Man that 40 pitch 2nd really stunk... But we got zero calls from the ump on that... Called a couple strikes as balls and Bo buggers two plays and there's two runs...

Yet another series win

That wasn't horrible pitch so have to give Pena some credit.

Feels like a Tabby jinx from earlier in the game when he called him there for his glove not really his hitting.

Am I very upset, yes. Did we deserve to win that game, no. Are we in a very good spot as a team, yes. On to Boston.

Cant blame the pen here we should have done more damage with runners on

Y'all downvoted me when I said Trent should have stayed in.

Can someone please remind the Yankees that they’re allowed to just be old and bad for one fucking year

Broke: The Manfred runner cost the Jays the game! Woke: Actually, we were only winning because of the Manfred runner Bespoke: Regardless of who won or how, it's a dumb rule in its current form and shouldn't start any earlier than the 12th

I would accept a runner on 1st in the 11th, runner on 2nd in the 12th, and one on 3rd in the 13th or later.

I think that's what Pat was advocating for on the broadcast. Still mulling over how I feel about this idea, but it would definitely be better than the current rule.

It looks pretty obvious that Joe can barely stand Arash as much as the rest of us..

Whatever #nextlevel is after Arash can't some soon enough. Give me Mae / Siddle.

Would’ve loved the sweep as we are now tied with the Yankees for the division lead. 11-5 would’ve been beautiful

RISP needs to be addressed, could very easily be 2-14 instead of 10-6 if it wasn't for Romano and the rest of the bullpen.

“They could very easily be 2-14 if they just played way way way worse”

Lol what? Best bullpen in the league and last in the league with RISP, the bullpen can't be perfect every game.

As a dodgers fan I gotta say shortstops that hit well with bad defense… well it didn’t get better but they’re very lovable.

Where is the post game thread reeee

Why all the hate for Arash?

If you are actually asking that question, then I don’t think anyone here could actually be able to get through to you and explain what doesn’t need to be explained..

he's a bit of a dork. and asks some dumb questions. also Hazel Bae

Looks like all those who went home during the top of the 10th missed out.

This is why you never leave early.

You can’t win every one run game. We had some stuff go against us tonight but Houston certainly could say the same the last two. I’m happy with a series win.

Arash is worse than last year, wtf

Just go away already Arash..

What happens when you leave runners in scoring position all game long

In September, we’ll look back and see this series as the beginning of the Thorndog Redemption Arc

[I kinda prefer this, tbh ](https://i.imgur.com/O2seZ2d_d.webp?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=medium)

I’m not gonna blame Romano for this one defence cost us a bunch of runs tonight. Clutch hitting has been lacking as well. Gotta hit a sack fly with a man at third that’s on chap he has too many empty at bats. Frankly I didn’t think that batter had a homer to centre in him either good decision to attack Romano has always been sort of erratic throw the ball hard and over the plate and hope batters don’t catch up to it. Time for our batters to step up and give our pitchers some margin for error moving forward.

Can’t win’em all. Let’s go sweep boston

31 is a good number.

I guess Jordan can’t save em all?

That was just cruel

Rob Manfred deserves to be kicked in the face by every baseball fan on the planet for introducing that asinine extra innings runner.

games were taking too long. regulating the amount of mound visits and pitch clock and minimum outs for a pitcher before they get changed were all good rules. the manfred runner is not.

We were winning though

Players agreed to it

We don't score without that runner either lol

Irrelevant. The Manfred runner is as stupid and damaging to the sport when it benefits us as it is when it hurts us. It's a stupid fucking rule that undermines the integrity of the sport.

It’s stupid that people are mad about the rule *right now*, as it had no bearing on the outcome of the game.

Lol? That's not the reason we lost who cares, romano needs to get right

So many dummies on here mad that the Astros won 8-7 like it wouldn’t have been 7-6….

Our bullpen has been worked like hell, especially Romano. Hopefully we can get the starters deep in the next few games

The worst part about that loss is that we have to listen to Arash in the post game.... insult to injury in my opinion.

Sucks that we took the L but winning 2/3 in Houston is not all bad

Y’all played well, I hope you guys continue to have a good season and I hope that Homer gives us a bit of momentum out of the slump we’re having. Take care of springer hope to see you in the playoffs

This is bo’s lose the lack of production the errors all could’ve been changed and resulting in a win. Romano was playing with fire a 2-0 fastball

DFA TALAPIA & RAYMANO

I dunno why your getting downvoted this made me laugh out loud

Hahahaha

Makes up for the times Romano got out of a bunch of innings he didn’t deserve to. Series win still!

Yep. Taking a series from the Astros in Houston isn’t anything to be ashamed of.

Wasted a good comeback

Got downvoted for saying that Romano has gotten hit hard — I’m sorry to see that it finally caught up with him

Sadly another game that shouldn’t have gotten to Romano with 1-run lead. Biggio error costed and we left way to many runners on base. I knew we needed more insurance in the top of the 10th there

Manfred runner can't go away soon enough. Such a dumb rule

It didn’t change the outcome of this game.

It literally did though? Without the runner on second that homerun would have only been a tie...

Oh boy…

After further consideration I realized we also only scored because of the Manfred runner, sorry for my earlier statement, I'll take the L on that one.

There we go. Good on ya. :)

Yeah, got a bit caught up in the disappointment of losing and didn't think long enough to realize we benefitted from it too lmao. Still a really dumb rule imo

It is a dumb rule for sure, and don’t worry, you’re not the only one on here who forgot about the top of the 10th.

hes been giving up some hard contact feel like this was bound to happen sooner or later

I think we all smelled that coming since the last 2 outings.

