No idea why Bowden Francis was pulled when he was dealing.

New hitting coaches, same old results.The situational hitting is absolutely dreadful. Need a trade to shake things up. 2 games under .500 and NY pulling away with the division.

When we pulled Rodriguez after two quality innings and only 26 pitches, I knew it was going to be trouble.
This guy. Every time.

Chris Black notes the Jays' better hitters are hitting the ball hard but the exit angles are too low, hence balls that would be out of many parks are just loud outs.

You don't get extra runs for exit velocity. Are teams going to add exit velocity and launch angles coaches next? These nerds refuse to allow fans to vent. Exit velocity is a useless after the fact evaluator.

Pulling a SP who is dominating after one time through the order. Feels like I’ve seen this one before.

That backup catcher is definitely no major leaguer, is there a reason why Kirk couldn’t play this game

Never in doubt.
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.

Ooof. Imagine winning a series while only scoring 4 runs across three games.
There's at least two sets of fans unhappy right now.
Onto the No Fixed Address Athletics!

Re: The Toronto Blue Jays(25-27) @ Texas Rangers(26-28), May 26-28
Alejandro Kirk has been the Blue Jays’ most consistent hitter this month. The 26-year-old is batting .343 with a homer, nine RBIs, and a .803 OPS across 21 May contests. He’s walked seven times, only struck out four times, and shown little wear despite playing behind the plate ~70% of the time.
I did not notice this. But good!

We need Heineman's Ruthian bat back in the lineup.

“We could have gone forever. (Raptors management) kept knocking on the door and I was like, ‘A couple more minutes.’ Because we were really into it."

Can we stop giving Myles Straw playing time now?

Can you be done with some of our other players too so they can maybe rack up a 5 RBI inning?
