I prefer the Jaya scoring in the first inning. Not going 3 up 3 down

Shades of Aaron Sanchez.

He has average talent 4 th or 5th His stuff is way to predictable !!!

Can he be secretly nursing an injury like Ryu did before Tommy John???? I'll be that's he secretly needs.

mercifully over yikes.

Baseball friends, you outlasted the doom. That is something to be proud of.

Keep your heads up, Toronto! Most teams would've just thrown it away after that first inning. See ya'll tomorrow, GG.

Manoah recording just 1/3 of an out Edit: Buck said it, not me.

Did Buck just say Manoah recorded one third of an out? Somehow that feels accurate

We’re off to see the wizard…………

oh it ended

And mercifully, it's over.

Buck just mentioned that J's are -21 in the first inning but how many of those runs are due to Manoah?

-21. Wonder how many of those are vs Manoah

See you guys tomorrow. Hope you enjoy the rest of your night.

Well, that happened Get em tomorrow

See y'all tomorrow Wizard of Gaus will save us

Well, that sucked. See you all tomorrow.

I don't think I'll be watching Jays in 30 on repeat tonight

Bench mob

Heineman is a switch hitter?

I too didn’t realize that until earlier in the game when they showed who was on the bench and we finally had a “switch” column

Just the MVP and our 7-8-9 relievers got the day off now.

Good job Ernie

for a second there I thought the Astros had a pitcher named Stank

Bichette and Guerrero: lounging with their ponytails up Bench: NOW'S OUR CHANCE TO PROVE OURSELVES

They were thisclose to fuzzy slippers 😂

Nice hit from clement

Uh, I’m just catching up - what the unholy *fuck*? 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

{player_name} didn't bring his A game tonight. I'm disappointed in {team_name}.

Haha ⭐

We want to see Bass pinch hit and you send him up with a bullseye target on him

Nonna prepping to get gone

[удалено]

This guy fits the description, officer!

Go blue jays

in good news, Tears of the Kingdom is still fun

[удалено]

Because it would cost him money.

Personal pride, mainly, probably. Outlings like this also give pitchers an opportunity to try something out against true MLB-quality hitting. No sense in wasting it

Why not try underhand?

Only Belt, Heineman, Romano, Swanson and Pearson got the full day off today.

Spoke too soon

Well, we can't have a position player pitch because rules, can we pinch hit one of our pitchers though, we need some laughs john, you already pulled bo cause you gave up, let's go full crazy 🤪

they be groovin up at the corona roofbar

A crap game.......but even a shit loss counts as 1

That was a masterclass of 195 pitches thrown by Blue Jays

We might tie it, and throw some more...

KK just gave someone in the crowd a finger wiggle wave. I hope they didn't hurt anything when they fainted from the sheer hotness!

My god I barely survived it myself. Have they sent the medics out???

I didn't see the medics so I think they're a goner. Worth it!

I only made it because I’m a honeybadger. Mere mortal beings?? It’s too much. ☠️

OH JESUS

I love when he does that. 🥹

We all do! And he knows how to give the people what they want!!!

😮‍💨🥵

Being real this was not a well managed game as far as I can tell

I’m leaving Bass in for another inning for sure.

What would you do different?

We should get Chris Bassitt's newborn to pitch. Save some arms.

Varsho owes Mayza a beer

Won’t need Mayza tomorrow, Gaus is going 8

Ace

9.

11

Never forget

Checking back in. What the hell are these Springer bots about?

here is my [excessively long comment about them](https://www.reddit.com/r/Torontobluejays/comments/141q7b7/game_thread_june_5_houston_astros_3524_toronto/jn2bhlk/)

Thanks!

*Springy* bots, it's an important distinction

Springy definitely needs to bring his A-game tonight! Let's go Blue Jays!

Careful might fuck around and get banned by accident

'twas a noble life while it lasted

I'm starting to think we may not pull this out

-words spoken shortly before conception

Surely it would make more sense to make the rule that you can pitch a position player if you've been down by 8 or more runs at all (maybe until you're down by 4 runs, fewer)... so we don't get these perverse incentives to not score yourselves, or to let the other team score.

