    That could have been A LOT worse. Wow.

    Bauer seems way too outspoken for the Jays front office, but he'd be a great signing.

    It's probably too convoluted to execute in reality, but I think there needs to be some level of benefit to the higher seed in an expanded field due to the randomness of a short series (Dodgers/Brewers, for example), plus I think having every game in a 3 game series being an elimination game is probably good for networks. TV ratings are down for practically every sport during the pandemic, but I'm curious to see how the MLB playoff ratings do. If it turns out viewers like this format, then maybe fans don't really care about what is fair or not. More teams = more fanbases engaged. 12-14 teams making it with the best team in each league getting a bye and the other division winners getting to choose their opponents during the WC round is a good compromise, though.

    I'm not saying the current team doesn't have personality, I'm saying I don't want to root for a team like that. The best thing about the 2015 team was that we had a bunch of arrogant MF'ers who would cuss the other team out, bat flip, etc, etc. The fact that they were good made it even better, but it was fun as a fan to root for. I don't want the Jays to become a robotic team like the Rays, don't even care if they're good. But that's just me. The Rays have a lot of stans on this board so I'm probably in the minority.

    Unfortunately this "bastardized Rays" type of managing style is probably the norm with Atkins/Montoyo around. Even if the moves end up working or make sense at the time, being a fan of a personality-less, formulaic, numbers-obsessed team like the Rays is not appealing at all.

    The problem is the Jays intentionally wrote it up to use that bullpen for at least 9 outs before the game even started. Shoemaker and Ray were both doing well when they were taken out.
  7. glory
    Ray was doing well but the nerds in the front office only wanted 3 from him, so let’s take his ass out too. Cole giving the Jays what they deserve tonight.
  8. glory
    f***, he actually hit that well.
  9. glory
    Teoscar better do something here because I'm not convinced Montoyo would pinch hit for Villar.
  10. glory
    Missing a pitch just to see bored old people in the stands was amazing.
  11. glory
    How many innings did the computer tell Ross to keep Ray in for before the game? If it was 3, then take him out now. No excuses.
  12. glory
    I wanted no part of Cleveland's rotation, but I think I would have rather gotten shutout and embarrassed by them than the Rays in Tampa. At least I like some of the players on the Indians and they don't irritate me.

    Thankfully Cash has taken Snell out. Their pen is very good, but the Jays looked like s*** against Snell.
  14. glory
    I remember Walker being upset for being pulled in one of the games this year as well. Atkins wants to play bootleg Rays, and Charlie's his puppet, so this is what we can expect in the future.
  15. glory
    Villar getting a single plate appearance in the playoffs is sad. Even Panik is a better option against a lefty.
  16. glory
    Yup. No doubt this decision was above Montoyo's head, so I'm not even going to blame him. This org wants to be the Rays, and it's sickening.
  17. glory
    Don't even care if Ray f***s this up. Unless Shoe is hurt, there's no way his pitch limit was 35 pitches when he threw 54 in his last start. Jays can f*** off if they want to be bootleg Rays. /rant
  18. glory
    Shoe is out? ********. He’s thrown 35 f***ing pitches!
  19. glory
    Rays are going to catch everything that stays in the park. I truly hate that team/stadium.
  20. glory
    Yeah the slow throw by Biggio made that DP nearly impossible, although I’ll never trust Villar defensively to do anything.
  21. glory
    This is the most Trop start to a game possible.
  22. glory
    Joel Sherman had an idea on the MLB Network that I really liked regarding the Wild Card round (assuming expanded playoffs sticks): if the higher seed wins Game 1, then they win the series, but if the higher seed loses Game 1, then it's officially a 3 game series. Which means every game in that round would be an elimination game for one of the teams. It would solve this thread's argument about which game(s) matter more.
  23. glory
    No idea why the Jays place less importance on who bats 3rd, maybe there's some analytical reasoning behind it. I feel like they've made some weird decisions on that spot in particular a lot of the season (Jansen, Tellez when he was struggling, Shaw, and for some reason I vaguely remember Villar in that spot). Whatever. At least the right guys are playing.
  24. glory
    I think the World Series might have breaks in between games, but not the WC, DS, or LCS.
  25. glory
    If the Jays made the ALDS and Ryu started Game 1, he'd have to pitch on 3 days rest to come back in Game 5. No way that happens. He'd start one game in the DS. That's likely the Jays reasoning here. He can only start once in the WC round, and he apparently prefers more rest, so as long as he pitches one of the first two games, that's all that really matters. Just have to fluke into a Game 1 win.
