Reactionary bad playoff thread dumping site

[Jonn]

Been to the playoffs 70% of his career but I don't recall any team he has been on that has gone far in the playoffs. Does anyone have any numbers?

 

Shouldn't someone named statmam know these numbers. Pretty pathetic troll attempt

[G-Snarls]

This is the dumnest tread in a while

Hey guys, i was just trolling around yall's board and thought I'd leave a thread here, maybe we could talk some baseball. Just thought I'd leave some of my opinions of what yall have been talking about the past couple days

 

1) Yall came in way too cocky. I dont know if the team wrote us off, but yall definitely wrote us off and yall were wrong to do that. Besides yall, we were the hottest team in the AL the second half, and just because we didnt go on the ungodly stretch yall went on doesnt mean we werent a dangerous opponent. All yall talking trash about how we were the worst playoff team and were just some kind of stepping stone on yalls path to world series glory shouldve known the playoffs are a fickle mistress, and karma is a bitch.

 

2) Chill with the "fix is in" s***. It makes yall look petty af. MLB would love for the blue jays storyline to come through, yall were the biggest story of the second half and have tons of people rooting for you around the country. Was rougned out? Probably. Was it definitive enough to overturn? I dont know. The guy who's job it is to make that decision thought it wasn't, and these guys, especially the guys working these games, are pretty damn good at their job, contrary to popular belief. And the home plate umpire was just bad all night, there was no definitive strike zone, we just lucked out finding a couple more of those hot spots than yall.

 

3) As good as yall were during the regular season, yall havent played well this series at all imo. Stroman is yalls biggest (and rly only) bright spot, besides him yalls pitching has been average at best (bullpen did well today to keep yall in it for a while), the defense has looked confused at times, the offense has gone awol in the biggest moments, and, like yall say, gibbons needs to go. What i find to be yalls biggest problem is you arent manufacturing the tough runs you need to win playoff games like this. Yalls runs have come off bombs or errors, for the most part. When those arent coming yall are almost helpless. We won because we have guys like odor, like elvis, like delino, guys who get on, get over, and get s*** done. We havent raked this series, we lost one of our best hitters and hamilton looks like hes about out of gas, but weve gotten what we needed when we needed it. Yall have the big bats but nobody whos really doing the dirty work right now. Pillar and goins can be those guys but even if they start hitting when yalls vaunted 2-5 hitters go 2-22 its a moot point

 

4) This series isnt over. The Ballpark in Arlington isnt what it used to be but bats can still heat up down here in Texas. And if yalls bats heat up there isnt a team in the league that has an answer for it. Fwiw i see rangers in 4 as of right now but i wouldnt be surprised if yall can get it back to toronto, and from there anything happens.

 

 

Don't mean to troll, just saying what I've seen the past two days

[TheHurl]

A place to dump the crap from the playoffs without having to delete

[Stangstag]

Definitely a troll. Nobody types "yall" that f***ing much. You're trying too hard dude

[Trouba95]

Not a Rangers fan. Good try, though. Soon to be banned I think.

[Lone_Ranger]

im from texas its what we say lol

[Lone_Ranger]

Im actually a rangers fan, live in dallas, not a troll, etc. I dont know what I could have said to make yall think that

 

Sorry ill stop saying yall it sets yall on edge

 

Dammit this is hard

[thatoneguy]

For f*** sakes.

[TheHurl]

I have his IP address as Memphis Tennessee actually

[Lone_Ranger]

Thats where i go to school

[thatoneguy]

im from texas its what we say lol

 

Nobody has the need to type the phrase "you all" that much.

[Stangstag]

I have his IP address as Memphis Tennessee actually

 

I don't believe it. Just like I didn't believe that orioles troll. There has to be someone here manipulating their IP adress with some program

[Lone_Ranger]

i guess you guys (im getting better) dont wanna talk, which i suppose is understandable. Ill just observe from afar the rest of the series

[TheHurl]

Thats where i go to school

 

that might be ban worthy. f*** the Tigers, f*** the Vols, and really f*** the Buccaneers

[Lone_Ranger]

I dont know who you think "yall" is, but I think you have no idea what you are talking about. Just because the talking heads on ESPN were saying the Jays would roll the Rangers out of town please dont think intelligent Jays fans were thinking that.

 

We thought the Rangers were the hardest matchup in the AL.

