The Toronto Blue Jays drooped another frustrating game 2-1 to the Milwaukee Brewers.
One of the Toronto Blue Jays most frustrating moments came between innings, when Trevor McGill struck out Daulton Varsho to cap the top of the when the reliever glared at Blue Jays dugout shouting the towards the bench as he walked off the mound.
That brought Davis Schneider and catcher Tyler Heineman out onto the field, chirping back and forth with Megill as he continued to his dugout.
From the on-deck circle, Vladimir Guerrero Jr yelled at him to keep walking to the dugout.

Tempers will run high when a season begins as lamentably as Toronto’s has
It's particularly frustrating when you’re getting beat on a walk followed by three consecutive bunts, which is how the Brewers scored the game-winning run against Tommy Nance and Joe Mantiply in the seventh.
Toronto managed only 1 run all night, and Guerrero went 1-for-3 with a walk as the offense stalled again.
For Guerrero, the exchange also fit the tone of a player who has been carrying a lot of the Blue Jays' offense early.
He entered the game batting .328 with an .889 OPS, so he is not exactly drifting quietly through April.
Meanwhile, Eric Lauer gets the start for the Blue Jays against Dbacks right-hander Mike Soroka on Friday at Chase Field in Arizona. First pitch is at 9:40 PM ET.
