Hope Davis Schneider gets to have an at bat and breaks the no hitter up to make John Schneider look like the clueless moron than he already is.

No hit by 30-year-old journeyman Ronel Blanco.

Quick, let's extend Guillermo for cheap while we still can... you've got to know the other 29 teams are beating down the door to hire him.

What an absolute joke. Rogers and the entire organization should be completely embarrassed.

Good thing we spent all that money on renovating the stadium, though.

Third stinker in the first five games for the "complete" team.

This is the most puzzling thing for me. Do these guys in the Front Office not see the writing on the wall? This team will be fighting for the lottery pick in 2 years when Bo and Vlad leave. We're the oldest team in the AL. This "winning" window is closing fast. Who exactly are these renovations meant for? The 10-15k fans that will show up to games once the rebuild begins?

Man... I haven't been this mad in a while. I legitimately might be more angry with this garbage 5 games into the season where we course corrected from the brutal end to last year.

Rogers is a complete joke. I bet you those Rogers owners of the Blue Jay ads that were airing during the Rays series get pulled.

Not to worry, I'm sure Guillermo will fix it.

The Yankees got Soto

The Orioles got Burnes

The Jays got no hit

I think we had enough prospect capital to get both Soto and Burnes - they were sold dimes on the dollar

They essentially made no changes. Same hitting coach. Same players - they even brought back Kiermaier despite having Varsho for CF, and added a guy in IKF who can't hit. It's almost like they planned to fail.

Our only hope this year is that we get a new hitting coach ASAP and younger guys like Clement and Schneider get regular playing time and prove to be average or above average hitters. It wouldn't hurt if one or two of the guys in Buffalo force their way onto the big club too.

History repeating itself, not enough consistent hitters in the lineup... Atkins: "Let's run it back, and sign some more defensive minded & low batting average free agents to fill out the roster"... It's reminiscent of Masai not signing any shooters during the offseasons when we all knew it was the team's most glaring need.

But you will need at least a $100 budget for enough beer to make the on field display endurable.
