I am less worried about Berrios than I am Kikuchi at this point. Berrios has been bad as well, and hard to trust right now, but I do think he's good enough to turn it around at some point.

I've been wondering when the target gets put onto Walker. He had a bad offseason (DUI) and now you have pitchers who can't be trusted. He should be questioned on what the heck is going on. For Kikuchi, you see his stuff for an inning, or an at bat and you get why he's in the majors. You know there's something there. But then you get an at bat or inning where he can't locate his FB and then his off-speed stuff isn't good enough to compensate for that.

Berrios...he can't put his off-speed and FB together it seems like. He'll have a good FB, but then his off-speed stuff isn't moving and he gets tee'd up.

Maybe it's the balls and the organization isn't cheating enough now that the foreign substances checks are weaker than they were last yr. What's the suspension for a foreign substance now? Suspended 10 games without pay, maybe for Kikuchi it's worth it to load up on sunscreen and dirt.

I havent heard anyone talking about Walker in the media yet so I am not sure anyone's questioning him yet. That's just me questioning him at this point but I am surprised the media hasn't started. I keep listening to podcasts and from what I have heard, his name hasn't really come up yet at all but it should.

It's crazy to think he was a coach that could have been (and likely tried) to be poached by another team because of his work with pitchers the last few yrs too.

I'm with you, he def should be questioned. He's had 2 guys who should have a combined 7ERA max and they have an 11ERA. Schneider is taking more heat than Walker, or is at least in the spot light more.

This has been beyond frustrating to watch. Almost no change since Montoyo was canned.

Even a decent run here would have them back in the division race with the Yankees finally slumping.

I've saying this for the last 2 months. They were so much fun to watch last year and our expections were high, but they should be better than this. Whether it's pitching or leaving men on base or hitting into double plays, there is always something that frustrates the fans.

They need to end the home run jacket. Please end it.

My god I hate how much Springer is the spark plug in the Jays offense.

[Axeman33]

That performance from Stripling yesterday was HUGE!

Haha why is that?

[hockeyrobot]

I'm all for having fun and celebrating.....but the jacket and the ice bucket dump after a regular win have got to go.

[2014olympicgold]

Haha why is that?

Cause an offense with Vlad, Bo, and Teoscar shouldn't be dependent on 1 player providing the spark.

I'd love to see a stat on all three of those players numbers with and without Springer in the lineup. It's prolly ridiculous.

[Axeman33]

Considering the salary he's making, I'd expect him to lead the offense.

Leading an offense vs being dependent on him I find to be different though. It's just such a contrast in offense when you miss Springer.

But what a game last night. Kinda surprised to see Romano go in, but at least it was a short outing.

Good weekend, but the Jays again are just allergic to sweeping teams lol.

[hockeyrobot]

Next 19 before facing Tampa. 13-6 record would be nice....

Boston
Angels
Cubs
Pirates
Orioles
Rangers
