He was so dialed in

 

Im sick to my stummy

 

I know, so sweet seing Berrios pumped up and totally dialed in. He would have gone 7/8 innings easily, give the offense a chance. ....Like wtf are you doing

The offense were given multiple chances lol. Gausman didn't have it in the first game, but the bullpen locked the f*** in and blanked the Twins the rest of the way for 4 innings. Game 2, Kikuchi BLEW UP...to the extent of 2 runs, and that was it. The bullpen following him yet again completely shut down the Twins for another 3.1 IP. What did the offense do? The pitching or controversial Berrios to Kikuchi decision didn't lose us the series.

Maybe the decision maker (or makres) is at fault? ever consider that? in which case it would explain the lack of run support as well (on top of the idotic move to trake out Berrios). Atkins has to go, a total change in philosphy is needed and that's not happening with the current regime

I would not be at all surprised to see an Atkins resignation before the New Year. He may step down to some other position in the org and Click to take the reins. Then some time before spring training he will get a job elsewhere and leave quietly. That's how Shapiro does things. It's his way.

We can only hope.

 

The Jays need a new front office. But I doubt Shapiro is going anywhere until the RC renos are done.

 

But at the very least, Atkins needs to go.

I’d leave too

 

He still wants to start and I don't see a way to get him starting time next season. Varsho will be in CF where he's a younger and better defender (at this point in their careers) with more offensive upside. Unless he wanted to be a 4th OF (which he likely doesn't) I don't see a way for him to actually make sense on the roster.

Really no interest at all in Belt again

 

Don't need a guy who strains his back 4x per year then takes a week every time to find his swing and is just a coinflip to be healthy and helpful come crunch time.

Yeah he's running on fumes. That was a nifty signing but I wouldn't roll the dice on him.

I feel like the most likely of the FAs to come back (of the ones anyone actually cares about anyway) might actually be Chapman? He was dogshit with the bat from April onwards, but on the whole his numbers over the season are basically identical to last year's. Everyone keeps saying "he's not the defender he was once", which is probably true, but by every metric available he was actually a better defender this season than the last. His avg EV was excellent (98th percentile), barrel rate and hard hit rate were elite (98th and 100th!! percentile respectively), he didn't chase much, and both his sprint speed and baserunning value were once again good.

 

Maybe you hope he takes the QO, or try to offer him a 1/20-22 pillow deal, where he'll spend all offseason getting rid of the ******** opposite field approach and come into Spring launching bombs to the pull side, with some regression happening during the season, to once again put up yet another 3-4 win season. There's basically no reason to believe Chapman will be a < 3 win player in 2024, his mean is exactly that of 2022-2023, which were practically the exact same season on the aggregate.

I'd love to have Chapman back. I suppose there is a chance.

 

I think KK has a chance to come back because he'll likely be cheap again. I'm going to get attacked by many posters for even suggesting it because everybody has us signing solely offensive position players this offseason but I could see it happening.
