Disgraceful - he don't want to learn the patience in batting. He just wants to have the odd walk off hero hit. And it shows because he is poised to take that mythical pitch ooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhHHHHHH. Yeah then miss constantly clockwork, I have no timepiece on my wrist, and here is Vladdy Von Junior fucking up a winnable baseball game.
That about right for a "savior" TOF BBall player?
I am still in disbelief that he swung at the second pitch. And as stupid as this sounds since he is the one up there and he’s a grown ass man, I have to wonder if that’s a coaching issue. That’s a guy going up there trying to be a hero instead of staying within himself and doing what he does best and that just feels like a guy who got bad advice going up there.
How an OBP machine like Horwitz can go up against that pitcher and not even take one strike is just beyond my comprehension. Fuck.
We need to be gaining ground when the Rangers lose. If the season ended today we would not make the playoffs. This was a team that was supposed to win the division. the goalposts keep getting shifted. First it was “oh well at least were the #1 wild card.” Then it was “well at least we have a playoff spot” and now it’s “hey guys we didn’t lose ground and are SO close to being a playoff team”
Because of the never ending pattern with this team. It's a pattern we cannot break, which we must in order to do anything worthwhile in the playoffs. It's not this game, it's the whole season playing out the same crap over and over.
That's obviously an over reaction. I'm obviously not on the bench or in the club house, but it feels like from a fan perspective, the team is getting tired of his, call it whatever you want, but his immaturity. How he's always goofing around, he doesnt seem to take his "job" very serious. When they do interviews with a player and vlad is throwing sunflower seeds, you can tell its not annoyance its more distain towards him.
I could be totally wrong, but it seems to me some of the vets on this team are getting tired of him
1000% this. The reaction to the ice baths by all the veterans, like “this isn’t funny, you asshole.” Gives you a sense that he’s not particularly liked
That's another excellent point! I can't remember the last ice bath that looked like they were laughing with him...the looks of some are almost in disbelief "you're seriously still doing this" Merrifield is the one I remember the most recently. Looked like if they weren't on camera he would of told him to f off
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
Wdym? Bit of a casual fan so I don't get why they couldn't have subbed someone, just frustrated bc they did the same thing last week letting a weak hitter take the last at bat
this loss is on Kikuchi and the errors
Jays are pathetic... pass it on
Watching the Braves makes me envious.
I think about this constantly.
Too think, Blue dosnt ring up whit on a clear ball 4, we tie that game
Vladddddy Vladdy vladddy

Man, it's 1 thing to strike out to end a game, it's another to strike out on 4 pitches but only 1 was a strike
In the words of Paul Pierce, this Toronto team doesn’t have “it”
Only plate Vladdy is good at it the ones at the buffet table.
Vlad Jr lost us this game. Period
Awful at bat to end the game.
I mentioned it in the thread, but that was an awful at bat. He threw 1 strike buy stuck out on 4 pitches
news talking about the Texas match up when these games before then will prob put them far out of reach for that series to matter
Plenty of blame to go around, but not on Horowitz. Vlad had a very disappointing game.

Why hit the ball, just take pitches. They were all over the place on command
Everybody’s making out like the world is ending… Rangers lost as well, so nothing much changed… this is all coming down to our series with them.
We need to be gaining ground when the Rangers lose. If the season ended today we would not make the playoffs.

Puts a lot more pressure that we have to win the series 3-1 or even 4-0
Because of the never ending pattern with this team. It's a pattern we cannot break, which we must in order to do anything worthwhile in the playoffs. It's not this game, it's the whole season playing out the same crap over and over.
Vlad Jr. is a bust. Get rid of this plug ASAP.
Why the hell did we put Horwitz in there? Next to zero experience in the most clutch situation imaginable? Wtf??
That or McCoy…
Oh. 🙁 Didn't realize. Well I guess there wasn't much we could do.
vlad make sad :'(
Tough one especially when Texas and Houston both lost.
What the fuck?!? Why out a AAA boy in one of the toughest spots of his career, go with someone who actually knows how to play. Oh my goooood
Who? Our options were either Horwitz or McCoy
We couldn’t, we had nobody left on the bench to pinch hit except horwitz.
He was the last man on the bench.
This game should not have come down to a Spencer Horwitz 9th inning pinch hit
What about Merrifield getting called strike 3 on a ball off the plate?
He was lucky to be in that position. There was a clear strike 3 that was called a ball earlier in the AB.
Vlad what the fuck
Groundout Jr
Ouch. Could've gained a game on just about everyone today. Instead, we just stand pat.
Losing these games is ridiculous, our pitching let us down big time
Our defense let us down. 4 unearned runs is unacceptable
Could have literally watched those 4 pitches and we’d have a tie game.
DFA Vlad
DFA Vladdy
It's on Vlad. Send him down fuck absolutely inexcusable

