I was kyle gibson. that's the best outing he's had since *checks notes* july when he went 6 IP and only gave up 1 ER against *checks notes again* the blue jays

The Rangers lost again, so even if/when the Jays lose tonight they don't lose ground on the one team in front of them that they can realistically overtake (I don't see them finishing ahead of SEA/HOU), but I don't know how anyone can look at this offense and think they have a shot at anything meaningful even if they somehow reach the post season. This team needs an organizational structure change badly.

Imagine if this team had to play the same divisional-heavy schedule they've played for decades this year. They'd barely be a .500 team. We're honestly lucky to still have a shot at any kind of playoffs with a month to go.

Mayza throwing 20 pitches in a loss here for some reason when he is very likely to be needed tomorrow.

Belt is really the only guy on the team with a good approach at the plate. What the hell happened to this team?

Umpire has been good overall, but that's two times now where he has cost the Jays a baserunner.
