Stop changing the narrative. Nobody said the Jays were awful in 2022 or 2023. They were solid teams, though most of the criticism was that the front office did very little to address the issues plaguing those teams, when it was evident over a large chunk of the season that they had to improve in certain areas, but didn't. The Jays did it three years in a row? I thought they missed the Postseason by one game in 2021?

Yeah I don't think the Blue Jays would be able to even come close if they had all the injuries and bad luck the Braves had this season. Like heck, the Blue Jays lost the fewest games to the IL as BigCecil stated. This team just wasn't built well enough this season, that's the reality. The front office did a poor job. The Jays didn't suck because they lost Romano and because Swanson was awful. Yes it didn't help the cause, but they're not excuses.

Looked impossible to stop. They have so many weapons offensively! Still have Baltimore as one of the top teams to beat in the AFC. Bills are in the second tier behind them and the Chiefs. Chiefs didn't look good yesterday but still pulled out a win. I like the Ravens still better, but can never count out the Chiefs.

Haha would be cool. I could see Posey hiring one of the guys from the World Series years. Would be awesome to see Timmy or Bumgarner as pitching coach. Gotta hire Brandon Belt as 1B coach now as well haha.

I stated last year that I wish the Jays did more at the trade deadline to address the issues in the lineup for the Postseason. Never once criticized their rotation or bullpen last season and even said that's a strength. They definitely were a team that could have went on a run, but without any improvements to the lineup, didn't have my hopes high. I didn't expect that bats to all of a sudden turn around at Game 163 after they struggled heavily over 162 games. As well, nothing wrong in discussing the strengths of the D'Backs roster from last Postseason. Seems like when you talk about the strengths or have any discussion regarding any team, some of you lose it and freak out!
-
How did the Yankees do this season? Weren't you crapping on them during ST as well, saying they were old and would suck? You're on a roll Term.

Damn two sports legends on the same day. Pete Rose and Dikembe Mutombo as well.

General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2024)
jaysblue replied to Ryu In My House's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Please stop it. This team was flawed from the get go this season. Stop giving excuses for this front office! -
Madison Bumganer hired as pitching coach.
-
Yeah career minor leaguer as well who got his first taste of the Show this season. Great story!
-
2.4 WAR last season but yeah, they could definitely use an upgrade at SS next season. Do the Braves have a potential package for Bo?
-
Cy Holmes looking good through his first two innings. How deep can he go?
-
To you I suppose it's an enigma and just pure randomness as always!
-
AA wants to catch the flight to Athens tonight!
-
Chris Sale is injured which is the only reason why he isn't starting in a must-win game. They used their other starters prior like Fried, Lopez and Morton during their weekend series against the Royals. So I guess if their rotation was lucky in 2024, would you use that same description to describe the Jays rotation in 2023? Just curious. As well, losing an ace like Strider and being able to eventually replace him with Spencer Schwellenbach is quite impressive. Yeah a lot of their other arms like Elder, Winans, Vives and Waldrep didn't work out. Wonder what would happen if the Jays lost Gausman?
-
Jays could have used Teo's bat in 2023 and most likely he puts up better numbers hitting at the RC instead of Safeco. And yeah, gives the Jays the inside edge to sign him to an extension. ] As well, you missed the essence of my argument. You shouldn't have to trade away a solid everyday player for a reliever. If the Jays had a better front office, they should have found and developed their own version of Swanson rather than trading away a solid outfielder for one.
-
lol this is embarrassing.
-
Nah, I just don't kiss the floor he walks on like you and some other posters on this board do! Atkins could do no wrong in your view!
-
We'll see a lot of Jesse Chavez in Game 2.
-
Yeah damn. Not liking their chances. Looks like Mets could possibly sweep the doubleheader and paving the way for the D'Backs to sneak in.
-
Just got home and missed a pretty entertaining Game 1. Will have to check the highlights and watch Game 2 later. But wow looking at the boxscore, Braves pen blew it that 8th inning.
-
Yikes seriously? If they lose Game 2, imagine the backlash they would receive.
-
Yeah he's been a godsend for the Braves this season especially after losing Strider. I remember earlier this season some posters on here were criticizing the Braves rotation and their depth.
-
Diamondbacks won 89 games this season you dingleberry lol. Before you start crapping on other teams, how did the Blue Jays do?
-
If you're the Mets, you probably want to win the first game, so Atlanta is forced to use Chris Sale in Game #2 and not in the WC series. Otherwise, if Atlanta wins Game #1, I'm sure Jesse Chavez will likely get the start and eat a bunch of innings haha. Also, both teams are huge division rivals, so knocking one out of the Postseason is something I think either team would look forward to. Yes the team that wins Game #1 will most likely cover innings with other arms they don't plan on using in the WC matchup for Game #2, but they're not going to wave the white flag. Both games should still be competitive.