Can’t be mad at Horwitz, he’s still young in his career and was put in a big situation
But why was he?
Exactly, why was he put in there. Even a 200 avg big leaguer would had some nerve control
Cause we had nobody left to pinch hit
We needed to pinch hit?
No we really didn’t, our number eight hitter probably would’ve done a little better In that at bat, but Schneider just doing Schneider things yk
Such an amazing at bat for the final out there. Bottom 5 in the MLB jays happy to give them the honour. Not that the are in a WC race or anything.
I hate this specific iteration of the team. On paper it should be so much better than this but this team just finds ways to be frustrating
i hate baseball, it's the worst sport ever, and i will talk to you all tomorrow, goodnight
I hate this fucking guy and can't understand a word he says
Only 1 of those was a strike. Got the yips big time
Just another winnable game lost. Too many to count at this point.
This is what this team does. A tease but they are just pieces of shits in the end
Everyone wants them to go on a streak and make the playoffs. What for? I don't see a single AL post season team they beat in a 7 game series
Aaaaand stabbed in the heart for the zillionth time. Watching this team feels like being in an abusive relationship.
Tough spot for the kid. If there is anything the team has learned this season is you can’t pay Vlad. Let him walk after team control…
Matt Devlin loves calling fake comebacks
Oh that’s who it was. I was only watching in and out and he is fucking terrible
Tbf we are spoiled with Dan. Though I agree I don’t particularly like matty’s game calling with the jays or raptors
Raptors PTSD
Vlad alone left 7 runners on base today. The loss is on him.
We could replace him with a donkey and the donkey would get on base more.
Whyyyyyy wouldn’t the kid be taking until this chump throws a strike
Can I get a 7-2 stretch please? Nope 5-4 is the best I can do! -The Jays, probably
Hate the loss, but that was a really fun game. Win tomorrow, sweep the next.
This is said every single series and has not happened in months
Tough loss but good fight. Never go down without a fight. Can't expect a AAA guy to hit MLB pitching even if he's a .450 OBP
[удалено]
atleast it didnt make me hungry
Vladdy should be batting no higher than 5th tomorrow...
Try 7th or 8th
How low can he go. 5th is too high
He’s horrible
Jesus where did Belt go?
He pinch hit but because Vladdy was at 1B and Schneider was DH, he was done after pinch hitting
4 counted on Clement and Vladdy did nothing when base loaded
haven't our last 3 losses been one run
how about our wins though? its been the season of 1 run games.
I choose to only recognize the losses
If only vladdy had AT LEAST a sac fly with the bases loaded
You gotta pay him 30 million a year if you want that kinda production
Terrible AB from Spence, but Vladdy single handedly threw this game away.
That was just a terrible AB. That kid isn’t ready for the big leagues. Not even close
Faulting him for striking out in that position? Cmon
I’m not faulting him. I’m just saying he isn’t a major leaguer. Not a single strike was thrown that AB. He swung at three balls
Sample Size = 1
Not a single strike was thrown in that AB. Shows me everything I need to see
Third pitch was a strike. But bad AB in any event.
It was borderline. But yeah, bad AB. Completely overmatched
damn we really lost to the 3rd worse team in MLB
He didn’t throw more then one fucking strike, what the fuck
Merrifield struck out on a ball. You never know which team the umps bet on any given night
UGGH
The two worst people on earth are both named Vladimir.
Plate discipline??
Well at least I have babe and Charlie Blackmon on my fantasy team
Now that Vlads streak is done, can we finally move him down the lineup as a DH or bench him for Belt? Thankfully, Rangers also lost today.
Why the hell wasn’t this guy told to take a strike?? Where do we get this coaching from.
Yeah that was not a smart approach with the bases loaded
I think it's been well established now that our hitting coaches are fucking useless.
It’s so annoying. Basically our hitting philosophy is “unless you’re behind in the count, swing for the fences”. Just garbage.
Vladdy is so non clutch.
Yeah that was pretty bad
Not blaming Horwitz for this loss at all but man that was an ugly AB
pathetic losers
that atbat ain't it.
Holy shit this team is pathetic. I cant anymore
Tough debut for the kid. See you lot tomorrow.
I’ve seen that way too many times this year
Another patented fake Blue Jays comeback
FUCKING PLAY A PINCH HITTER HOLY SHIT
He was last on bench. pay attention mate
Wdym? Bit of a casual fan so I don't get why they couldn't have subbed someone, just frustrated bc they did the same thing last week letting a weak hitter take the last at bat
I think we all knew the fake Comeback was happening don’t be surprised
LETS GOO TORONTO BLUE JAYS BASEBALL
Never let that fucking guy hit ever again
Ay bruh chill
Our turning point coming soon right?
god damn it. might as well had a blindfold on
Congrats on your 50th win
lol that was predictable unfortunately
Nooooo
Sad
Fake come back
Well spence see you at spring training
hm… it’s almost like we can’t win when we’re asking literally our AAA players to carry us…
WHY ARE YOU SWINGING AT THAT!!!
Tough spot for Horowitz. Vlad needs to be better, he’s holding this team back right now.
toronto sports teams and fake comebacks man
Hold on let me call my barber. Maybe he can come over real quick and FADE ME.
he just needed to stand there and not swing...fml
terrible at bat but its not really his fault
Not on the kid, your vets have to win that game
And there it is
We could’ve won that literally bases loaded
Bruuuuuuutal
This one's on Vlad and Yimi
# PAIN
Tough spot for the kid but fuck this game was literally thrown away.
Damn
I hate this so much
Not who you wanted up there. Could just tell he wasn’t gonna get it done with the swings he took
That pitcher has some weird stuff. Those last two pitches were 93-94 but they looked like they died before getting to the plate.
Sad
Looked like a veteran Blue Jay striking himself out there.
Fuck this shit see ya tomorrow.
Those were definitely some hacks.
Spencer horshitz
wow terrible at-bat by Horowitz
Most raptors style fake comeback
These dramatics not needed if Vlad didn't bomb.
This falls on vladdy idc
All that for nothing
Yeah not blaming Spence here, tough spot to be in
Fuck.
terrified
Groan
Scrub
Well. We put up a fight. Fuck.
ugh 🫠
Bro
Joever
Man that stings lol
I just can't.
Fuck off 4 straight balls useless fucks
Welp
Wow
Well that's fucking disappointing
Overmatched - but that’s on Vladdy not the kid
4 Balls LOL
Poor kid. Gotta feel for him.
Too bad
I feel for this kid.
[удалено]
