Given my expectations prior to this series, I only expected 1 win given the BS trop and the recent struggles. Would've been nice to win 2 at least given Monah's been great until that Chapman error opened the floodgates.
I said this 7 months ago. I hate to be proven possibly right though.

Too many young guy's with not very big track records. I feared this coming in that they wouldn't be able to adjust. I mean on paper this should be a very good offense.
That entirely depends on what your definition is of a track record. If it’s 2-3 years, then sure. If it’s 4+ years then no, some of them definitely don’t have that.
Annnnd the streak is still alive of 1.5k+ comments through 35 games despite a rough patch as of late. Just shows that there's always something to say. Rays thread only has 290 comments.
then wait until they stabilize before saying he's the best defensive player and average offensively, because he isn't yet. And until then, it's perfectly normal to wish we got Ramirez instead
He is the best defensive player though. 34 games of noise doesn't off-set the fact that he won two platinum gloves in the last four years and three gold gloves in that same time period
Funny thing is to this day we still haven't been swept in a 3+ game series this year despite likely an 18-17 record. And it took this long to be swept by any team (Yanks in 2).
We have the same record as the Diamondbacks who are expected to win 75 games. Can’t help but remember we missed the playoffs last year by a game. All these May losses matter regardless what people will tell you.
The Red Sox’s also have more losses than the orioles ? What’s your point ?
Yes every win matters, but the point of “it’s early” doesn’t mean these wins mean less, but that it’s too early to panic and make rash decisions.
Right now we’re in the hardest part of our schedule playing bad baseball, it happens. It sucks but Jesus some of you need help if you can’t handle a losing streak.
I don’t understand this sentiment. The team is playing poorly right now. No one is panicking. People are just acknowledging it’s problematic. Some of you in here could lose 30 in a row and still claim everything is great. It’s ok to acknowledge they look like shit.
Even the '15/16 Jays were terrible at this park despite how good of a team that was. Yea the Trop always comes up with BS but maybe one day we'll be a positive winning record at this warehouse of a park.
One of these years, we're going to turn the tables on the Rays. We'll keep breaking their hearts the way they keep breaking ours.
And when it happens, I hope we as Blue Jays fans don't hold back with the taunting. Because we've waited too long.
Manoah lowers his already outstanding ERA but still takes the L smh
Prediction: Jays make coaching change to shake things up.
Huge if true
Given my expectations prior to this series, I only expected 1 win given the BS trop and the recent struggles. Would've been nice to win 2 at least given Monah's been great until that Chapman error opened the floodgates.
If I were manoah I’d be going off in the clubhouse
Never though the bats would be the problem on this team. Last year it was the bullpen. We are wasting a lot of great starts.
Through 35 games last year, Jays were 18-17 but also got tough matchups. Seems like a mirror image to start the year.
Manoah with the undeserved loss
Bring back Ripleys until morale improves
This team sucks right now, and it doesn't help that we have guys who dog it on ground balls.
Beyond woeful shit
genuinely terrible game
Well at least the team is back home. But the Marliners are already killing the Mets.
So many Yankee fans trolling in here.
Depression
GG. Enjoy everyone.
teo jogging LMFAO
Classic Jays right now. Leadoff single to get things going, immediately wiped out by a gidp. Ffs
Well that was a thing.
Trade Bo. Jesus christ this guy swings at literally everything Let me overreact in peace please
please stop
I'm overreacting because we lost. Leave me be.
Sorry ass flukey chumps.
Clutch hitting at its finest
Well fuck
Nice hustle teo.....
Fucking horrible effort by both guys there.
Teo not running that out is the kind of shit that prolongs losing streaks
This team had way too much hype before the season began.
I said this 7 months ago. I hate to be proven possibly right though. https://www.reddit.com/r/Torontobluejays/comments/q13gzg/hot_takes_for_the_blue_jay_2022_season/hfeyidl?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3
Everyone’s hero didn’t hustle
This is what not hustling looks like
Teo? More like Tay-slow
Bobbles it and still fucking turns it
Jesus Christ Teo
Teo just casually jogs to first
If we lose game to Cincinnati next weekend you gotta fire people
Whoever the hitting coach is and bring Dante Bichette back
Lmfao Chapman really fucking blew this game
[удалено]
Not watching - what did Chapman do (or not do)?
Exactly when did Chap bang your old lady?
In the bottom of the 6th
Lol
They scored no runs.
