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

[Omar]

The mighty AL East got castrated in the wildcard round.

Vlad getting picked off being a f***ing moron was the turning point in this game.

[saskjayfan]

Varsho our worst hitter to end the season, fire Schneider

 

Varsho hasn't handled velocity all year....why not put Schneider in who's a good fastball hitter...dumn.

[ValiantJaysFan]

I'm glad this season is over, this team was utter dogshit.

[Fastball21]

I'm done, see you next year...lol

[M.E.]

A real manager would be nice too. Someone who doesn’t have to learn on the job.

[PitaBaby]

This entire season needs to be erased from every history book.

[gruber92]

Ok.. So do you all see what I've been barking about for the past three years?

Schneider is no better than montoyo

[Terminator]

Varsho is our worst hitter. Why pinch run with Whit? They could have used him to pinch hit for Varsho

[travisinfla]

Berrios is like damn, basset shaking his head

[The Cats Ass]

Vlad getting picked off being a f***ing moron was the turning point in this game.

 

Pulling the SP that was on cruise control was the turning point. Vlad pickoff was the soul crusher

[harvey16]

Removing Berrios when they did was the turning point in this game

 

Your not winning any games when you score zero runs. 1 run in 2 games is a pathetic display. While I think it was crazy that pulled Berrios. That didn't cost them the game.

[Jays333]

The most unenjoyable 88 win team I have ever seen, with an utter embarrassing showing in the playoffs for a 2nd year straight, and an epically controversial decision to go with analytics and remove a pitcher who looked unhittable after 40 pitches is just a nice little cherry on top.

[ValiantJaysFan]

At least Belt likes the perogies in Toronto or some s***

[Doubleplay21]

Why are people blaming Schneider

The analytics team says let Varsho hit

Season post-mortem thread is up, almost zero to be happy about this year: https://www.bluejaysmessageboard.com/threads/11223-2023-Post-Mortem-Thread

[Krylian]

What a shocking end to the season.

[jaysthebest]

I told you guys Gray and the Twins pitchers are going to shutout our batters, and it turned out to be true.

 

2023 Blue Jays offense was always struggling against the great pitching.

[Terminator]

Pulling Berrios was stupid.

 

BUT Kikuchi got some ground balls that just happened to squirt through. And then it allowed them to mow down the Twins the rest of the game with their right handed relievers.

 

Just couldn't get hits with runners in scoring position and couldn't get extra base hits either. I think we had 1 all series which was a double.

The air was let out of the baloon when they pulled Berrios and allowed two runs. It was absolutely the turning point of the game, not just on the scoreboard but psychologically for the team. It was a complete and utter failure.

Could’ve been 0-0 going to extras though. Likely scenario if they let Berrios finish the 2nd time through at least. Min didn’t do much to deserve to win.

The plus with this loss, as much as I hate seeing the Jays getting eliminated, likely means serious changes will be made. Starting with Atkins and some of the coaching staff. This FO while having done great things has been mediocre.

 

So far under Atkins, Jays haven't won a Postseason game.

[TorontonianJD]

removing berrios when they did was the turning point in this game

 

bingo!!!

[Terminator]

So far under Atkins, Jays haven't won a Postseason game.

 

I wanted them to win just won game so bad so you couldn't use that line anymore. Bummer. Looks like I'll be hearing that all winter.

[Doubleplay21]

Schneider is a good people person and does not want to hurt feelings when they screw up

Noticed this in April

Do we really think Shapiro will fire Atkins? I think he will fire JS as a scapegoat, but I don't see him firing his buddy Atkins.

[Angrioter]

Bring AA back

I wish I didn't have to say it as well, but those are the facts man.

 

His tenure has been mediocre to date and the window keeps getting smaller. Serious changes need to be made this offseason.

[Daniel Labude]

Amazing, roster construction lost the playoffs again. This FO just has no ability to put together a great winner, just one that gets just enough wins to make it in
