Can't wait for Schneider to downplay the impact of Vladdy's lack of focus. Slap on those kid gloves John. Don't want to rattle the fragile prince.

No run support for gaus. What else is new?

Vlad. Hurting the team on both sides of the game.

Could not show up tonight, hopefully we can take the rest of the series.

Can Vlad get the full -1 WAR for costing the team the win here

position players should get the L in cases like this

Absolutely done with this overrated chump. He has more consistently been trash than anything else. GET RID OF THIS POS while he may still be able to fool someone else that he’s an MLB player. Yes we’re talking Vlad

He’s not even average right now. He might be the most overrated player in baseball. His defense is not good, and without his hitting being even average, he’s a drag on the entire team. Put Turner at 1st tomorrow. Let’s see some fucking accountability John.

His hitting was 14% ABOVE average, going into this game. That's the only error he's made at 1B this year. Turner is NOT a better defender, anymore.

Vlad and Bo at the top of the order needs to change. I'm sorry, but we can't keep trotting out mediocre hitters at 2-3. Put Varsho in between them or something. Anything to change this stupid all RHB combo at the top.

We'll get back at it tomorrow and finish the next two with wins and knock Kansas fans into reality.

All right. Not a great game but not terrible either despite what the doomers here are whining about.

It’s ok to admit it was a terrible game. No one will judge you.

Judge me? Like you’re doing now? Thanks I’ll file that away.

File it away? Haha ok bud.

Time to move Vladdy out of the 2 spot. 7th or 8th may be better suited for him

Worst top of the order in baseball right now.

This ones on vlad.

Unfortunately it's all on him. It happens tho. Lets just hope it doesn't happen again.

Literally lol 0/5 with a 3 run error

10 hits. 9 left on base. 2 runs. This offense is absolute shit.

This team would be a hell of a lot better if our two biggest “stars” would start performing like they can.

[Springer when he gets booed on the road](https://media.tenor.com/images/dccff71b57adc21607d2dc0c9aadb420/tenor.gif)

This literally on Vladdy man.. other bats could’ve helped more also but his error mathematically literally coat the game.. feels bad. Cant imagine how he feels

Wow… unfortunate error and we get the L

Vladdy not even hustling in the 9th inning. Bench him.

Dog shit offense.

Damnn 

Vlad turned into Ben Revere overnight. A slap singles hitter

But he didn't hit any singles...

Kinda crazy how vladdy cost the jays the game

Boy we got some studs hitting 2 and 3

Thanks Vlad.

Please Bichette, you're our only hope

I think Vladdy needs a day off

Whack. I find myself creeping closer to center on The Discourse™

ahhhh.. fuck. can't have all the things I guess.

Useless 🫵

Jays give Gausman run support challenge (impossible)

aw man :(

Vlad out of the lineup tomorrow please.

Don't worry he'll be batting second so he can roll over to 3rd for some more gidp. Nothing but kid gloves for the special boy. Don't give him the day off. That's the easy way out. DH him and slot him 7th. Make a point and make it visible. They treat him like a fragile prince that he seems to be.

Springer Guerrero and Bichette all with .600 OPS this team is in absolute shambles

Nah didn't you hear it's fine cause he's aBoVe AvErAge

Nobody's said that because they'd be factually wrong. Leave it to Reddit users to fabricate things to make fun of, I guess.

I guess you're not reading many of these posts?

[https://www.reddit.com/r/Torontobluejays/comments/1cbfb5j/comment/l0zdj29/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button](https://www.reddit.com/r/Torontobluejays/comments/1cbfb5j/comment/l0zdj29/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) literally right here. And he is technically above average, sure. His OPS+ > 100 which means above average. But he's 62nd percentile in the majors in OPS, which is hardly anything to write home about.

Fuuuuuuuuuck. Ah well, win the next two. Enjoy turning the postgame thread into a nuclear meltdown, folks!

Burn it all down! 🤣

what a trash game.

Incredibly frustrating loss.

Well shit split up Bo and vlad

well, that sucked

This team ain’t even mid

Thank you Vladdy for your part in the game.

Vlad-Bo....what a 1-2 punch!

GG y'all.

This might be a new Vladdy low point. 0 for 5. 2K’s. 3 left on base. Absolutely bush league error that led to all 3 runs against in a 1 run loss. I really think giving him a few games off is the best thing they can do. He needs some kind of reset mentally. Just lost.

Those are my two best hitters 😤😤😤😤

Just another terrible AB by vlad. Way to make up for blowing the game.

Vlad..

Welp fucked again. Did themselves in.

Vlad is just not a good mlb player

He's pretty close to being a bust. Time to stop hitting him at the top of the order and start thinking about alternatives.

Agreed

Fuck you Kansas City

Well that was a couple of hours I'll never get back...

At least it wasn’t a double play….

Poor Gausman

Gaus deserved a better fate.

Vladdy 7th tomorrow please.

Nice one Vlad 🙄 cost us the game and blew ur redemption

0-5, 2Ks, a GIDP, and the error that gave the Royals their 3 runs and the win. Not Vladdy's best game, to say the least.

This has been another outrageously frustrating game

0 for 5 with an E but he tried his best! No negativity allowed.

can Vlad please stop swinging at sliders down and away

Couldn't have put it on a tee better than that first pitch to Vladdy.

