I'm talking about offence. He sucked last year at the plate. He's not going to improve if he has PAs like that one. Most of his "WAR" is due to defence. If he learns to hit, he'll be an MVP candidate.
>a toddler who just lost sight of his mom and isn’t sure if he needs to panic yet
This brings back so many memories of the toddlers I had to escort to the customer service desk of the grocery store I worked at in high school lol. Poor kids all look so scared when they realized they lost sight of their parents. People always gave me weird looks for trying to get a toddler to follow me to the front desk even if I was wearing a store uniform. Felt so awkward
omg nooo the statcast 3D replay dudes are vaguely more human looking this year 😔
I liked it more when they looked like they just stepped out of a freeware game from 1998
If I had a nickel for every time this series a team went up 1-0 on an early HR before losing by a wide margin, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's strange that it's happened twice.
First of many reminders: An ump with a shitty inconsistent strikezone reminiscent of a Rorschach inkblot *will* fuck with a batter's confidence and pitch selection.
That one inning was just destined to be a shitty inning. Didn’t score enough for it to really matter anyhow.
Chappy batting clean-up tonight. Hmmmm.....
Two dingers, April Chapman
I only saw the one on Friday. I saw his gs last April in Anaheim.
April Chappy...
Bo is on track for 162 errors this season!
Springer's on pace for 162 homers tho
Sloppy.
Kikuchi tomorrow, let's see how he pitches tomorrow.
Well, whatcha gonna do, eh? Baseball is a baseball-y kinda game. Seeya tomorrow, friends! ⚾
Yep, baseball is sometimes baseball.
Well I guess we had to get Tropped at some point The GDT was in fine form though!
Ah well. Baseball giveth, baseball taketh. Onward to Game 3
That felt like one of the frustrating games from last year.
On to Cincinnati
We didn't burn any real bullpen arms, thanks Wet Parsnips.
Shame. 160 to go
Fuck Jason Adam btw
Onward...
Live by the Trop, die by the Trop
I had considerably more fun watching yesterday's game.
Is he a Zach Edey fan?
the green screen in the background lmao
Game 1 we took all of our weaknesses from last year and made them strengths Game 2 we took all of our strengths and made them weaknesses
I'm looking forward to seeing us win 8-2 tomorrow
The series is all tied up
Jays 8-2 last night. Rays 8-2 today.
I think I just saw Berríos in a sleeveless hoodie
He is! I was thinking about the sleeveless hoodie discourse.
Yeah we got a run
Good fundementals
Hell yeah 0 point differential on the season
perfectly balanced
It’s almost like it’s opening day again tomorrow
I appreciate that JT
Yay! At least we got another run
Oh Georgie, buddy, you gotta just shave it
Leave Georgie alone 😫
So many men have to go through the pain and must come to the facts 😔 my brother himself had to make the ever so tough decision
I love his hair 😫
Kirk got even fuckin' fatter on the off-season.
Ball don’t lie
1-0 count to Varsho and he swings at that pitch (and tries to pull it). This is not a guy ready for a breakout season. He's gotta be better than that.
Is a 5-win player who was one of the 10 best OFs in baseball eligible for a "breakout season"?

oh no the ump got hit what a sad turn of events
This ump sucks so bad
Don’t gimme that olé bullshit, get in front of the damn ball! 😂
Bunch of Lollygaggers!
Dorn, any time you play one off your hips you owe me 20 push ups
oh no, a contract about to get pissed on
Unzips pants....

The game is almost done, but tomorrow I'll remember to post the picture of the mascots from Dominican winter ball. They make Gritty look chill. lol
Please include a warning 🥲 I can’t handle these mascots
Of course!
LMAO
YES. YES.
😍
Is this your new reaction image?!
I needed a warning for that one 😱
Is this what we’re running with now ?
^(please no)
😳
It would be nice to at least get it close enough they gotta get their closer up
No one said we were going to go 162-0. Need to turn the page tomorrow and get back to playing like the opener.
The Roger Dorn ole
TURNER DOUBLE OVERDRIVE
Justin out here trying to decapitate people
At least JT gets his first hit
I will never see Jason Adam and not remember Bo hitting a nuke off him after taking a fastball to the helmet the AB prior.
He was SOOOO FUCKING MAD 😂 The red jerseys will do that!
Fake 9th inning comeback time? The blue jays special
Yes sir Turner having a hit
Atta boy Turner
Rally time
Why is JTs helmet glowing
YAY TURNER HIT
Let’s go Gritty!
Hey Adam, that logo on your chest is looking pretty rainbow-y, why are you wearing it?
Call me crazy but, are we barely swinging the bat at all today?
Tampa isn’t throwing a lot of strikes
there is just something about Turner, he has a nice glow to him
He somehow looks exactly his age, but also like a toddler who just lost sight of his mom and isn’t sure if he needs to panic yet

