Springer and Guerrero are the black holes in the Jays batting order. #BlueJays

[Kerry Banks @bad_kicker]

Bringing Seabold in to pitch after your team has rallied to take the lead is a brainless decision. #BlueJays

[Kerry Banks @bad_kicker]

The bottom half of the Jays batting order is carrying them again today. Might be time switch things up. #BlueJays

[Kerry Banks @bad_kicker]

@jonbecker_ Hoffman's problem is lack of control.

[Kerry Banks @bad_kicker]

Pinango is still not calling for the ball on pop ups. He caused two collisions because of his reluctance to take charge. Last inning he forced Vladdy to make an difficult catch as he pulled up. #BlueJays

[Kerry Banks @bad_kicker]

@Sportsnet Marner is a force out there.

[Kerry Banks @bad_kicker]

@BartGinson Schneider is blind to these observational facets of the game.

[Kerry Banks @bad_kicker]

Mitch Marner is a force. #MapleLeafs

[Kerry Banks @bad_kicker]

Hard to believe that Schneider has gone to Hoffman again. #BlueJays

[Kerry Banks @bad_kicker]

Ernie Clement could give the rest of the club batting lessons. Guy always looks so relaxed at the plate. #BlueJays

[Kerry Banks @bad_kicker]

@Damon98_ They will soon send him to the minors.

[Kerry Banks @bad_kicker]

Spencer Miles. What a welcome surprise. #BlueJays

[Kerry Banks @bad_kicker]

@BartGinson No focus. No brains.

[Kerry Banks @bad_kicker]

@Focal75_ Valenzuela can't pitch in relief.

[Kerry Banks @bad_kicker]

@thegoldenmuzzy I guarantee he will be fired.

[Kerry Banks @bad_kicker]

@TKamung @Sportsnet By being reactive he can lay the blame on the player. If he is proactive the spotlight falls on him.

[Kerry Banks @bad_kicker]

@LukewSavage Heineman is the ace.

[Kerry Banks @bad_kicker]

@kathypom54 They would not have to be "seen" to have a chat with Schneider about Guerrero's lack of hustle.

[Kerry Banks @bad_kicker]

@kathypom54 @Robb_Ellis It's not the norm in pro sports. The GM often makes most of the decisions, even as far as signing off on the daily lineup.

[Kerry Banks @bad_kicker]

@AngrySchneider_ That would be holding players accountable for their actions. That is not in the Blue Jays playbook. That's why we keep seeing these blunders repeated.