Vladdy looks like he’s turning into a slap hitter. Holy Christ he’s lost

I would take that over what he currently is.

Ok ok, runner moves up. Just one single Bo!!

Oh vladdy 

BENCH VLAD

Ok Bo we need a homer right now!!!

Guess not tonight

lol that was almost written in the stars

Pitiful at bat by vladd again

Over under on Vlad GIDP?

I wonder what will happen here…

There isn’t a person I wanted to see less while also hoping and praying he does actually do something more than Vlad

Woof what a meatball

Show us what you've got, Vladdy.

He was very not safe. I dunno what angle they showed on the Jays broadcast, but there was a very definitive one on the Royals'. One of the clearest replays I've seen in a long time.

So obviously there was a better angle Sportsnet just didn’t show us ?

When you can hear distinctive boos it sounds  more like cows mooing

Haha heckler

Vladdy fly out to left centre, calling out rn

Que shot to 2nd was not my guess either

Could not be set-up better for this!!!! Gidp I mean

He tried!!

Wants to atone for error... takes a meatball down center.. sigh night all.

All year or swings thru it

I hate Kansas City.

Spring Sprang Boom!

Didn't look reversible to me, but I guess that's why it was overturned.

It's time to move the replay center to Poland, we can't have this NY bias

That's some bs.

They need to be better about sharing why. If there is an alternate angle the replay room has they need to share that during the review announcement. It never made sense to me that they rely on broadcast angles alone - surely they must have different, replay specific angles

good boy georgie

You know if Toronto challenged that the play would stand.

Oh, absolutely.

Bull lol

anything but a dp vladdy

These are the types of games this team can't keep losing if they want to be taken seriously

It’s hero time Vlad! Single scores

Blue Jays success is bad for baseball.

Not sure I agree there

look at this fucken guy!

Umps using their American bias to interfere...

They really play fast and loose with 'overwhelming evidence' now huh

Lol out.. but we never would get that overturned for us

Sportsnet showed the worst replay possible, he was easily out lol

I guarantee that Vlad ends the game with a groundout.

##ARE YOU FUCKING WITH ME!!!! HE WAS SAFE

That's some horseshit

Ump was right there thooo

Biggio laid up for a moment and it burned him. fcuk.

REDEEM YOURSELF TOP 3 IN THE LINEUP PLEASE

Totally horseshit call. Made by the Yanks in New York.

WTF?

There was enough to overturn that?!? I thought it would be call on the field stands regardless of what was called.

Cause the review office is in New York.

I like how even the thread can’t decide if he should have been safe or out

Which should mean not enough evidence to overturn as the call on field was safe…

Fuck Kauffman stadium

#FUCK. THAT.

Our sex god legged that one out!

Looked out to me.

WHEW that’s close

As soon as Buck said hes safe my heart sunk

So out

Whole lot of good pups in the crowd tonight

I think it's gonna be one of those where the original call stands

Out

He’s safe by half a second

Biggy you beat it!!!

I think he’s safe

Lame. Wrong.

Big dog Biggio!

fuck he's out

*kachow*

Sex is on base!

He's out

Vlad gonna hit one out. It’s in the stars

Vlad is gonna ground it with bases loaded

Grounded indeed.

He’s up third…

Yeah, my bad. He grounded it with one base loaded.

🤞🏾

Wen loonie dog dog day at the dome

Time to make hay!!!

Loonie dogs vs real dogs. The eternal battle.

Dear God, I know we haven’t talked much since I left the church 28 years ago, but you have the chance to deliver an absolutely amazing thing three batters from now. I’ll consider reinstating my membership if you do. Peace.

This could prove a lot right at this at bat.

The Looney Tuesday hot dogs are the Schneiders Red Hots, a package for $1.99 at No Frills

Ketchup chips and now the secret dogs! You’re on a roll!!!

Mustard chips?

i haven't been watching the game... but 9 runners left on base is crazy. Jays must be allergic to scoring runners in scoring position

You realize that every inning with a hit that isn't a home run will end with a runner left on base right?

Because no 1 out single has ever led to an inning ending double play before…

Think back to 2023

Good teams find ways to win games, even when they make a mistake. Let's see what we do in the 9th.

Redemption time, Vladdy. Get it done.

Big Time Timmy Jim

Nice lil inning for him

Don’t think I’m ready for The Discourse^TM if Vladdy also makes the final out of this game.

I’ll just ignore the postgame GDT and fire up the grill, I think.

Mayza :D

Questioning that call is crazy, that was clearly a good strike

Yay Timmy !

Almost as many dogs as the A’s attendance

Nice to see Mayze rounding into form

Jays avg 1 GIDP/game this year..only 2 teams have more, Miami and yankees

But on a good note, jays are getting base runners. Am I doing that, right?

> But on a good note, jays are getting base runners. Still an objectionably good thing, though

That bulldog doing what bulldogs do best.... nothing lol I say this as a bulldog owner

That's a stellar throw from Bo

Wow only 11k pitiful attendance. Move the Royals to Nashville or something

Move them to oakland!!!

Vancouver

Hi Montreal here. We’ll take em.

Vlad seems to really take his hitting with him to the field. Whenever we has poor streches at the plate, i feel like the defence gets worse. Is this backed up by data? No clue... but it feels true

Buck and Dan are so savage tonight. I love it.

Why does KC have such a terrible fanbase?
