Why can't the Buccos beat the Brewcrew? This is a repeat of the past few seasons.

How do you pitch to Bautista the way he's hitting to let him get 3 HRs? I never want to walk a guy, but he's putting up Bonds like numbers and should be pitched accordingly.

Usually pitchers aren't giving him easy pitches to hit.  At one time he lead the league in walks this year, and he might still be leading in that category.

I'm pretty sure that he is. I think his walk rate is around 25%.

I'm sure they're not easy pitches to hit. I'm questioning why he's really getting any pitches to hit. I haven't watched any Jays games, nor have I read play-by-plays, but it seems just from a numbers standpoint that he would be getting  the Bonds treatment a bit more.

Comparatively he's actually putting up a better season than Bonds ever did.

Six losses in a row. This is smelling like last season all over again.

RIP Harmon Killebrew. A true class act. There is no joy in the Twin Cities today.

Too many errors last night.  I wonder how much longer Jays management will tolerate Encarnacion.
