I think Schneider was always the long term plan. He was going to be given this opportunity. One game sample doesn’t change anything from the clubs point of view.
He knows Bo and Vlad better than anyone in the org. The two faces of the franchise. I’m completely fine with handing him the reigns.
It’s not a thesis lmao it’s an observation
One that many others recognized as well
You’re free to think that nothing was wrong with the compete level, but people with more knowledge of the situation than you disagree.
False equivalency. I think you understand that winning % cannot measure individual willingness to not lose.
Everyone likes to win. Not everybody hates to lose to the same degree. There were times this year where it was completely fair to question how much some of these guys hated to lose. I said it before but there was a serious lack of urgency most of the year. Schneider had alluded to this.
I agree with you 100%
Unless you hate losing more than you love winning people won’t understand this critique
The 2022 Toronto Blue Jays did not appear to hate losing more than they loved winning
All season long it appeared as if there was never any urgency. Someone else will pick us up. It will all be fine.
Probably because typically that’s the managers job
It’s it possible the brain trusts upstairs made the decision? Yes. But to ask why you assume the manager did isn’t really logical
I guess you gotta move whoever fetches the biggest relative haul like Jim has been saying.
If Kirk gets you a young stud SP with 3+ years you have to think about that
Jansen with two years remaining is only going to appeal to teams who plan on competing and might not want to subtract from their big league roster. St. Louis would be a logical partner if they were willing to move major league pieces.
Moreno is the biggest question mark. I won’t be upset if they move him to address other needs but I get the feeling he’s the safest bets to stay out of the three.
Team really isn’t that bad even heading into next year except the f***ing bullpen is garbage
Like everyone else rolls out guys throwing 98 with nasty sliders. The Jays have Adam Cimber and Jimmy Garcia.
Oh well. I don’t take these losses as hard as I used to. A lot more to life than the outcome of a baseball game. Plus postseason ball is the best time of year no matter what.