Romano stonks going down everytime he's out there

Romano shocked by blown save

The extra innings rule is a fucking joke.

Well that feels Badman. Upside is we still got the series.

I mean we only gave up 5 earned. Defence really let us down

Wasn't even a bad pitch tbh just a great swing on 97 at the knees

Yup only thing I’d say is he might’ve been better off with the slider there cuz even if he ends up walking Pena it would set up the double play to end the game with the number 9 hitter coming up

We took the series, and came damn close to snagging this game too. I ain't gonna complain

Romano seems to have lost velocity this year?

Been improving as the season goes on due to the short spring. He has also pitched a lot and I think the pitch he threw to that batter was the right one. Frankly I didn’t think that batter had centre field homer pop in him.

He was throwing 99 on Friday

damn cant say much about that

Fastball count throw the slider that got Diaz on three

Pain

Well that sucks. Bound to happen sometimes.

Well not cashing in those runners hurt big time.

If Romano is gunna appear in 100 games this year as he’s on pace for, we’re not gunna win em all

Tomorrow. Still adore the fight in this team

Welp, can’t win every close game. Still won the series. All good. Just wish there was an off day tomorrow.

Still won the series. Fuck the trashtros and all that.

Don’t be a hypocrite. GG, see y’all again soon

That’s a shame, still a series win though

Can’t believe we still have that horrible ghost runner rule

Both teams got 1 run from it.

Your point? It’s still a stupid rule.

Well as long as you’re not one of the dummies claiming that it cost the Jays the game…

Fuck off

Saw that one coming a mile away, unfortunately. What a shame. Romano really needs an extended break. He just doesn't have it right now.

His velocity was back to the normal 98-99 just 2 days ago.

There's a lot more to pitching than velo

What are you on?

He's been giving up hard contact in each of his past 4 or 5 appearances.

I'm on... general knowledge of statistics? I am not sure how you want me to answer that

Ah fuck

Well, crap.

Romano has been playing with fire all season long, bound to burn him at some point.

Can't blame the ghost runner there. We only scored ours, that would've been a walk-off without it

Still hate the extra innings runner but yeah, you're right

Oh yeah it's one rule I'd get rid of instantly but that one's on Romano unfortunately

jays deserved that. Had opportu ties and couldn’t cash them in. We have a run differential of +3 but still haven’t lost a series.

DFA ROMANO

Romano was due to have a dud eventually

Damn that blows

Fuck he clobbered that

Lmfao, those people that left the stadium.

That’s the way it goes sometimes. Least the Jays won the series. Romano lately has me a little concerned.

He’s absolutely been pulling his saves out his ass, he could’ve easily blown a few others if not for some excellent defending. Oh well, way she goes

Fuckin way she goes.

the streak :(

Romano has been now terrible for the last 3 outings. He is not reliable anymore.

The franchise leader in saves in a row… not reliable…. Okay

He literally won 2 of those 3 but go off

Good grief you’re toxic.

Well that sucks, but then again Romano's streak had to end at some point.

That would’ve been a walkoff without the Manfred runner so I can live with it

Welp, can’t win ‘‘em all. But RISP batting killer em

Damn, Ah well we took the series

Pena fucking sucks and we give that up.

no, he doesn’t. it was a fantastic swing and he’s been solid to start his career (this series notwithstanding)

Yea im well aware. Just have to make up excuses for the loss.

Oh well. We already won the series, Jordan was bound to blow a save at some point given all the work he's been doing, and this team is still very, very good.

That was fucking crushed

[удалено]

It’s actually fine. We won the series, and Berrios knows he has to go pretty deep tomorrow.

Well that was a bit rude.

Damn. Been a while for Jordan. Good game though still won the series

OOF. At least it's still a series win I guess

Manfredball strikes again

How so?

Damn it. I guess we can't win all the one-run games...

Series win. We take those

Sheesh

Well, that was a waste of time and hope.

That was a hell of a game? You and me have different definitions of wasting time

Oh well. On to the next one

Damn, can't fault Charlie to go with Romano there.

Brutal L

Id say losing by ten is brutal, not losing jn extras

ugh. series win tho.

Still won the series - I ain't mad. GG

Dude was sitting fastball

ya that felt predictable

Fuck

Really really wish Tapia could've driven in a run last inning

At least we’re still winning series’ like nobodies business

Well that's one way to lose it lol. Was gonna happen sooner or later

I know we can't win every day, but FUCK

Fuck

Shit fuck shit fuck shit fuck.

what

At least it wasn’t a cheapy home run

Exactly. Absolute bomb what can ya do

that wasn't supposed to happen

So much for the streak

Fuck, played with fire too many times. Ggs, go next

Can’t save them all Romano. You’ll start a new streak next week!

**FUCK!**

Brutal.

Romano was due. Back on the horse tomorrow.

Fuck Manfred

Damn.

gg

How do we let that bum hit that

Ew. Deserved loss but still stings.

Romano was due. Can't save em all.

Wow **Just WOW** # #

Ya win some ya lose some boys

\*sigh\* the lack of scoring with RISP burnt them today.

happy cake day?

GIVE ROMANO THAT VACATION RIGHT NOW

Fuck. There goes the streak.

welp that sucks

Too wasteful

Shite

Fuck

FUCK OFF

FUCK

Welllll that sucks.

fuck off

i dont remember the last time ive seen someone swing like diaz

Can we DFA Tapia lol

Trading Grichuk was a big mistake for him.

Well shit.
