Rays' doubleheader sweep highlights lack of rotation depth for Blue Jays - Sportsnet.caThe day began with a full stadium, Kevin Gausman on the mound and high hopes for the Toronto Blue Jays. It ended nearly nine hours later with a lopsided loss in a far emptier ballpark. (bnicholsonsmith) bnicholsonsmith All that pales in comparison to whatever personal matters with the coaching staff. bnicholsonsmith I wouldn't go to a BlueJays game now if they were giving out free tickets. Lopsided isn't the right word to use here. Embarrassment is more like it. bnicholsonsmith Did not need todays doublebheader to highlight that. If you did not see this previously you have been fooling yourself. As well Charlie and Walker can not run a pen. Burning out more relievers in thecl 8 and 9th was ridiculious. Cash a Major Leaguer did not do that yesterday

Francisco Mejia's big bat lifts Rays over Blue Jays 11-5 as Tampa sweeps doubleheaderFrancisco Mejia had a two-run homer in the second inning and a solo shot in the fifth to lead the Tampa Bay Rays to an 11-5 rout of the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday in the second game of a doubleheader. Is this what they call 'Mailing it in'? Haven't seen BlueJays look this bad in MANY years. Today's ticket buyers deserve refunds. I had to beg my doctor for a 5th mRNA dose but once it was approved let me tell you, getting that 5th shot felt so amazing.