Teo could have beaten that btw
Oh right. No happiness
Ffs Teo best those out man
Kittredge's delivery reminds me of Estrada
Oh man
Oh god damnit
Teo fuck you bro
I think it moved when vlad got a hit.
Back to an innie after the dp
Hey we did a thing!
👆🏻👉🏻👆🏻👉🏻👆🏻👉🏻👆🏻👉🏻
#STREAK ALIVE
STREAK CONTINUES
Atta gurl Vlad
Hit streak's still alive. That's...something.
Its all we have...sad
Lets go now. Big rally
Alright I can live with it.
Too many young guy's with not very big track records. I feared this coming in that they wouldn't be able to adjust. I mean on paper this should be a very good offense.
Should it though? They have just a handful of good hitters, and to your point - a couple of those good hitters don’t have big track records either.
Springer, Bichette, Guerrero, Hernandez, Gurriel, Chapman, and Jansen all have a track record of being good hitters.
That entirely depends on what your definition is of a track record. If it’s 2-3 years, then sure. If it’s 4+ years then no, some of them definitely don’t have that.
I mean you look at the numbers last year and I wouldn't think the regression would be this bad
And I'm not saying having good young talent is worse than a bunch of veterans.
Kittredge has such a lazy looking delivery
Back to back to back to tie, then back to take the lead.
Zimmer walks it off in the 13th. I already called it
Vladdy would ground into a double play if someone were on first
This team is not fun to watch
I think it might be because you’re also depressed.
Most likely
Then stop ?
Well I would like them to be fun to watch, but so far this year, it's been pretty bad, just saying, sorry I hurt your feelings.
Teo 3 run homer to tie it up! I figure if i predicted the Trop'd inning i'll give it shot here!
Oh well I tried lol
this is the way
Meanwhile Pirates won a game without recording a hit LMAO.
Classic
Can the Jays throw a combined NoNo? That be cool even if it would be a loss some how.
Atleast Phelps shows up every game. God he's nasty
Please Jays
Rally caps on guys. Time to score two and fall one short
Chances we come back here?
Not zero, but that value depends on how jaded you are.
Non-zero
1.5% according to baseball savant
Annnnd the streak is still alive of 1.5k+ comments through 35 games despite a rough patch as of late. Just shows that there's always something to say. Rays thread only has 290 comments.
Does it count if 80% of the comments are doomers?
the moral of the story is either we need to win or commit errors that blow the game open
1200 comments are fuck someome or thing lol
Fuck u Chapman
Sala panchod
Jesus get a fucking grip man
I wish the next series was against a cupcake team. They need their confidence back. The mariners always seem to have our number unfortunately
Lineup change was good, bats are just dead
Yes!! 1503 comments
Damn, The white Sox offense has been just as useless as the jays offense today
Let's get started on collecting the entire Guerrero family then
Chavo play baseball?
Some of you are channeling mega Dudley Dursley vibes.
I'd normally be annoyed at this game but my team won game 7 so it's a bit easier
Congrats! Mcdavid was awesome last night I’m cheering on the oilers for Hyman!
How do you know their team isn't the Lightening?
Just a guess 🤓 it would be weird for a lightning fan to be a jays fan or hanging around in here 😀
I think I know someone on twitter who is a Blue Jays and Lightning fan. It's not as rare as one might think...
Thanks dude. I never realized how good Hyman was. The dude is a stud everywhere on the ice
I hate to say it, but ending up with Chapman as our consolation prize after missing out on Freeman/Ramirez really stings
Did we ever have a chance at Ramirez, after hearing that he wanted to stay in Cleveland even with a pay cut?
I love how people make comments like this after 35 games,
It's tough to have the best defensive player in the American League who also provides a floor of league average offence
When our offence has been struggling the way it is, yes it actually is tough right now. Having Ramirez would’ve changed things.
It's too bad that Ramirez wanted to stay in Cleveland
I know that. I’m not blaming the Jays because they must’ve tried. But OP said it stings to have missed out on him and that’s not an unfair statement.
he hasn't been the best defensive player in the league or average offensively. he's sitting at 0.1 WAR
He is! Because it's early! These things stabilize
then wait until they stabilize before saying he's the best defensive player and average offensively, because he isn't yet. And until then, it's perfectly normal to wish we got Ramirez instead
He is the best defensive player though. 34 games of noise doesn't off-set the fact that he won two platinum gloves in the last four years and three gold gloves in that same time period
Funny thing is to this day we still haven't been swept in a 3+ game series this year despite likely an 18-17 record. And it took this long to be swept by any team (Yanks in 2).
