Why are we using a challenge on an obvious safe call?

Watching TB play NY...Tampa is playing like a team,and we are not.
We lack discipline.
Even quite a few wins feel like losses this season,and when we do win,it feels like we dont know why we won,or how to keep doing the same things over,and over to win...in other words...execution.

This team is a absolute mess right now in every facet of the game its hard to watch. Kirk has that the runner is out for a mile.

I don't think this team has executed a good defensive play for a few weeks now.

Our catchers aren’t exactly helping us out defensively lately. Moreno is far and away our best defensive catcher.

This stretch of games has proven Moreno should get every opportunity to win the starting catcher job next year.

Ok,thats enough.Time to punish those who are not playing well enough by benching them.The ones who are good by rep should start.
Its like there zero accountability here,because the stars will pout,and get the mgr fired or something.
Bo should have kept his mouth shut about Montoya being fired was a good move.Who the **** does he think he is.

Seems like the Blue Jays’ problems go deeper than Charlie.

I'm pretty done with Jansen tbh. Moreno lacks power but his other wordly defense will make up for it and he can be a decent contact hitter which I don't mind since he'll be elite defensively.

Manoah wasn't any good today anyway. 4 walks, 4 ER. He's fallen off over the past month.

There needs to be a Player Only meeting because something funky is going on. No way we stink this much making every pitcher look like an ace

The Jays know what they have in Moreno. Going to take a lot for them to give him up.

He probably feels extra pressure like a lot of them do because of whats been happening,and the lineup happy manager saying "its panic time again..me thinks"
I,ll say one thing for Montoya(still had to go)...he did not hide his disappointment in Kikuchis performances,and probably would not have started him as much as Schneider.Schneider has no choice,he has to believe in Kikuchi..but we,ll see what happens when its his turn next time,if he pitches.

I think he's just running out of gas a bit. He's never pitched this many innings before in a season this long.

It's the front office's fault that we're asking him to do so much this year given Berrios and Kikuchi are having historically bad seasons.

At least they can bench one of Berrios or Kikuchi this week if they so choose. Although knowing this management team, they'll probably start both anyway.

imo-I dont care what Bichette has done;he does not deserve to bat 7th.
He should still be batting in front of our best hitter,and rbi guy Vladdy,in a better looking lineup order that this.