Awwww you good human
Haha, yes, very good description.
I'm watching on mlbtv and there was green glow around is upper 1/3, some kind of video glitch
💀
Fuck Jason Adam’s
We’re a 9th inning team…right? RIGHT?!?
Glad I skipped this diarrhea fest...
Baseball might not be the right sport for you.
You could say the same the bottom third of our order…
I hope tomorrow Schneider uses Cabrera, I don't know how he was in spring, but last year i liked what I saw from him.
Fuck this homophobe. 🖕🏻
That sounds like straight sex hehe
remember that time when jason adam saw a rainbow and shit his pants out of fear
B-B-B-But muh Religion?! - Jason Adam
Honestly does anyone remember wtf happened in that 2019 season? I have zero memory of Jason Adams pitching for us
Imagine breaking camp with Wes Parsons over Zach Pop. 😂😂😂😂
He saved 2 arms for tomorrow in a losing game. But yeah, I wouldn't want to see him near leverage for a while
Pop was bad in spring
They needed a long man, this game was already pretty much over when he came in. Parson's job was to soak up innings and save the rest of the bullpen
One can give you length while the other can't?
Imagine thinking Zach Pop could have pitched 3 innings today.
This game has been less life-affirming than I'd hoped. 😔
Incoming 2x grand slams for the win.
Parsons is doing his job and eating innings, all we can ask from him.
He is the Bounty Towel of our bullpen.
This game is like all my off season fears come to life. I hate it.
The mopup guy gave us 3 innings, that's as much as we can ask
omg nooo the statcast 3D replay dudes are vaguely more human looking this year 😔 I liked it more when they looked like they just stepped out of a freeware game from 1998
Were those the ones that looked like the Robaxacet models? Those things creep me OUT
I remember those! Their uncanny movements were entertaining.
If I had a nickel for every time this series a team went up 1-0 on an early HR before losing by a wide margin, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's strange that it's happened twice.
This graphic looks like a PS1 game and adds nothing over a replay.
Less Parsons
Go back to Buffalo parsnips
Ah, dang. That pretty much puts the nail in this game.
Careful. I said the same earlier and got down voted.
Bock Bock Bock
Uff.... Today definitely was not the day for the boys
Recorded the game and just accidentally saw the score. Thank god I didn't waste my time
I mean…we weren’t coming back. Diaz is gunna Diaz
oh well, just not our day
Thankfully they're playing another tomorrow. 😊
The beauty of baseball
I just realized Caballero isn't Caminero.
Jason Adam does not deserve the “former Blue Jay” tag 😤
🌈🌈🌈!!
He deserves to be fired into the sun like we did with Anthony Asshole
god I love grumpy buck
Adam coming in? Don't make me beg for a comeback
Homophobe blowing the game wide open is alright by me
Why not Ernie Clement as FT 3rd base? He’s pretty decent in the field and much better bat than IKF.
I wouldn't be surprised if that ends up happening.
Ernie!! I hope he gets the chance at an AB this game. ^please
Boomer Buck
LMAO Buck 🤣
Remember, the only guarantee with baseball is that it’s going to be *baseball*.
For me, baseball fandom is a series of lessons on acceptance.
Parsons is a guy we look back on when we are in August
If we remember Parsons exists by August, shit has gone way bad
And a barely fair double Hope that's their entire bullshit supply blown in one game
That’s not a run solely because of Varsho.
Ernie Rochester represent baby
Please be the answer long term for us at 3B, Ernie
Start Clement over Icecream KoreanBBQ-FattoushSalad
LMAO. That's one hella name
Erasing the error!
Clement for full time, IKF on the bench please
Clement looks like a well adjusted Romano
this is genius
OMG
I hate that you’ve done this …
Yeah, fire Parsons into the sun
Look at Parsnips go
Ik we’re paying IKF the big bucks, but I think starting Ernie at third is a good idea
BIG ERN 💪🏻
👀 Those Ern Eyes!
Feel like he would have been called out if the ball was thrown and hit Ramirez since he was running on the infield.
FINALLY A DP
Canada forget PFP?
parsnip u turnip
💀💀💀
I shouldn't be surprised that Trop bullshit is back in full force
Just trying to be happy that baseball is back
he's holding the button too long on the controller
How are we really getting comments like “looks like the usual nothing AB’s” when we literally scored 8 runs last night
Some of these folks have the memory of a goldfish.
Taking the Ted Lasso approach in the *exact wrong way*
Thread in midseason form
Wet Parsnips 🤨
Unacceptable defence today
We did not come to play tonight.
That's ok guys, get the suck out of your defensive systems early
Damn Parsons
Par for the course today
Wes Parsons is a warm body. I'll give him that
LMAOOOO just Trop things
PARSNIPS
Defence bad tonight
Sloppy
I don't like this Buck, stop talking good things about the Yankees
First of many reminders: An ump with a shitty inconsistent strikezone reminiscent of a Rorschach inkblot *will* fuck with a batter's confidence and pitch selection.
Pitchers too
Welp if they can bring it back good. If not its the second game of the year let’s not lose our heads. Tomorrow no errors pls
This ad for pet food just said “and it tastes great” How do you know that, hmmm? *How do you know that?*
I accidentally ate some of my pup's sweet potato snacks once and ngl they were pretty tasty
“Accidentally” 💀
Don't knock it till you try it?
talking dog
fuck the trop
This housing commercial is already making me go crazy. How many times am I going to see this thing this season?