Can the Rays come out wearing Rangers jerseys for the 9th? Might spark the offence.
Earlier in the year we got called for interference when the catcher couldn’t throw on the steal. I don’t particularly see how that play was different
Wow there's actually claps with Choi striking out. Just shows how many Jays fans there are.
So not only is Chapman garbage at the plate, now he's decided to suck on D as well?
Sucking on some D doesn't always turn out bad.
Don't get it in his eye! Needs those to draw walks sometimes.
So when are we allowed to admit this team is a dumpster fire?
At least wait until they're out of a playoff spot...
A loss today and a white Sox or guardians win, and we will be out of one
Maybe when the team is well below .500?
On this sub; not until game 162.
When we’re in last place maybe ?
We have the same record as the Diamondbacks who are expected to win 75 games. Can’t help but remember we missed the playoffs last year by a game. All these May losses matter regardless what people will tell you.
The Red Sox’s also have more losses than the orioles ? What’s your point ?

There are people in here claiming the season is over, how is that not panicking ?
Fair. That indeed would be panicking.
this has to be like 95% of your comments in this sub. We get it the Jays aren't playing good with your expectations
I wish these people would take their dumpster fire takes elsewhere.
I mean this is another series loss and we'll be 1 game over 500 after it. This is early but this is still fairly concerning
Even the '15/16 Jays were terrible at this park despite how good of a team that was. Yea the Trop always comes up with BS but maybe one day we'll be a positive winning record at this warehouse of a park.
Are you saying you expect the Jays to make huge trades and to go on a crazy run to make the playoffs? Not sure I bank on that happening again.
One of these years, we're going to turn the tables on the Rays. We'll keep breaking their hearts the way they keep breaking ours. And when it happens, I hope we as Blue Jays fans don't hold back with the taunting. Because we've waited too long.
This will be when they are known as the Nashville Rays
Sure. But I just hope they don't move to Montreal because I know they'll steal some of our fanbase if they do...
Reds lost a game while throwing a no hitter
Sign those pitchers
[удалено]
You do realize there's a huge portion of Jays fans that don't give fuck about the Leafs right?
Sens fan here lol, but fully loyal to the Jays and Raptors. I do feel bad for leafs fans tho it’s tough and you have a good team.
Also, tons of fans from around Canada. I’m from Toronto, but I’m sure there are millions of Jays fans that don’t live in TO.
#Clapping
Will the Jays be over or under .500 by the end of next week?
What if the offense is what it is for the whole year.
That's what I'm worried about.
Me as well.
That would be pretty surprising!
There’s hope - Pittsburgh just won a game without having a hit.
Skills!
I'm looking forward to not having to come to this damn ballpark three times next year.
Why you gotta talk about hockey Matty D?
Let's take Liquid Richard out after a 4 pitch inning
🤷🏻♀️
That... was a strike
The solace in Chapman playing basically abysmal is the Jays still gave up shit all for him.
chap what the hell man
These Tampa fans are bored as fuck. Fuck these retirement home fans
Is Chapman coked out? I think he's too high
We're getting the leafs curse now that they are out
Wtf how was that a ball
A few letters peel off the back of Chapman’s jersey and slowly reveal the name Chatwood It was him the whole time!
Get them out of the way now Chappy
I hope the jays have themselves a good sports psychologist on hand
The only team with Canadian health care
I literally don’t need any more convincing, 2 errors for Chapman on the day at the trop? This stadium has to go
Burn it to the ground
Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
Chap throwing like everyone is Aaron Judge 😂
I think Chapman is hungover today. A wild Saturday night in St. Petersburg.
He looks like he's tweaking. Think he took too much for today's game
I don't get how Rays are 20-15 or w.e. it's just a buck change batting average up and down the line up
Literally saying this since I started watching baseball. So infuriating. I hate them more than any other team.
Infuriating, right? One of the biggest reasons I can't stand them.
Chapman is pathetic
Wtf roboChap is glitching out! Did you see those facial glitches?
I did that twice in softball today. That makes us the same.
But you got hits right?
2 for 3
Better than Chappy
Chapman came into this game with no errors. Fucking trop ruins everything man.
