Why did the Blue Jays lose the series‑opening game to the Tigers?
All right, let's go. Hey ho ho Yeah, that's about all I got. That's it. Over to uh Blair and Barker. Uh for Tuesday, September fifteenth, uh it is Roberto Clemente Day. And uh it's also uh criticized John Schneider Day. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. We did Blue Jay's talk last night. Yeah, you were all over him. People were flaming.
I was not. Yeah, you agree with the people. You were all over and I said don't be afraid to flip over a uh box score and notice when people pitch. Yeah, well okay
it's not hard. Let me finish. Let me finish. True. Let me finish. I said I understood. Why people were frustrated last night. What I said. I understood there was a chance to get That third wild card spot. And people were frustrated because the Jays lost a game with Joe Mantiply pitching. And As we pointed out Um And you know, the first thing we had like five callers and blue jay stock, where was Tyler Rogers? Well he was down. He wasn't gonna pitch yesterday. So much for that. Mm-hmm. How come he didn't use Braden Fisher? Well Braden Fisher was the open.
Um well Braden Fisher was getting loose. Brady Fisher was getting loose and so was Brendan Lewis. Two lefties and a righty. Right that
that's
why Mantheply the lefty was
in. Right. Yeah. Yeah. But um Anyhow, so that was the conversation of Blue J Huge one. And and I I said I understand why fans are frustrated. I also understand why John Schneider managed the game the way he did. What I didn't understand is why people didn't focus more on the fact that the Jays crapped the bed offensively in the first three innings of the game. That was the game was lost. People were hyper focused on Mantiply and Yeah, well and and Varland's error, obviously that that led to the that was the the the go-ahead run. But that game was lost in the second and third inning. It was lost when Vladdy grounded out uh with the bases loaded. They were one for nine with runners in scoring position through three innings.
They had a chance to bury a guy who was all over the place.
And they didn't do it. Nah, not to take up for the people, but I'm going to you know, they did have the lead after the Okamoto back leg. I mean they they did have the lead there where you could be a little bit more.
I'm
not criticizing you, but you being a host of a show. This
is where the show goes off the rails, everyone. You can't decide whether I'm wrong or right. Whether I'm wrong or not. If you'd
let me speak, if if you would do a little homework and look up how many days in a row the guys that matter out of the pen pitched, you would know the answer to it. And just like everybody
else. Even John said that he understood. Why people would look at Tyler Rogers. You know, uh who who, you know, didn't throw a lot of pitches in two games. And who's got that? You know, Velo isn't his strength. Even John said, I understand why dudes throw like that, why people would think that they could pitch every, you know, five times in a row. He said, I get that. That's not the case. And then I said, I I I always say this and give me credit for this, I always say, keep in mind that one, despite what some of you think, John Schneider's not an idiot. He didn't get up in the morning and go, Boy, you know what? I really want to screw this sucker up. So I'm gonna go with Joe Mantiply, because even though everybody else is ready, I wanna do that so that people can call in a blairn barker.
Keep in mind one, the guy knows what he's doing. Yeah, I you know. And two. He has better info than we do. I and I I I keep reminding people by the we can you can rage about whether or not you think Tyler Rogers, you know, sitting on your couch, whether or not you think Tyler Rogers could come in and pitch three days. I i if the manager and the sports science people are saying he can't, he can't. So we do have to keep that in mind that those folks are operating With more detailed information than the rest of us. Congratulations. You just told me I was right. You were right. Yeah. But I'd got it. No, it doesn't. I mean you know, blind squirrel finds another. No, it's
it's