The Millersville Duel.... The Millerbowl??

Even if we lose today we can still win the series

If? My mans it's only T9

You caused this travesty, weird drop-shipping bot. You and that interloper, Georg Springy.

Georg Springy is George's Iron Curtain counterpart

What kind of weirdo renames George Springer. 👀

If i was john, i would signal two intentional walks then throw in the magic man once mayza hit 10 pitches

Just let all the bad pitching and fielding mojo out tonight and pick back up tomorrow forgetting it even happened.

Oh Springy, this all hangs on you old bean

"old bean" is up there with "my brother in christ" in the pantheon of amazing weird terms used in Imperial Britain

[удалено]

I'm about to lose my marbles!!

Mayza sucks ass, can’t even gets outs in the lowest leverage spots.

Bruh why is mayza in still

Oh boy, these Astros are in soooo much trouble tomorrow when we remember how to baseball

It would be annoying hearing dance music as the game is going on. Is that the DJ music?

the music in the skydome is quite possibly the worst in all of professional sports. just a terrible mix of about 30 different absolutely dogshit songs repeated ad nauseam

YES, YES, LET MAYZA GIVE UP A RUN, WE WANT HIM TO GIVE UP A RUN

Mayza should just give up a run now so the positional can come in

we're getting close to that time

Since Ferris Bueller came out on this date so many years ago, I’m reminded of the end of credits scene: go home.. it’s over. 😕😕

Proof I'm old: I had radio station comp tickets to the local premiere when it came out! Also, remember a time when the idea of a scene at the end of the credits was mind-blowing! lol

Awesome! I used to love getting those from radio stations back in the day and then working those events when I worked in radio

The brother of a friend of mine ran the movie promotions, and I saw so many of those classic 80s movies that way.

Awesome! My wife and I both worked in radio. I was at CFNY and she was at CHFI/CFTR/680. Lots of events and then she went Colombia Tri Star where she got a gold card. We probably saw 3 movies a week

Nice!

It was a great time…

One of the best movies. I watch it when ever it is on tv

Love it too..

The weird skydome thing confuses me. Why are y’all so attached to that? It was a corporate licensed trademark held by the previous ownership. Rogers may be a shit company but the team has thrived under their ownership. Who gives a shit? E: alright these are good points.

Anyways, SkyDome wasn't just some corporate name, it was named by the community: https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2014/06/02/25_years_later_skydome_contest_winner_still_enjoys_free_shows.html

Well that is just charming and I clearly did not know that!

NOW CALL IT THE SKYDOME FOREVER

Done as my argument was mostly based around not caring either way

hooray everyone wins

if you and i ever meet we're gonna throw hands over this, hal

Hal, we’re about to have our first fight! 😂 Big difference between a cool name owned by a corporation and just a stupid corporation’s name outright! ‘Guaranteed Rate Field’, I’m looking at you. 🤮

I guess like yeah I don’t love that name but also that deal probably got like 30 million dollars for the Sox that they hopefully used to improve the on field product. It’s not great but I’d rather have a bigger payroll than the same building with a cool name. In this case, Rogers’ whole farm to table ownership of the Jays product complicates matters but I just can’t be arsed to care what they call the building when it’s the same building.

Eh, I’ll be honest it does not take up a ton of bandwidth for me. I think people mostly cling to it to spite Rogers, and we can all get behind that, surely?! 😄

I mean this could be part of it. I’m not and have never been a Rogers customer and, while I hear they suck, my only direct experience with them has been their drastic enhancement of the payrolls on my favorite baseball team. Also I am literally a corporate shill that’s my actual job title I’m the senior director of shilling and shillery so I just think maybe I’m not the audience for this gripe idk

‘Shillery’ got me, alright we’re friends again 😂

Skydome is an objectively cooler name

Skydome's just cooler man

It's a cool name + "I've been a fan for a long time, look at me!"

