Guillermo Martínez had some takes on Wednesday.

So much so that when the Toronto Blue Jays sent the hitting coach out for a lineup exchange, he got tossed from the game before the first pitch was even thrown.

While we don&#8217;t know exactly what led to Martínez getting chucked from the game, I think it&#8217;s safe to assume it had to do with <a href="https://bluejaysnation.com/2022/06/22/jays-skid-continues-as-the-bullpen-struggles-yet-again-in-marathon-loss-to-the-white-sox/">Tuesday night&#8217;s extra-inning debacle against the Southsiders</a>.
Behind the plate was Doug Eddings who had one of the worst commands of the zone as I&#8217;ve ever seen. According to Ump Scorecards, Eddings called 25 pitches as strikes that were actually balls.

It cost the Blue Jays a staggering 3.79 runs, while costing the White Sox 1.79 runs. While it was bad both ways, the Jays were clearly coming out on the short end of the stick. Missing a few pitches here or there isn&#8217;t the end-all-be-all, but when you&#8217;re as consistently awful as Eddings was Tuesday, it&#8217;s hard to give any credit.
During Wednesday&#8217;s matinee to wrap up the series, the officiating crew bumped Eddiings to third-base, presumably to cut him a break after a tough, tough go.
Hopefully, after the game, Charlie Montoyo gives us some idea of what happened with Martínez.
<h1>A quick note on Springer</h1>
Jays slugger George Springer was removed from Tuesday&#8217;s game with elbow discomfort but has remained on the active roster. The Jays have an off-day Thursday before a three-game series on the road against the Milwaukee Brewers, so hopefully we&#8217;ll find out more about what was plaguing Springer for a few days.
