GDT: Texas Rangers @ Toronto Blue Jays (2/4)

[Casual Fan]

looking like jays will be swept.

[Stangstag]

That’s the Jays luck right there…terrible contact with ridiculous weird spin that falls in for a double

 

Rangers seems to be having great babip luck this series so far… fun

Looks like you’re a moron

This is about a s good as you’re gonna get from Ryu, this game is all on the offense right now.

[Cynical]

This team is embarrassingly anti-clutch. They need to get a sports therapist to work with their best players. This has gone on for multiple seasons now where players just wilt under pressure.

[BigCecil]

lol. The board is dead too now. This team compared to the Anthopolous teams. We've gone from electricity, 50,000 fans, 50 pages of posts in September contention game day threads to a dead ballpark, a dead board, a low energy no excitement September.

 

The Bo/Vlad era is over without a playoff win. Everyone knows it. By the end of the month there'll be 15,000 in the park, and less than 10 posts on the game day threads.

 

Not sure I agree with all that bud, but I do agree there is no comparison in the vibe between 15/16 and now. None at all.

There ya have it folks. Problem solved.

It feels similar to the 2016 season near the end.

 

Team was barely holding onto a playoff spot, lost an important series to the Os the last week of the season… then came up clutch against Boston to take the first wildcard spot. And beat the Os in a very tight wildcard game.

15/16 was lightning in a bottle. Its unreasonable to expect that type of hype when the team is consistently competitive. The team would have to be doing some Atlanta Braves s*** for that level of hype

Interesting. Who runs the Braves now?

I mean, it’s hard to take away from what Scherzer is doing, he’s throwing very well, using everything and using it well.

 

But now he’s hurt. That might give the Jays a chance here

[Kordesi]

Come on bats - do something ffs! My son is at the game today and tomorrow

The players on the 15/16 team had some charisma. Most of these guys have the personality of a paper plate, unfortunately.

2015 AA wasnt Braves era AA, so who cares

[jaysblue]

Rangers BP sucks! Not over yet!

[Pinkfloid]

Hard to see if it was a leg injury or something in his shoulder

[Masterbather]

Whomever played with the Max Scherzer voodoo doll, thanks. Probably too little too late. But the effort is appreciated.

Not sure. Maybe. The 16 wildcard game win and beating Texas probably sanitized the memories. But I never felt like we were out of games like it’s felt this year too often.

Gotta love all the armchair psychology going in these threads.

 

Last year “ everyone joking around all the time, nobody is serious about winning…”

 

This season… “everyone so serious, no one has any personality, can’t win….”

[Stangstag]

Well, here’s our chance now. Need to tear into their pen

[Masterbather]

It's cute how you think that.

[BigCecil]

Lol. Disagree completely.

Everyone favorite game show, guess that injury!

 

I was thinking his hip…or a lat.

[Omar]

No psychology in my comment.

[Laika]

Well, that's a minor break tonight

 

But possibly a huge break rest of season it Scherzer hits the IL

Jays have an entire department dedicated to both mental & physical development of players.

Yeah I'm saying neck or back
