Why is it when there is so much hype about this team, they shit the bed? This is not the same as 2013, but damn this sucks.

Yankees cruising the division early with their easier schedule. Jays have been in a tough stretch but they just need to keep hanging around.
Looking forward to not playing the Yankees for awhile after this.

Back to back walks will always kill you.... especially to a crappy hitter in Trevino

Good thing no one was watching this shitshow of a game. (I just had gamecast going) on the side). Like ive said a lot, I'm usually very supportive of umpires but tossing Garcia is a joke. It makes zero sense to be throwing at him in that situation.
This is coming from someone who has ejected pitchers for throwing at batters, so not to act like i'm better than the average person but I do know all the checkboxes when you have to make that decision. And there aren't very many checked there.

I don't think they were throwing at Bichette. I was fine with that call. Charlie was just sticking up for his guy.

Umpires: "We have to consider a lot of factors in ejecting someone. We could've issued warnings but we felt given the circumstances it was correct to eject Garcia."
Reporter: "What about the fact that it was a tie game in the 6th inning with a man on base and there's an epidemic of pitchers losing their grips on the ball across the league lately."
Umpires: "that was irrelevant. We decided to eject the guy."
Bang-up job, guys.

Some batter's going to get nailed in the head because pitchers can't safely and consistently grip the ball and then MLB's gonna look really stupid and negligent for not getting a handle on this problem sooner.
You know you've screwed up when neither team thought the pitcher should have been tossed.
Also, if you toss Garcia, then you cannot under any circumstances allow the Yankees to hit a Jay. You lose the entire "accidental" argument. Either you let both go (which they should have), or you toss both. Instead, they decided to arbitrarily toss Garcia.
Before yesterday, Umpire Scorecards had the Yankees averaging 0.25 runs per game on umpire impact. That is ridiculous.
While more incorrect calls were in our favor, he ended the 1st with a blown call (the Gurriel K was the worst strike of the game by a country mile), the strike against Vlad in the 2nd was awful (and ended a rally because instead of 3-0, it was 2-1 and Vlad had to swing at a pitch he wouldn't otherwise have swung at), he called strikes 2 and 3 against Chapman in the 4th on balls, and then strike 2 against Heineman was also an awful call.
Of the 4 worst calls, 3 went against Toronto in the first 4 innings.
For the record, the Jays have played poorly for the first month of the season, have had a couple key injuries, have had probably the most compact and objectively difficult schedule of any team in the league... and are currently on pace for 89 wins and sitting in a playoff spot.
Also, for the record, this team won't win in the playoffs (as constructed), because Charlie will choose to play Tapia or Zimmer.
I mean... even as constructed those guys won't play in the playoffs other than as a pinch-runner or defensive replacement.
Because everything is always Montoyo's fault for some people, I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. But in case you aren't... you know there's a difference between a playoff series and trying to keep guys healthy and playing at 100% throughout the season, right?
I don't think Charlie makes the lineup, but the fact remains that we've gone well beyond resting guys for later in the season. We've played 31 games and so far Tapia has 8 less PA than Espinal (who has had 1 day off). That's not resting pace, that's Tapia is an everyday player pace.
The starting RF has missed 22 of those 31 games. Who did you expect those PA to go to?
