lol Jays leaving a million runners on going to come back to bite them. 4 double plays in 6 innings!

Tied at 3 despite Francis only allowing 3 base runners

The Braves have decided that I don't see enough bad command, deep counts and bad defense covering prep games.

lol the Jays had a reliever ready but opted not to bail out their struggling starter and it cost them two runs

It's too bad about that bullshit strike three call earlier or there'd still be only one out for this O's rally

That last play wasn't Vlad's fault. There's not a first baseman in the league who could have made that play. Bichette just made a bad throw when he should have just eaten the ball. The Jays weren't going to get the guy out

That doesn't mean it wasn't stupid to make the throw. There was no way the throw was going to beat the hitter to the base. Bichette shouldn't have attempted it. He should have eaten the ball so he didn't risk throwing it into the dugout. Vlad definitely did everything right

Early contender for most frustrating game of the year for the Jays. So many missed opportunities while the Orioles capitalize on every single chance. 5 runs on 4 hits!

Bro, what? Seriously, go back and rewatch it. If Vlad catches it he's out by a step and a half, if not two.

If it makes you feel any better, most of the O’s offensive performances this season have been just like the Jays today.

cant get the inline to work but he clearly would have been very out if Vlad just didn't drop the ball so I don't know what you mean by there was no way the throw would beat the runner and that no first baseman in baseball makes that play (catches a ball that didn't even require a pick?)

unless you're just trolling me, then good job, I fell for it

blah loss for the Mets, their starting lineup is weak (only four players with an OPS above .600) and desperately needs the returns of McNeil and Alvarez to bolster it a bit

McNeil has been gone so long, I no longer remember his presence in the lineup except that the shift stalled him a bit.

Also, is Alvarez that much better than Torrens? I think Torrens adds defense that Alvarez lacks.

Dude did you not see how far he stretched to get it? He was in the drat splits and in the end he was even pulled off the base

That is a play that Vlad and many other first baseman have made tons of times before lol. What happened to it being stupid to even throw the ball and there being no chance of it beating the runner?

I think he's an upgrade but not a huge one, Torrens' defense is better but the team desperately needs Alavarez's pop right now

Yeah, that fan literally pulled the ball out of Trout's glove. He fought Trout for it for a few seconds. That should absolutely count as fan interference even though it was foul. I hate to say it but Yainer should have been out and I'm glad that the fan is being kicked out
