What happened in the Blue Jays' recent shutout loss to the Mariners?
Well, Nick, much like the Blue Jays offense, I don't got a lot for you today because let's face it, there wasn't exactly a ton going on in this one. The Jays get shut out for the second straight game. They score two total runs in three full ball games across the entire series, two runs, 10 hits, four walks in Seattle, some real listless stuff. from the Jays today. A 4-0 loss to wrap up this series. Jays fall six games back below .500 with the loss. They are now 42-48. And yeah, you could probably just re-rack Jays talk from yesterday because I don't think it's going to be a whole lot different.
Yeah, show normally when you have a tough day at the plate, you really struggle to get things going. You come out every day is a new day in baseball. You start from scratch. There's no momentum. You're facing a different pitcher and you triple your hit count from the previous day. That is a great way to get things going and get the offense online. They did that in this one and it did.
What are the reasons behind the Blue Jays' offensive struggles?
It got them absolutely nowhere. I mean, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. can say he had a decent day at the plate. He had a really nice double, and he walked. The rest of the team got on base collectively twice. There are some bright spots literally in Trey Yassavish. Tyler Rogers had a good inning. We could talk about Alejandro Kirk and his excellent ABS work, but realistically, it's tough to come away from this one feeling great about your Toronto Blue Jays.
Yeah, so if you look at the three-game series, six hits on Friday, two walks, they score two runs. Saturday, yesterday, one hit, no walks, no runs. And then today, three hits, one of those coming from Lucas in the top of the ninth inning, two hits and no runs. That is a tough way... to kick off a nine-game road trip. But yeah, not a lot going on for the Jays today. That is Nick Ashmore, and I'm Sho Ali.
How did Trey Yesavage perform in the game against the Mariners?

The Jays scored as many runs as Erling Haaland scored goals in about 11 minutes of playtime today alone. So there you go. That's probably not the comparison you want to make. As great as Erling Haaland was today.
And he was fantastic. But there... Our mitigating factors, you can say, listen, Seattle's got great pitching. It matters what the other team does, too. That is a difficult place to hit. You can layer all these things together and say you weren't necessarily expecting many runs to be scored by the Blue Jays in the series.
What defensive issues are affecting Ernie Clement this season?
You might have to win kind of low scoring if you're going to take it in Seattle. But at the end of the day, you're just so far below the level of acceptability that you can't make those excuses and sound credible. And I think one of the core tensions of the show, I think one of the reasons why Jay's talk is an interesting show, is it's often the clash between how people feel and trying to bring and what we think about what's going on with the team. And as much as you say things like, They have to be better than this. We know these guys are talented. You know, even sitting here in this studio with you, it's hard for us to not feel those same feelings of just watching them do literally nothing. It's hard to come here and say, you know what?
It will be better than this. And it will just because it has to be like this is not the worst baseball team ever assembled. They're not going to get one hit and three hit in every game. But it's certainly when you watch it, you don't really see specific evidence of why it will be better. You just kind of have to take that on faith. And that's a pretty difficult thing to do right now.
Yeah, there was a there's a text here.
What are the implications of the Blue Jays' series loss in Seattle?
Here it is. John and Perry sound, which I read earlier. And I think it's this gets to what you're talking about. 590 590 name and location. John saying this offense is tough to watch.
