May 6, 2026; St. Petersburg, Florida, USA; Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Patrick Corbin (46) throws a pitch against the Tampa Bay Rays in the second inning at Tropicana Field. Mandatory Credit: Nathan Ray Seebeck-Imagn Images | Nathan Ray Seebeck-Imagn Images **Blue Jays 0 Rays 3** I said in the thread: The thing I like about baseball, is the team can be going bad, the game can be going bad, but there are still just amazing plays to watch. I have been a Jays fan pretty much since the first series. There have been a lot of bad games. When teams play 162 games a year, even in the best of years, there are a lot of bad games. I’ve always thought that if you can’t handle losses in baseball, this is the wrong sport for you. Even the best teams lose more games that+n football teams will lose in five years And there were a number of nice plays:

Piñango made a nice catch in the first.
Clement and Sosa made a nice double ply in the third.
Okamoto had a very nice play on a ball right down the left field line.
Straw hit one off the top of the center field wall.
Patrick Corbin pitched quite well.
Nice to see Fisher have a good outing. But it was a loss. We had just four hits: Okamoto, Varsho, and Straw (2). Vlad, Springer, Clement, Schneider and Heineman all look just lost at the plate at the moment The defense wasn’t as sharp as it needs to be. Clement had a throwing error that ended up costing us a run (Vlad could have saved him the error by making a catch). Jays of the Day? Well, I’ll give one to Varsho for the pinch hit (0.08 WPA) and it was a nice swing. Other Award: Piñango (-0.16, he had a really tough time against the lefty ), Clement (-0.11, plus the error) and Vlad (-0.10). But really, call the game in the starting lineup could get the ‘award’. Tomorrow’s an off-day, and I can use it. Sometimes too much negative in the GameThread can get to me. As always, if I ask ‘stop’ please stop. Moderating is not all that much fun, it is the part of running this place that I hate. Friday we start a series with the Angels in Toronto. It can’t possibly be as bad as this one was. Right? Tell me I’m right. We get (2-1, 3.05) vs. (1-2, 4.28).
