Yep - Jays f***ed up again. But to be fair, there's probably a -7% chance of O'Neill doing well here. Nobody excels in TO. Donny baseball and the rest of the morons can't coach for s***.

I'm not though. I just don't see the point in optimism anymore. It's pretty obvious this team is a disaster. Literally nothing can go right for this team unless it's FA signings or our below average, journeyman type prospects. Vlad, Kirk, Manoah, Pearson, Biggio, etc. - all our home grown prospects are f***ing terrible. Our current prospects don't look like they'll ever be much. Best shot is a guy who can't stay healthy or throw strikes. Barriera looks like a huge bust. Bo won't re-sign here, he's gone Varsho deal is pathetic. Guy is s***. Springer is a shadow of his former self (who I loved) Mazya is f***ed Only super old managers win in the playoffs - we have a tomato. Literally nothing goes right for this f***ing team and there's almost NOTHING of interest for a team battling for 4th or 5th place. Nothing in the present, nothing in the future. Hoping for a guy from India and Bobby Bonilla's kid (or cousin, or whatever) to lead this team in 2030. TB can lose their best player and trade their best players away, bring in nobodies, bat Amed Roserio 5th and Harold f***ing Ramirez 3rd and still be good, while we watch the 5th percentile results play out in TO.

Just being real. Ricky can't stay healthy, can't work deep into games and walks too many. I'd suggest there's a 10% chance he'll ever hold down a spot in any rotation at this point. His upside now is that of Josh Hader IMO. Which would be great, but when you had 2 of the better SPing prospects in baseball and one is a 6th inning mop up man and the other might be a late inning reliver - that f***ing sucks.

I mean he's in the conversation as the best LH SPing prospect in baseball. It seems realistic for fans to expect him to be a major contributor moving forward. But Pearson did too and this team is cursed, so I fully expect he'll never amount to s***. Must be the coaches or Atkins fault. We can't develop s*** and Ricky already looks like a lost cause.

More like 7!

Sad to see that Tork looks like he's joining Mize as the latest #1 overall bust. Tigers must feel like Jays with Vlad to some extent. Still hope for Riley Greene, but Baez is a disaster and I'm not seeing much else in their lineup except Carpenter. Colt Keith might be something I guess? Maybe Gio Urshela and Mark Canha can carry them to the playoffs? Imagine taking Mize and Tork 1st overall and them turning out like this. Sad.

Really? The guy's been a dumpster fire every single season outside of 2021 (when he was great, with a really high BABIP)

Braves complete the comeback. What a pleasure it is watching a real baseball team. They took advantage of some bad defense in the 9th and then took the W in the 9th.

Guy is s***. He's basically a DH who can't hit at this point. What a bum.

Not true. Offense and HRs win in the playoffs.

Great defense by Gurriel. Braves/DBacks are tied.

Did JS manager well today? or get lucky?

He doesn't give a f***. He's been an entitled child his whole life and at this point, it's somewhat irrelevant what he does with his MLB career. At any point, he can go back to the DR and live off his earnings, momma's cooking and do whatever the f*** he wants.

And we're momentarily not in last place. That's nice. We may want to enjoy this for a brief second.

Man - this isn't over yet. Green looks like a waste at $10M

When? September again when we're fighting for 5th place?

Me? WTF, I jumped off the ship 2 days ago man. There are like 3 people on this board who like the Blue Jays anymore. It's kind of fun to just blindly complain about everything and make s*** up. Just pretend you have the emotional intelligence of a tampon and start typing!

Knowing this team, he's due for a 100 wRC+, 2 WAR season.

Why do people still act surprised when Vlad looks useless at baseball?

Mayza is f***ed. Atkins ought to have addressed this more in the offseason.

I think I read a few days ago that he had resumed running. He'll be ready to go in August 2025 at this rate.

This bullpen is a due for a blown save isn't it? Yanks have been clutch all year - made the Astros pen look like it was the Rockies. Oh GOD, here comes Genesis!

Sure he can - poorly.

The entire pitching staff may be better options than Varsho is at the plate. There are no shortage of options.

What? Defense is overrated.
