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

[JFD]

Down with a wimpy whimper

[Daniel Labude]

Bo is just Arraez without the actual hitting skills

[ValiantJaysFan]

Just going through the motions now, they know it's over.

[BigCecil]

Absolutely, this is on the bats really though, 1 run in 16 innings. Need a crooked number like right now.

 

True. Emphasis on run prevention is only getting us so far. 2-0 feels like it might as well be 22-0 this year. Which is f***ed. We saw the underperformance all season and needed to add lumber at the deadline, even at a premium.

[DigitalRock]

lol biggio . Football tackle?

[ilovejohnschneider]

oh no! if biggio is hurt he won't be available for game 3!

[Abomination]

Biggio with the hardest hit of the game.

[TorontonianJD]

I would like someone in the Toronto media to ask Atkins/Schneider about analytics and the decision today.

 

Love Siddal saying it’s inexcusable.

[M.E.]

Worst part is I broke my computer after the Chapman DP

[John_Havok]

Biggio with the hardest hit of the game.

 

Of the series for the Jays

[Omar]

It didn’t work, not sure what he’s trying to say. But at the same time, doesn’t matter if you can’t score 1 run

 

It matters. It changed the whole tone and tenor of the game. Everyone could feel it. The failure was palpable.

[BlueJays]

3 outs away from 0-6 Vladdy/Bo/Atkins/Shapiro ERA.

[gruber92]

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

 

This.. Shapiro needs to hire a real GM and step the f*** off.

[ilovejohnschneider]

3 outs away from 0-6 Vladdy/Bo/Atkins/Shapiro ERA.

 

lets hope they can still pull out the win! positivity for everyone!

[G-Snarls]

Can't score 2 f'n runs in a game

[THANOS]

Breaking up the barrio, trading Moreno and Guriel for Varsho, and now this analytic driven approach with no willingness to change plans when Berrios was showing elite form is enough for me to say im fully out on Atkins no matter what else he has done.

 

I agree, I'm done with him. Shapiro is cool because of the performance complex and renos, but Atkins is terrible.

[connorp]

It matters. It changed the whole tone and tenor of the game. Everyone could feel it. The failure was palpable.

 

Yeah I’ll stop arguing otherwise

The name is to score runs. Total fail by Atkins not Schneider

[Jays333]

Why cant this team just lose quietly, they have to lose in the some of the biggest, most embarrassing, twitter trending ways possible. Two f***ing years in a row!

[tazsub3]

3 outs away from 0-6 Vladdy/Bo/Atkins/Shapiro ERA.

 

in the meantime, AA has a world series, best team in baseball again.......

when you managed by incompetence , you tend to get that

[ilovejohnschneider]

dont forget/overlook run prevention! that is very important too and the jays were elite at it! it was very fun to watch the incredible defensive display all year!

[Jonn]

I’m still waiting for this Powerful Blue Jays offense I was promised from MLB Twitter

[Abomination]

I would like someone in the Toronto media to ask Atkins/Schneider about analytics and the decision today.

Twitter absolutely blew up over it. They're going to be answering questions for the next week regardless of what happens the rest of this game.

[tazsub3]

daamn man, i miss the expos, they were poor as f***, but they were managed like an elite team.

Jays rich as f***, and managed like a compete morons,.

[DigitalRock]

Weird seeing guys laughing in the dug out right now

[Captain_Obvious]

Blue Jays scored 1 run in the wild card series.

[Doubleplay21]

Still think Schneider did a good job with .240 hitters

[Carlos Danger]

Defensive WAR scores runs they said lmao

 

It means you don't have to score as many runs, or if you have a 5 run lead you should be able to keep it. But yea, doesn't score any runs for you.

At least Bo hasn't barreled through an OF yet
