OT: Off Topic XXI - It's the End of the World As We Know It (and I feel fine)

[Figgy44]

You will have to get at me marching in the streets with no mask on.

I was wondering if you ran around with this thing on, whether there would be a little bit of confusion if you told people you're not wearing a mask.

If we have to start wearing these, I’m just gonna disappear forever.

I think we should try and get Gray from Colorado too, because we need rotation help, basically a 3 man rotation is not going to be sustainable.

Gray would be a good target. I was confused at why Walker was not brought back. I really liked Matz at the start, but he’s struggled a bit of late.

I know you're a big Matz fan, lol. But his last start wasn't so bad, even when bad he's still been better than he was with the Mets. I wish we'd kept Taijuan as well, he was a gamer for us after picking him up, and I think he wanted to stay.

I can imagine us having that conversation now...

Vladimir GODrerro 440 foot HR with a 20mph wind blowing in to LF.

 

[Lunatik]

Semien is the best Marcus S. the Jays have ever had, I hope he get re-signed to an extension.

 

[Lunatik]

Semien has a double, triple and home run so far tonight and it's only the 5th

Jays finding ways to lose all of a sudden. Vlad has been insane.

I think the injuries to the rotation and bullpen are catching up to them. They need to trade for a starter ASAP

While true, going to the twelfth inning at home is an offensive indictment, not a pitching issue.

I'd argue giving up 9 runs all runs scoring on home runs is absolutely an indictment of pitching.

Also was not a fan of then having Espinal bunt in extras when the corners were way in, especially with 2 strikes.

Yeah, true, but while a road team needs to somewhat play for two runs in extra innings, the home team should be able to get the runner home when that is all they need. Missing one chance is acceptable. Missing twice is less so IMO.

Wasting leadoff doubles always grinds my gears though.

Yeah it sucks, but that game never should have hit extras. Just like Dolis should have never been in a position to blow a save last night.

I believe the Jays have the option to extend him next season. He’s also been a huge stud this season.

 

[Lunatik]

Huh, Lourdy at 1B and Vladdy DHing again

 

[Lunatik]

Randall!!!!!! Huge HR to give the Jays the lead in the bottom of the 8th

 

[Lunatik]

@Anglesmith should I just make a Jays/MLB thread like I used to do?

Only if we don't walk in the tying run.

Look what you did

If you didn't see it coming, you haven't been watching this losing streak.

 

[Lunatik]

This is where I hate analytics, Romano should be out there not Bergen. Don't get cute, get your best arm on the mound.

I saw it coming, but it's like saying shutout

 

[Anglesmith]

Fair. The way I'd characterize this streak is that basically it doesn't matter what happens for 8 innings. They're going to find a way to turn it into a loss.

For what it's worth, they did put their best arm on the mound for the save... and he went full potato.

 

[Lunatik]

Bergen walks 3 in a row and you keep him in the f***ing game? What the f*** is Montoyo doing
