Why couldn’t Jansen pinch hit there instead of Biggio hitting sub 200

The love affair Schneider has with this scrub Biggio is something to behold.

Also, has anybody figured out why the manager pulled a dominating Berrios after 7 innings and only 88 pitches when this is a doubleheader and we need all the relievers we can get?

How do you not start game one at like 1pm and game two at 6pm or something like that.

You said it best a few days ago. The man is a complete moron. He has Jansen sitting on the bench, and lets Biggio stay in the game. I am stunned Jansen did not pinch hit for Biggio.

Lance Lynn came into this game with a WHIP of 1.5 and and 108 hits allowed in 96 IP, to go along with a 6.47 ERA.
Blue Jays: Best we can do is one walk, one hit, and 12 Ks.

With this pathetic offense, two sac bunts may have been our best bet there. But we can't bunt, either.

Better late than never. Excellent bunt by Varsho.

Five straight ground ball hits. As I said earlier, even our hits suck (Varsho's bunt excepted).

Those hits were gorgeous. They don’t ask how, they ask how many.
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.

7 hits this inning, not a single one in the air out of the outfield. Absurd.

Will this be considered a forfeit at some point? There's still another game to be played

Biggio just bought two more months of regular playing time with that hit, after his terrible at bats and defense all day.