 

But hey...it makes for a good narrative when you want to play the "everyone is disrespecting us" card.

I didnt have to look too hard to find more than a few people on here writing off the rangers. Not that i necessarily blame yall, almost everyone was, but still

Sup?

If it makes you feel any better, I was far from writing them off.. dreaded facing them actually. Worst fears realized x10000000 and the entire series so far has been a nightmare 22 years in the making. Hope this makes you feel better.

 

Edit: Hope this makes yall feel better.

[Trouba95]

Sup?

 

Can you do the GDT on Sun?

Astros fan here,

 

GTFO here brah. If the Jays get bounced, they're joining the Houston bandwagon. f*** the Texas Rangers and their mediocre baseball team.

hi everyone: i'm a first time poster in here and long time jays fan and i actually live in pittsburgh. i'm going to throw a couple of things out there and see what you guys think. we are being horribly out coached, and as much as the rangers fan speaks in "hillbilly" he actually has a point. the rangers are ahead 2-0 because of great (not good) base running. why in the world put in a pinch runner and not have him attempt to steal? we have not taken a single risk in this series. it is almost as if gibbons is so arrogant that he thinks anyone can hit a home run in the lineup with one swing. well, that might have been the case during the regular season; but this isn't the regular season anymore. back when we won our titles we had great base runners at the top of both world series teams. we obviously had henderson; that goes without saying, but alomar and white were both great base runners as well. my point is, in the post season you have to be able to get guys down to second base (especially with no outs) and we haven't done that. the teams in 92 and 93 did that with consistency and that is why we won. and i'm not even sure what to say about price, who is now 0-6 in the post season. it actually disgusts me when we pushed all in with him, and he went out and performed like he did? an ace is supposed to be an ace, and as far as those who think he should go on 3 days rest i say no way. stick with the original game plan and go with dickey. to perform like he did after resting for 11 days is an embarrassment and i actually think set the tone for this entire series if we don't end up pulling it out. and i have to be honest; i'm not exactly optimistic at this point. today we didn't play to win we played to try and not lose and that never works. and another issue i have is tulo; he has been totally non-existent. i know he might have a bit of rust, but are you serious what is he now 1-10 in two games? i hate to say this, but it is the truth. we deserve to be down 2-0 and it's shocking for me because i thought this team (and still think) is the best team in baseball.

we are being horribly out coached, and as much as the rangers fan speaks in "hillbilly" he actually has a point. the rangers are ahead 2-0 because of great (not good) base running. why in the world put in a pinch runner and not have him attempt to steal?

 

we have not taken a single risk in this series. it is almost as if gibbons is so arrogant that he thinks anyone can hit a home run in the lineup with one swing. well, that might have been the case during the regular season; but this isn't the regular season anymore. back when we won our titles we had great base runners at the top of both world series teams. we obviously had henderson; that goes without saying, but alomar and white were both great base runners as well.

 

my point is, in the post season you have to be able to get guys down to second base (especially with no outs) and we haven't done that. the teams in 92 and 93 did that with consistency and that is why we won.

 

and i'm not even sure what to say about price, who is now 0-6 in the post season. it actually disgusts me when we pushed all in with him, and he went out and performed like he did? an ace is supposed to be an ace, and as far as those who think he should go on 3 days rest i say no way.

 

stick with the original game plan and go with dickey. to perform like he did after resting for 11 days is an embarrassment and i actually think set the tone for this entire series if we don't end up pulling it out.

 

and i have to be honest; i'm not exactly optimistic at this point. today we didn't play to win we played to try and not lose and that never works.

 

and another issue i have is tulo; he has been totally non-existent. i know he might have a bit of rust, but are you serious what is he now 1-10 in two games? i hate to say this, but it is the truth. we deserve to be down 2-0 and it's shocking for me because i thought this team (and still think) is the best team in baseball.

 

TLDR -

Jays are being outcoached. Rangers are ahead 2-0 because of good baserunning. We aren't taking enough risks. Price is not getting the job done, we shouldn't have gone "all in" with him. Go with Dickey instead of Price on 3 days rest. We are playing to not lose instead of playing to win. Tulo has been a non-factor.

[thatoneguy]

today we didn't play to win we played to try and not lose and that never works.

 

This part is spot on especially regarding after the Rangers tied it.
