This home run from Hernandez is bittersweet.

The Toronto Blue Jays made a tactical error on social media when they celebrated a home run while losing by seven runs to the Baltimore Orioles. While the home run from Teoscar Hernandez did make it a six-run game rather than a seven-run game, it was probably not the right time to post a highlight, and the fans let them hear about it.

This is the home run from the Toronto Blue Jays slugger and the Twitter post that sparked plenty of hate in response.

The home run was impressive, made even more impressive by the fact that Teoscar Hernandez has homered in back-to-back games, but posting the highlight to Twitter seemingly had the opposite effect they intended.

This fan was very blunt in his thoughts on the home run.

Toronto Blue Jays fans are normally more reserved, but getting blown out by the Baltimore Orioles can have damaging effects on a fanbase.

Toronto Blue Jays fans are very hard on themselves and their team

The Toronto Blue Jays are second place in the American League East, behind only the New York Yankees, who have proven to be the best team in the MLB this season, but this pending loss to the Baltimore Orioles was unexpected and infuriating.

Every win will matter if the Toronto Blue Jays hope to win the division, so losing a winnable game like this could prove disastrous, and the fans know it.

This fan recommends the team refrain from making further posts given the state of the game.

This fan was apparently not following the game closely and was dismayed upon seeing the score.

Some fans were able to find the positives, despite how few and far between they may be.

This fan makes a great point, the game is not over yet, but a comeback is very unlikely.

This fan is very confused as to how the game has gone the direction it has and gives the team a backhanded compliment in response to the home run.

A loss to a division rival always hurts more than a regular loss, especially when your team is a prohibitive favorite coming in. Every fan will handle these losses differently, but very few are able to look on the bright spots from the game without a twinge of sadness.

This home run from Teoscar Hernandez is a great personal achievement, but the team and their fans have bigger issues at the moment.
