  1. Brownie pretty much has said this numerous times but alright!
  2. The Jays traded 50 HR's in Teo and LBJ. That power could have been useful. Belt had a really solid year but he's just a platoon guy. Let's be realistic. As for all those players underperforming, it was a good number. Shouldn't the FO do a better job at evaluating players? If they're so brilliant as some on here make them out to be, you shouldn't have had so many bats underperform as they did. An aging Springer who is past his prime. Was Vladdy really a superstar? Was Varsho really that great of a bat to trade away Moreno for? Was Chapman really a middle-of-the-order guy? Was Kirk's 2022 season or shall I say two hot months more of a mirage? As well, given the severe underperformance from this lineup, why didn't the FO address this issue earlier like in July or before the deadline? And please don't respond with "which bats were dealt at the deadline?" We don't know who else could have been available who wasn't moved.
  3. Why did the Jays sign Berrios to a $130M extension? Just to pitch 3 innings in a Postseason game? I agree, the outcome wasn't as bad as it was. Still just down 2-0 and had opportunities to tie the game or take the lead. Regardless, we're only in the 4th inning with a runner on first base in a 0-0 game. It's not like this was the 6th or 7th inning or heck wasn't like Berrios was laboring till that point in the game. Analytics have their place, but sometimes overthinking and overmanaging is a bit too much. Common sense has to come into play. As well, someone made a comment about the team morale after. You had Merrifield post game calling out that decision, supposedly Pete Walker was furious and I'm sure other players as well. There is a human element to this game. Players and pitchers aren't all robots and computers. Berrios didn't do anything to warrant him being pulled in the 4th inning.
  4. Aside from Bo's defense, he's been really the only bat who has performed offensively at a high level when healthy. Springer, Vladdy, Kirk, Chapman, Varsho were all disappointments this season.
  5. That would have turned out nice. Great suggestion. We won't ever know what other trade possibilities were out there for either Kirk or Moreno.
  6. Spanky does.
  7. Phillies actually aren't bad of a team this season. They could give the Braves some trouble.
  8. Got my NL predictions right. Had the Jays and Rays moving on in the AL in my bracket.
  9. Jays definitely overpaid for a .700 OPS CF bat. Could have just signed KK again instead of trading LGJ and Moreno for Varsho!
  10. I've heard different from people I know but alright!
  11. He has a say in the roster obviously. If you think otherwise, you're clueless!
  12. I really hope this was the last game we saw that bozo manage a game.
  13. Pitching was fantastic over these two games and all season long. Lineup was embarrassing this series FFS! Major changes need to be made from the top down this offseason. Something is fundamentally wrong with this group and its been that way all season.
  14. I thought this organization and FO were brilliant minds though and that we shouldn't question them? That's what I was told by a poster on this board.
  15. There is nothing wrong with analytics, but common sense has to come in when your No. 2 starter is dealing and who has looked his best all year! You didn't sign Berrios to a $130M extension in order to just pitch 3 innings in the Postseason FFS! Pulling Berrios didn't cost the Jays the game. They still scored zero runs. But at the time of the decision, the Twins scored 2 runs. Regardless, a BS call by Atkins and this FO.
  16. A bad day for the baseball nerds!
  17. Leafs season starts next Wednesday! Go Leafs Go!
  18. Yeah I said a couple of weeks ago when criticizing Atkins and this FO that they could have done a better job at improving the defense without sacrificing that much offense. Yet I was attacked by even suggesting that.
  19. It didn't work. We're talking about a 0-0 game in the 4th inning, not a 0-0 game in the 7th. My question is even if the Jays won this game or heck won in extra innings, which arms would be available tomorrow?
  20. Wow, different tone now!
  21. I think Shapiro is pretty much in control of this roster and everything in terms of baseball ops. He's not just a guy doing renovations. Atkins I believe is probably a puppet as well. That's why AA didn't want to stay. He wanted to do his job and not have someone else overlooking or calling the shots
  22. I bet Shapiro makes some baseball decisions. He doesn't just make decisions on renovations lol.
  23. At least under AA, this team came within striking distance of a World Series. We haven't even got a single Postseason win under Shapiro/Atkins.
