GDT: Wildcard (game 2) Toronto Blue Jays @ Minnesota Twins (4:38 et)

[Jonn]

I don't want Varsho on this team next year. I don't care how good of defensive player her is. Dude is useless at the plate. Not another damn AB.

 

Take your L on the trade.

[saskjayfan]

1 run in 15 innings

 

Why put further stress on an offense that has no confidence...we couldn't afford to give up the first run.

[Masterbather]

Will Varsho ever get a hit on a high fastball?

[el duque]

Get in to see Varsho K, he is very consistent

Number 9 hitter next season

You're going to see him and you're going to like it. You're going to like it a lot.

Moreno is starring in the playoffs. No chance in hell do they take the L until they clean house up top

lol you are stuck with him through 2026

 

glove only corner outfielders only work if you have studs in centre and right so yea

[Daniel Labude]

Another CF flyout lmao

[BigCecil]

If he's a true leader he does what is right. Cause you know post game he is going to own it even though it wasn't all him. The true culprits will sit back behind in the anonymity of their laptops.

 

Atkins doesn't hire "true leaders" bud. He hires thems that follow their direction.

[Yorkshire Blue Jay]

Do people really think JS made that decision to take Berrios out?

 

Seems to me that was a FO and analytics directive from on high. No matter what he says after.

 

Whoever did make the decision needs to be looking for a new job in the coming days. It smacks of a lack of flexibility or trust in your pitcher you invested seven years in.

 

Similar to pulling Gausman last year with the big lead when you only pay him $25m

[Delgalladay]

Attaboy Belt. This team was so much more fun to watch when Chapman and Belt were out.

Lmao

[Omar]

Looks like we got April Brandon Belt back.

[frizzer1]

Put him in elevator shoes and he might reach those high fastballs.

[DigitalRock]

Putrid . This doesn’t feel like a playoff team. Lack professionalism or something

[ValiantJaysFan]

They've already given up, can see the body language. It's over.

[bones10]

Is belt crippled again would be nice if he told the team before the series started lol

[ilovejohnschneider]

this is one of my favourite blue jays teams ever. i love this team! lets go blue jays!

He is fine if he moves to CF and hopefully gets back to a league average bat.

 

It was just a major overpay. Moreno won't be a free agent until 2029 and hit a bomb last night.

[Doubleplay21]

You have to give the analytics team credit.

They put a weak hitting team in the playoffs

[Omar]

Atkins doesn't hire "true leaders" bud. He hires thems that follow their direction.

 

I know, and you're right. Doesn't make the realization any easier though.

[Laika]

I can't believe there is even a single player in major league baseball stupid enough to get picked off in that situation

[Jays24]

Atkins doesn't hire "true leaders" bud. He hires thems that follow their direction.

 

And Shapiro doesn't hire true GMs... he hires pussies who bow down to him. It's why AA said f*** off to him

[leaffie]

If the decision to remove Berrios was not Schneider’s and it was from the FO. He should have had the guts to stand up for his team and do the right thing.

 

No matter what, he is the manager and it is on his shoulders.

[philly30]

this is one of my favourite blue jays teams ever. i love this team! lets go blue jays!

 

Is this a joke?

[DigitalRock]

Who the f*** is Brock Stewart?

 

Judge, jury and executioner

[glory]

Do people really think JS made that decision to take Berrios out?

 

Seems to me that was a FO and analytics directive from on high. No matter what he says after.

 

Kikuchi was warming up either in the 1st or 2nd inning. I know JS loves pulling starters early, especially when they are doing well, but this call isn't on him. It's on whoever made the call above him.

[JaysAllMighty]

They played like this the entire season, why would it change now?

[thatoneguy]

What have Blue Jays fans done to deserve such utter torture?
