This game feels like it's 17-3. Part of it is also that the Red Sox take for f***ing ever to pitch the ball and we're closing in on 5 hours by the 11th inning.

Now that we are down 3 runs in extra innings cue Gibbons to look at his lineup card to see who's on the bench.

 

So dumb. So predictable.

Not in my DNA to want them to lose but it's hard to watch this season.

 

I hate losing too but the writing is on the wall. I don't want this team to try again next year when they can't even win a winnable as hell 2nd wild card this year. Just trade JD, Osuna, etc, and start the rebuild now instead of prolonging it. I mean losing for a few years is going to suck but we all knew this was coming eventually. Just wish the run lasted longer.

Couldn't agree more...trade Tulo, Morales, Bautista, Happ, and whoever else. We had a good run at it but since the new management came in, we are horrible. Get rid of them too! Time for fans to stop going again...send a real message.

Topnotch first post. Upper echelon quality.

You think it is time to add more pieces to this sinking ship? What is your solution? Should we not salvage draft picks etc...? Thanks for a nice welcome.

Lol.

 

well, at least he didn't make a thread saying as much. Points for that.

 

I am open to hear what you guys think...I am as frustrated as the rest of you. I bought season seats this year and am regretting it. Help me out here.

Lol no man, the front office is good. The roster they inherited just had an expiration date. They got all they could get out of it. Now time to pivot.

Ok if the front office is good, tell me why they couldn't land Edwin even after he signed for less than their original offer? Something wrong here. I understand Morales is having a marginally better year (even though he can't hit a curve) but wouldn't you rather have had Edwin?

And living out in Calgary I am sure your attendance and financial support of the Jays is through the roof...consider your audience before making rude comments next time.

Every night in my dreams

I see you, I feel you

That is how I know you, go on

Far across the distance

And spaces between us

You have come to show you, go on

Near, far, wherever you are

I believe that the heart does go on

Once more you open the door

And you're here in my heart and my heart will go on and on

I'd like to believe that if we are complaining about Zeke & Gibby then this team should be leading the division because we don't have anything else to complain about.

 

78 games in and Tulo & Morales are replacement level players. No manager can fix that and while Gibby is just doing desperate things it's simply not his fault where we sit. I don't disagree with you, he's made a lot of illogical decisions, especially of late and probably out of desperation but he can't just grab a PS4 controller and start hitting the ball for them.

 

Yes and somewhat prophetically, the Jays who had the most runners LOB in this game were Morales (4) and Tulowitzki (5). Everyone focuses on who should be hitting 1-4 in the batting order, BUT if you have stiffs in those 5 and 6 holes, it really does lead to the kind of ineptitude we have been seeing too much of lately.

 

Only way to initiate change is to force it. Jays need to start losing April style and maybe this lifeless roster will get a makeover.

 

I think the key question is what type of makeover will happen. My guess is that for business reasons, the Jays will attempt to do a 'quick retool'. With some luck they could again be a wild card contender in 2018.

 

must be nice to have a team that can hit with risp

 

Yeah BUT Boston went 6 for 23 with RISP (.261) versus Toronto's 2 for 7 (.286). When you consider how many base runners that Boston squandered, the Jays were actually lucky to make it to the 11th inning.

 

Overall, I again see the problem that the Jays' offense put up a crooked number, then went comatose. In this case only 1 run in 10 innings after the 1st inning outburst.

You are clearly a piece of s*** human being since you think you deserve more respect due to how much money you spend. Get the f*** out of here you slime ball

I'm quite sure he is a troll so while he is a piece of s*** human being (arguably just disturbed) it's not worth getting riled up and/or giving him the attention that he craves.

The FO has done a pretty good job, do you expect them to work miracles in the 1.5 seasons they have been here? This team is old, it was inevitable they would go down this path eventually.

We had a good run, back to back ALCS appearances, a couple of classic ALDS were we kicked the s*** out of the rangers, spanking their two top aces at their own park. The batflip, the walk off, the Donaldson dash, the three or four unforgettable home playoff games (15 ALDS gm5, 15 ALCS gm5, 16 WC gm, 16 ALDS gm3), all in the space of 12 months.

A bunch of us in here have season tickets and have spent a shitload of money. Its tough for any team to continually win in any sport, let alone baseball, where only 1/3 of the teams see the post season.

The future should be bright for this franchise and I have faith in the FO.

Why is Loup still on a major league team? He is supposed to be a left handed specialist (LOOGY) and he can't get either left-handers or right-handers out. Just send him down to the minors indefinitely, or release the guy. Anyone other pitcher on the Bisons has to be better than Loup.
