When you try your best, but you don't succeed

When you get what you want, but not what you need

When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep

Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face

When you lose something you can't replace

When you love someone, but it goes to waste

Could it be worse?

End of an era folks.

 

2 ALCS in a row is nothing to sneeze at, but the way they sputtered out both times is not fun to watch.

 

Time for players who do more than they say, I guess.

 

Hope Eddy is back. Jose, you were a legend, but time to move on if you want more than 2 years.

 

I would've liked to see some fight in the team but you can't take anything away from the opponent either. Hope they get pummeled in the WS though :)

WOW. I thought he was still trailing Fernandez, mind you with 400 games played less than Delgado and Fernandez. People who s*** on him should be ashamed.

 

He was the sole reason to watch the Blue Jays in each of the 2010-2014 seasons. Could have had the MVP award in 2011 too, amazing guy and a good leader when this team needed one.

The biggest regret we should have as Blue Jays fans is he didn't get started a few months earlier. If he had that might have been enough offense to convince Halladay to stay. Imagine how the team would have been with Roy still on it in 2010.

Wow...looked at Robbie Alomar on that list; how does he have a negative defence WAR? That's ridiculous.

 

Probably a combo of modern metrics not being the most accurate recalling older players and him being overrated defensively.

Joe Carter isn't even on that page... he is on the next. Carter gets beat by Hinske and Lawrie...

Tough way to end things. I felt we were setup well too push this series further. I'm confident in our management to produce a roster good enough to compete again.

 

As always it's nice to banter back and forth with you guys. The good and the bad. Hopefully its an enjoyable off-season.

So I'm not being snarky or anything, this is a genuine question: did you watch Alomar play? I find it hard to to overrate him defensively. He was regarded as the top second baseman in the game, defensively, during his time in Toronto.

They're not modern. Anything before 2002 is a s***** Retrosheet UZR proxy that shouldn't be taken seriously.

When I lived in Chicago I had the pleasure to watch Sandberg play all the time and he was amazing but Alomar is the finest second baseman I have ever seen play.

Indians are just on a tear and Miller is a one man wrecking machine buzz saw who I wish had been traded to a NL team

I feel like 6 out of 10 times the Jays roster beats the Indians roster as was constructed for this series

 

Random thoughts:

 

We should have gotten to their starters

 

Our starting rotation was much better than theirs

 

Lindor is f'n awesome

 

They have a better manager

Yep...our downfall was the plate discipline. Everyone was trying to hit the 5 run home run instead of just trying to put the ball in play. That killed the offence.

I'm not going to complain about this season. I wasn't convinced we would even get as far as the ALCS, which in an odd way makes losing to a depleted Indians lineup kind of suck, but still. After 20 years of utter futility I'll take these last two seasons in a heartbeat.

 

Looking forward I'm not particularly relishing the prospect of Billy Butler as our next DH, but I'll take Josh Reddick as our new RF please. Also, Brandon Moss might be a nice pick up in LF.
