  1. That was my comment at the end of last year’s dreadful ending. Not this years dreadful ending.
  2. A CEO that goes to a Board for approval on a payroll budget approval of over $200M but has little to no input into the make up of that number? "Gee I'm not sure...Ross and the boys tell me its a winner I guess...its a good deal...please approve". And doesn't review and endorse the break down of that spend, or any major investment for that matter? That would be completely contrary to any CEO behavior and public company process that I am familiar with. I accept that some baseball operations involvement he would not be involved with. Same for any baseball CEO. Where does the buck stop?
  3. Got to feel for Berrios. Good team mate. Did his best holding it together but looked like he was holding back tears in post game interview.
  4. I guess we aren't the 2022 Phillies after all. We were and are what we were all season. Good pitch, good D, no hit/power and make too many dumb outs on the bases.
  5. "Just get in and more of the same can happen" - Famous Last Words - 2023 Jays
  6. If they pull out a win we will all be laughing...and smiling.
  7. lol. f*** off. Knew that was comin'
  8. True. Emphasis on run prevention is only getting us so far. 2-0 feels like it might as well be 22-0 this year. Which is f***ed. We saw the underperformance all season and needed to add lumber at the deadline, even at a premium.
  9. If a POTUS can pardon themselves, it stands to reason Atkins can fire himself legally. #Logic
  10. He is fine if he moves to CF and hopefully gets back to a league average bat. It was just a major overpay. Moreno won't be a free agent until 2029 and hit a bomb last night.
  11. Atkins doesn't hire "true leaders" bud. He hires thems that follow their direction.
  12. Do people really think JS made that decision to take Berrios out? Seems to me that was a FO and analytics directive from on high. No matter what he says after.
  13. Still cant get over they left JBJ on the bench and put Tapia in the OF with a 8-1 lead.
  14. Ya, it gives and it takes. Espy our great PH option hit a dribbler 12 feet that loaded the bases.
  15. Espy hitting here is what happens when you don't get the bat(s) you knew you needed to get at the deadline. Edit: f***ing lucky
  16. 2023 ladies and gentlemen....Vlad picked off at 2B with a runner in front of him 2 runs down. Bo at the plate. Even if the challenge works...
  17. lol. Exactly. We dumped 5 gallons of gas on our heads and lit a match.
  18. lol. No s***. Even if we come back to win this game, it was so stupid and over done. Must come from the FO and analytics people. Honestly cant see JS making these calls on his own unless he got drunk with Walker before the game.
  19. As if Game 2 of last years wildcard series wasn't painful enough we have to set fire to ourselves a second year in a row.
  20. Didnt see this coming. JS only wishes he had Brad Hand and Tyler Chatwood on the roster to throw and really confuse them.
  21. Bunt....no thanks. "Small ball" advocates just came.
  22. come back 2 seamer on LHH Berrios key pitch. Beauty for K
  23. Gray is a lesson in patience with arms. Best season at 33. I remember him toiling away seasons in OAK and NY when younger. That was a major missed opportunity for us.
  24. I think this Board is an outlier. This board doesn't reflect other forums really. There is more balance here. Lots of Anti AA we are lucky to have Shatkins one or both commentary. Its much more gentle on the FO overall than you would see on most forums and in PHI, NY or Bos etc. Not a bad thing really. Most of the s*** on X and Reddit etc. is unreadable. If you ever listen to "Blue Jays Talk" after Jays games literally half the callers, who tune into every game, are borderline insane when it comes to ball. And the worst part is they think they know the game as they go down one rabbit hole after another.
