According to an online petition, many fans feel that if outfielder Daulton Varsho changes his at-bat walk-up song – Ordinary by Alex Warren – it would help spark the struggling team.

Article content

The petition was launched on Change.org on Tuesday night by a user named Skye Domie. In just over 12 hours, the page titled “Change Varsho’s Walk-Up Song to Save the Season” had already garnered a couple hundred signatures.

“The Blue Jays season is off to a rough start. One song might be behind all the problems — Daulton Varsho’s walk-up song, Ordinary,” the petition says. “It simply does not have the right vibe for #BlueJays50 and our return to the World Series.”

What are fans saying?

“Good song for walking in the rain crying about this season; bad song to lock in before an at bat with (Dodgers ace Yoshinobu) Yamamoto tossing heat,” one fan wrote.

“I feel like a deflated balloon when I hear that song come on,” another posted.

“This song is about as exciting as the breakfast hour at an old folks home. Gotta switch it up,” a third wrote.

One user on Reddit posted about how he felt the team’s momentum come to a halt on Tuesday night when Ordinary played at the Rogers Centre.

“Springer hit his RBI double last night to bring us within 2, place was going bananas on 77 cent dog night, hype music blaring, then all the momentum screeched to a halt because of this terrible walk-up song,” they wrote.
