toronto blue jays short field Bo Bichette he will sit and think about this for a while. He made a costly mistake during Wednesday’s game against the Philadelphia Phillies.
In the tenth inning, with the score tied at one apiece, a groundout was hit back up the middle to pitcher Tim Mayza. Mayza spun and fired a strike to Bichette at second, but Bichette didn’t return the strike to first base for the double play. He fired it off of Vladimir Guerrero Jr., causing the Phillies to win the game.

This marks Bichette’s fourth mistake this young season thus far. This ties him for the 15th most errors in all of baseball. Enrique Hernández and CJ Abrams lead the league with eight each.
This is not what fans want to see from their team’s shortstop. The shortstop is supposed to be the safest fielder on the team. Last season, Bichette finished the year with 23 errors. Only one shortstop had more errors last season: javier baez.
“Knock him down or move him to 2B. This is embarrassing,” one fan tweeted.
“Absolutely terrible,” another fan tweeted.
Toronto Blue Jays fans are tired of seeing Bo Bichette’s constant mistakes. They’d like to see the team move away from him at shortstop.
Philadelphia won both games over the Blue Jays in the series. Now, Toronto has a real test ahead of them as they take on the atlanta braves on Friday.
Can Bo Bichette’s bat make up for his defensive woes with the Toronto Blue Jays?
There’s no denying Bo Bichettes’ bat. He currently leads the american league in hits and total bases. It comes off back-to-back seasons in which he led the American League in hits. Bichette is without a doubt one of the best-hitting shortstops in the league.
As a shortstop, a good at-bat can only get you so far. Fans don’t want to be embarrassed every time a ball hits their shortstop’s direction. Bichette has to redeem himself this season and put mistakes aside.
The team has the talent to run this season, something they have been trying to do for the past several years. They haven’t been able to fully put it together for an entire season.
They’ll have work to do this season, as the AL East looks to be the most competitive division in all of baseball.
