I was doing something else during the pregame but I think I heard, the Jays hitters are trying to get good pitches to hit hard. Hague is having more influence on the hitters I think. Hopefully, they give Mattingly and Martinez the boot.

It only took them like, 18 months to realize that maaaaybe you should be trying to hammer those middle-middle fastballs pitchers were just arrogantly peppering them with, but hey better late then never.

It should have been a major red flag when Mattingly said "we're not gonna be a homer team last year".
You HAVE to be in the AL East.
I’ll be shocked if he isn’t in the rotation next year.
Already in this broadcast another Hague mention while Mattingly and Martinez might as well be in Siberia for all the attention they’re given.
I still maintain the worst thing management has done is hire Mattingly. The bats died a lot after he came here and his philosophy isn’t current with modern baseball. When he claims Jays aren’t a power team and damage is dangerous word, I’m still puzzled why he’s here.
I haven’t seen him on the bench in weeks.

Is he actually still in the dugout during games? I seriously don’t know.
He and Schneider were constantly next to each other last season and that certainly doesn’t appear to be the case now.
The last anything in the media I can see from Mattingly is an interview with Hazel Mae in May 4.
The way he’s just totally disappeared while at the same time Hague is all kinds of front-and-centre is just weird.
Like, I can’t remember the last time that Mattingly was seen or mentioned on a broadcast.
Edit : just now when Schneider walked out of the dugout for the pitching change you could see Pete Walker next to him and Demarlo Hale behind him and no sign whatsoever of Mattingly.

This is why Rodriguez is such a wildcard... spotted 6 runs and can't get through 5.

This crowd is so soft. If this was NY/Boston/Chicago the team would be getting pelted with garbage after this sort of performance in this sort of season.
Not that that’s ideal either, but there’s a reason management in Toronto can get away with a lack of ambition.

They lost a game and got good performances from some key members of the 2025 roster. That's... pretty much what we should be looking for at this point, isn't it?
Rodriguez not being able to hold it together was really the only disappointing part of that game.

The bullpen is shit. They pretty much need a whole set of new pitchers down there in 2025. Who is worth keeping anyway from the active bullpen roster? Green, and Cabrera?
I think Burr would be worth bringing back. The ERA isn't good, but all the peripherals are - he's kinda been the opposite of Cabrera.
Obviously it's hard to say what Romano can be going forward, but he and Green are locks for 2026.
Burr and Cabrera might be ok as secondary pieces.
Pretty much everything else needs to be rebuilt.