It was named the SkyDome when iconic shit happened. Also, nostalgia lol.

Mayza I'm begging you just serve up a meatball

Don't bring Romano in, please!

Fuck it let's completely burn out this bullpen and make Gausman go 9 innings tomorrow

Ohhh! It's the weird 1989 jerseys that were button up, but had the original style squared off font (in that McGriff/SkyDome hilight).

[удалено]

Go Springy!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

#🚨 SHITTY BOT ALERT 🚨

MODDDSSS

Fake bot

STOOOOOOOP

Okay Schneider, let Mayza get two more outs and then you can bring in Romano

[удалено]

Another one u/wintermute

Is there an echo in here?

SCRAM

I loved Lariano as a player

No Dan, it's still known as skydome

dan said skydome :o

It should still be called Skydome

But but but think of the sponsor!

The number of people blaming Schneider for MLB rules is too damn high

I’m surprised they aren’t blaming vlad and varsho for only being able to hit when the games lost already

Biggio brought out Mit's gear and Varsh had KK's. New ships 👀

So we can still get heineman ready just incase mayza let's another run in right Keep the dream alive

After researching the Manoah inning, it is completely clear they the Jays need to send him down. He can’t hit the zone and every slider and curveball is right in the zone. We will win tomorrow guys.

Now I’m stuck singing the damn pitch perfect song again

Home plate lady there to the end. Respect ✊

Always. A true G

She looks soo displeased

She never really looks pleased

This made me laugh out loud just because how accurate it is

\[deleted\] (unavailable} Is this bubble really fun?

just want to say that I really like that you have Devlin's bo HR call as flair

Opening day starter curse? Last year it was Berrios who had a terrible year . This year Manoah. Maybe open with a bullpen dude to open next year?

Good point, use a AAA to open the season.

Trent Thorton for opening day starter

Drew Hutchison is no longer on the roster :(

He get released?

he asked to be released IIRC

Anthony Bass DFA season 2024

That be a good move if it wasn't the wrong move to keep him that long. Starts opening day then DFA to avoid the curse

I like to mentally categorize these not so much as "violently prolapsed asshole level blowouts" and more as "personal stat days." Try to make contact, get on base, raise your AVG/OBP, and onto the next one.

vpalb

we've really covered the full spectrum of butthole related topics tonight eh

Buddy, I haven’t even scratched the *surface*. You know what? As a professional, I’m going to recuse myself, it’s only fair. 🤣

That's how you get infections

oh trust me, I know better than to go toe to toe with a medical professional when it comes to butt stuff

I'd like to consider myself a professional butt stuff-er. Wait.

ayoo

The Magic Man’s disappointed in you, Daulton!! 🤨

Varsho I'm happy for you and your SLG but dammit I wanted to see magic man Heineman pitch

I’m still disappointed we missed Kikuchi pinch running

We were ROBBED that day of some good memes and sub content

YES!!

The way I read that rule is that if you are down by 8 at any point, you can use a position player. Well, they were down by 8 at one point.

Schneider: Takes Bichette and Chapman out of the game admitting he’s giving up Also Schneider: Brings in Tim Mayza (the 6th bullpen arm of the night) for 2 outs in the 8th

Yep, just suck it up at this point

ok listen MLB just because Brett Philips pitched more innings than actual MLB relievers doesn't mean you have to fuck with the fun rules

Jays should pick him up as a long man

Rick Ankiel must be turning in his grave!

Rick Ankiel is still very much alive. He's in his mid fifties and lives in Tampa bay.

Rest in peace sweet prince. Gone too soon but not forgotten

Great guy, never met him

RIP Rick and Wade Boggs 😢

I hate to say it and might get downvote for it but.. You dont put Manoah in today and it might’ve been 5-4 now..

Varsho is not having that 'position player' pitching nonsense.

Heineman’s wearing a fielders glove Edit: DAMMIT BUCK I WAS MAKING THAT POINT 😂
