The Yankees hit their first valley of the season a week ago. They've played the worst baseball all year and still managed a split against the Jays. Thankfully the Os haven't been killing it either.

19:04 I agree Bo is playing like he wants to be traded. But someone should tell him that if he played better, he’d be easier to trade and his return would prompt the jays to act. Playing sour is only hurting his chances. Today’s game, saw zero try in his game. Altuve hits a ball out of the zone like Bo used to and to me it spoke volumes. He needs a change of scenery.

[@2727rogers]

Yes IKF is having a good year but he doesn't take enough walks. If he did he would be having a great year.

[@paulduffy8774]

hi guys what do you think of my predictions blue jays miss the boat on chap and merri everything is happening every game

[@Dulcimerist]

The Blue Jays front office has done nothing to change the trajectory of the team, and it's been in a decline for the past year or two. It's finally reaching its breaking point. The current culture of analytics being the golden idol to essentially worship and allow to dictate all decision making isn't working out. Fundamentals have taken a back seat to analytics, and now we see many players underperforming. It's time for the Blue Jays organization to stop drinking the Kool-Aid of this analytics "cult" and replace coaches and management with staff who have a balanced approach.

[@2727rogers]

Horwitz should be the lead off hitter and IKF when Horwitz isn't in the line up.

[@LockedOnBlueJays]

100% agree

[@2727rogers]

Well if Bo has another season like this one that boat load of cash will not be on the table. Also if you trade him now the way he is hitting your not going to get much for him.

It was nice for a few wins, but this team is still not making the playoffs. They are too far back, too inconsistent, both offense and their bullpen caves in. This trade deadline will show where at least the Jays are headed into next year. Rebuild or retool. The direction, starting with the trade deadline this year, will show us what the owners plan is sort of headed. A rebuild will be a long path, but if Atkins is gone maybe a brighter future. If Atkins is in charge with the same head coach, then the ownership doesn't care. God forbid, another Gord Ask era of Blue Jays baseball where not much is done with shaky team make up. I mean, the Gord Ash era was much worse to be honest, but right now, the future looks bleak. I wish the Jays would get back to what makes them a talked about team in the MLB: Great team make up. We haven't had this in some time.

[@veritasinvicta2996]

When they traded Teoscer Hernandez and Lourdes Gurriel Jr, it signaled the beginning of the end. They did it to get "negative" influences away from Vlad. The pitching has been the team's strength for a couple of years now.

[@2727rogers]

Yes of the starting 9 blue jay batters only Kiemaier is having a worse season than Bo. Well unless Kirk is starting than Bo is ahead of him as well. Why would they have him leading off. So for the majority of this season two of the worse hitters on the team have lead off. Hard to win when you do that.

[@AndyCarnival]

This team is the worst in baseball with RISP they need to get going or it's over!

[@matt5384]

Bases loaded 1 out in the second gives you no points, I was optimistic but had to stop watching. Came back in the 7th and no one had been on since 😢😢 Game was over right there, Blue Jays won't show pop for more than an inning this season.

[@LockedOnBlueJays]

Yea that’s what I’ve been harping on all year, you need to strike in multiple innings

[@jccruz9826]

Sell everything!
