TORONTO – Alejandro Kirk had a chance to deliver a special moment when he stepped in as a pinch hitter with the bases loaded and the Blue Jays down four Saturday afternoon, but even the Blue Jays’ most productive hitter couldn’t provide the miracle required. He struck out swinging.
The loss resonated so deeply within the Blue Jays clubhouse that the idea of not playing came up. But in the end, the Blue Jays played, losing their third straight game to the Rays. Within that context, the Rays’ three fifth-inning home runs hurt a little more than usual. While Thornton has come through with some big outs this season, the Blue Jays have had to expose him to more high-leverage situations than even. This time, it backfired.
On Saturday night, when the news first reached the Blue Jays, Montoyo decided right away that he needed to be with Budzinski, leaving the game management to John Schneider and others so he could offer some support. The Blue Jays closed their clubhouse to the media after Saturday’s game to inform the players of the news. Sunday morning, the team officially announced the news.
bnicholsonsmith Need to make a hitting coach and bring in a hard ass manager. I'm thinking Girardi.
bnicholsonsmith 😝😝😝
bnicholsonsmith Disappointing for all the fans who showed up to support their Jays this weekend at Rogers Centre.
bnicholsonsmith I don't want to hear the injury excuse. This season is about to get away from the Jays and fast. Atkins and Shapiro have to come out of hibernation and get this thing back on the rails.
I mean...yes however, having the bases loaded at least twice and getting nothing didn't help
bnicholsonsmith You're welcome.

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.
