People will complain about Gausman and Berrios, but the pitching was fine overall.
The offense was a major problem, just as it was all season. The RISP issues we had all year. The exact same s***. Stupid mistakes on the bases. Terrible approach.
At this point do we continue blaming the players??
Or do we blame the coaches for not coaching properly??
We can’t have an entire roster of stupid players like this just by chance. It can’t be a coincidence can it??
Some simple s*** like this, the front office should know and relay to the players. Maybe Gausman knew but just missed his spots. Don’t throw him a fastball anywhere near the heart of the zone
Well said. The front office definitely deserves criticism, but simply put this lineup should be hitting far better than they are.
For some reason the Jays always seem to win the “on paper” discussion. The roster looks great on paper but they never meet expectations.
Maybe that’s a failure on Atkins part for allowing a dogshit coach in staff to run the team.
Who knows. People seem to forget Kirk also looked like a stud before this season began. Wonder what Kirk could’ve fetched. We’ll never know.
It will be interesting to see who has the better bat going forward, Kirk or Moreno
The Vladdy and Chapman flyballs are the story of the season. Our guys keep trying to go oppo but for some reason the power just isn’t there.
They should have switched gears months ago when it was clear the oppo approach wasn’t working out, but the entire lineup has failed to make any adjustments or climb out of the hole they’re in.
They don’t seem to hit bad pitching particularly well either. The hitting approach has just not been good all year. Consistently get shut down by 5+ ERA starters
The game was close, but that 8th inning is a great example of how bad the approach is at times. To let the Twins off the hook that easily that quickly was embarrassing.
