Chapman costs them a run by weirdly trying to tag up on a shallow flyball in the 2nd inning.
One flew east, one flew west, one flew over the cuckoo’s nest.

Goddam that call. It's going to cost us at least a couple of runs.

I always believed in them.
Yankees have been crippled with injuries all year. Judge has been injured since June 3rd. Once Judge returns after the all-star break, and they get some of their starters like Cortes and Rodon, along with key relievers like Loaisiga; then it might be a different story if the Jays remain this pathetic with the bats. Might be only one WC spot up for grabs, and a healthy Yankees team this team has to dethrone to reach the post-season.

That was a beautiful bullet by Espi. You love to see it.

Kikuchi is getting absolutely crushed in this start and we don't really have the RPs to deal with it.

Hitting with runners on base? Who is this team, and what have they done with the Blue Jays?

11 hits with only 3 runs to show for it (2 of which were on HRs) is not great. This has been one of their worst strand games all year.

Vlad not catching that bad bunt probably costs them the game. That was an easy double play if he makes the catch.

Serious teams don't use minor league journeymen in tied major league games in the 6th inning. Again, if this was our current situation, how is Berrios getting pulled after 7?

That might have been Vlad's worst baserunning error of the season and that's saying something. Is he ever gonna be benched for any of this? We're over 4 years into his career now.

Baserunning...
(And I really hate how he just gave up on that. At least try to dive to avoid the tag, or something. Hate that lack of hustle)

Another stupid baserunning mistake by Guerrero to get out at Second. Cannot remember a Blue Jays team make so many careless outs on the base paths.

I can't even fathom where he thought he was going there.

Chapman behind him has a HR and Whit has two HR tonight and he's trying to go to 3rd there on a cutoff throw with a 1 run lead? Like seriously? Even the reasoning behind the attempt makes no sense.

It has been Comedy Central. Shapiro and Atkins said this year's team will be more professional and disciplined, yet they look like a bunch of little leaguers at times with careless mistakes on the bases time after time.
