Bo needs to be better than this. He can't be upset at contract talks and then go out and have the season he is having.
Another game they out hit the other team but cant drive in runs when they get on.
Bo and Teo cant stay back to back in the batting order, that can be a total black hole at times. Wild swings, and bad at bats.

Really enjoy all these people who aren't heard from all season showing up to bitch about the team when they've probably didn't bother watching all year.
At least be subtle.

if they wanted to. Mitch White was starting games for the Dodgers and performing well...he can fill in for Yusei **** Kikuchi.
Yup there is zero reason for Kikuchi to be starting games if those other five are healthy

Rocco Baldelli goes ballistic when overturned call helps Blue Jays beat Twins in 10 innings
Umpire Marty Foster called Toronto's Whit Merrifield out on what would have been an inning-ending double play. The call was reversed by replay umpires, who said catcher Gary Sanchez broke baseball's rule about blocking home plate.www.startribune.com
Rocco Baldelli threw his cap, kicked dirt on home plate and screamed at a pair of umpires. But his fury was directed at someone 1,200 miles away.
The normally unflappable Twins manager unloaded his anger at home plate umpire Marty Foster and crew chief Alan Porter after Foster's judgment — that Gary Sanchez had tagged Whit Merrifield out at home plate, ending the 10th inning and keeping the game tied — was overruled in New York by replay umpire Jordan Baker.
His verdict: That Sanchez had violated the rule against blocking home plate, that he had not given Merrifield the required sliding path. Merrifield was ruled safe — scoring the eventual winning run in the Blue Jays' 3-2 victory — Baldelli was ejected, and the Twins grudgingly, bitterly settled for a split of the rowdy four-game series.
"That's beyond embarrassing for our game, for all the players out there," Baldelli fumed in a brief, profanity-laced postgame interview. "It's one of the worst moments I think we've seen of umpiring in any game I've ever been a part of in baseball. It was pathetic, what just played out."
Potentially critical, too. The Twins' two-game AL Central lead over Cleveland was sliced in half by the loss, with a road trip to Los Angeles, where the Dodgers own the best record in baseball, up next on Tuesday.
"It's a game that may have playoff implications at some point. And to have it taken away from us, it's tough," reliever Caleb Thielbar said. "It was pretty righteous, what [Baldelli] did. He was in the right, as far as I'm concerned."

Rocco Baldelli takes the floor to defend his team and his stance on the replay that decided the outcome of the Twins vs. Blue Jays game.
I don’t know what the catcher is supposed to do. Literally it was by the rule, he set up perfectly and moved to catch the ball.

In my opinion, Mitch White can do a better job than Kikuchi.
I mean, he probably can, but it doesn’t mean the team will go in that direction.

We just need to get into the playoffs, then the Kikuchi question goes away. Maybe we put him in the pen as a low leverage left to eat some innings.
I would give him a few more starts. Much more worried about the offence finding it's feet more consistently.
Then this offseason, we see what management thinks.

He didn’t need to move to catch the ball though. He was set up fine initially, then moved to his left to block the lane/plate. Replays show he extended his arm centre-right of his body, blocked with his leg, then swiped to his left to apply the tag. Sanchez knew what he was doing, Merrifield knew what Sanchez was doing, and he did what he could to show that to the review team.

Hayes on Overdrive mocking but loving the Serena Williams quote. "not retiring i'm evolving away from tennis"
Hayes: Kekuchi is evolving the ball away from the field....... lol

Based on what I saw from cameras behind Sanchez, he did exactly what catchers are instructed to do and followed the rule to the T.
Jomboy has a good review and I agree with his assessment.

I think that was trapped, but I don't think there was conclusive evidence that it was trapped. Frustrating review

I don't know if it would matter who is facing the jays on the mound, they just are not hitting well.
