DBacks are the only hope for a winner that I can actually enjoy.

Does the World Series have a credibility problem?
Masterbather replied to Marew's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Nope, that's the way the playoffs works, in all sports. Does the Superbowl have a credibility problem? Do the NBA finals have a credibility problem? Does the Stanley Cup have a credibility problem? At the end of the day the champion is the one holding the trophy. Nobody questions that, if you want to have a private celebration for the team that won the most games have fun. It'll be a lonely celebration. Besides, the point of sports ultimately is entertainment. Nobody really cares if the team with the most wins in the regular season wins the championship. Every team enters the season knowing full well that the winner of the playoffs is the champion. -
Really cool NLCS. Phillies are fun but I'm sticking with 'Zona.

Extremely disappointed but not at all surprised. Two peas in a pod. Another year to further f*** over this organization. He knows that if he fires Atkins, the next bullet might get put in his head. So you don't want to play that card too quickly.

They shouldn't have. It's even more annoying for the road team. Some opposing team fans get irrationally upset by hearing that song after the Leafs score. That's good enough for me. Never really bothered me to begin with.

Blue Jays acquire Daulton Varsho for Moreno and Gurriel
Masterbather replied to Laika's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Great analysis. It's a tougher case to make for the Red Sox but not entirely outside the realm of possibility, they do have talent. The Yankees aren't far off at all. King looked great in the rotation. Just a healthier season from the Yankees would have had them neck and neck with us this year. They just need a couple of stop gap solutions and another big power bat along with a little bit better luck in the health department. Maybe a back end veteran arm. The Blue Jays have significant questions, along with a major decision to make soon on a superstar who's not actually a superstar. Both teams have issues but I think the Yankees have a quicker road to success. It'll be easier for them then it will be for us. The Red Sox will need a little bit more to go their way, but to act as if it's entirely outside the realm of possibility is stupid. -
Since I've adopted the d-backs as my team once the Blue Jays went out, speak for yourself. I would actually enjoy the Phillies and the d-backs. I didn't really care for watching Atlanta and the Dodgers. I don't like horrible underdogs but I like fun underdogs with some star power.

Masterbather replied to Laika's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
The Yankees will absolutely have a better year, Red Sox probably will as well. Given our question marks I wouldn't be surprised if one or both have a better season. -
f*** the AL, Arizona has been my adopted team. There are a lot of fun.

Just here to say: Eat a dick Baltimore.

Maxed out payroll. Bare bones minor league organization. No playoff success. The guy who was supposed to be the core guy looks like s***. They had their chance. You can blame bad luck you can blame coaches you can f***ing blame whatever you want but they had their chance. You can only make excuses for so long. This was a year that was supposed to be a world series caliber team and there's nobody by the end of the season who thought this was a world series caliber team. No major injuries or suspensions that you can blame. The team wasn't good enough. It's getting progressively worse every year since 2021, the one golden opportunity they squandered by not addressing the bullpen earlier. So sick of the apologists. We don't need Atkins ruining this team any further, enough damage has been done.
-
Very humble and enlightened response.
-
If you loved the moves that were made, and if you consider yourself a nerd, we need far fewer nerds. Because anyone with a f***ing brain knew that the moves that were made would make this team worse.
-
The playoffs by the way, are about to get more difficult to make. Yankees and Red Sox are not going to lay down, the other teams that were in it this year will continue to be in it next year, the Blue Jays might have the biggest question marks of anyone. I also expect Cleveland to take a step forward in that central division and perhaps compete for a wildcard. I find it very difficult to believe this team will be able to scrounge something together given the near bare farm system and given their holes that sees them making the playoffs next year. Every other team that made it has star talent. We have the most overrated player in the game as our core piece. We're easily the most vulnerable of the AL teams. That's not end of the season disappointment speaking, that's objective reality.
-
I wanted Guerrero traded last year. I could see what he was and what he was going to be. I knew they didn't have the balls to entertain it, just like they don't have the balls to discipline the f***ing idiot every time he f***s up on the bases I'm so glad his baserunning came back to haunt this team, they so f***ing deserved it for the way they handled him with baby gloves.
-
I don't really care if Schneider stays or goes. He's not the root of the problem, he's a puppet like all of them. Insert generic manager here. An empty shell with a hand up their ass. The real problem sits above his head.
-
Or maybe chill on the overbearing analytical decisions.
-
You don't have to tell me, people came for my head at the very beginning of the season when I suggested that the front office had killed our offense with their moves. People were threatening to block me and some probably did, even for me suggesting that this team was "maybe" a playoff team and would fight for a wildcard, many here were convinced this team would be just as good if not better offensively and was a legitimate division and world series contender. It's was quite extraordinary.
-
Well pretty much everyone except maybe Garcia and I guess Kikuchi. While I didn't like the decision, and don't like the overmanaging in general that has taken over the game in the postseason, it wasn't as bad as people want to think it was and it's not the defining feature of this game and this season.
-
I'm not nearly as upset about the pitching decision. I know that will be the story in many ways, I don't like it, but at least I understand where it was coming from and Kikuchi really did not pitch poorly. The story of this game and their season is the offense. The front office sacrificed our offense for defense, they went too far and it f***ed us. And really? You have cucks on here reporting people for saying "****"? Good God people are tissue soft these days. It's an everyday word in Australia.
-
You know I do want to shout this out. He was an incredible teammate who managed to put aside his bitter disappointment of being pulled, even as he was coming off the mound he was trying to be encouraging. That takes a lot, A LOT. Most pitchers would not be able to do it.
-
I started getting a bad stench the moment AA decided to jump ship immediately after Shapiro sunk his claws into this team. Giant red flag. Never felt good about him from the very beginning.
-
It would be nice to see some of the nut huggers verbally self-Seppuku for all their insufferable defending of this front office and team from the beginning of the season and pissing on people who rightfully criticized this team. But that won't happen. Self-professed baseball savants, they'll probably just blame bad luck.
-
The really sad part is none of this requires hindsight. This was pretty much all foreseeable except for Rogers media puppets and a few nut huggers on this board. More than a few actually.. I will say what I said at the beginning of the season, I hated the offseason we had, we came back as a worse team with a more bloated payroll and bare bones organizational talent to show for.
-
Robbie Ray and Matt Shoemaker, different manager, similar idea. We all know who's pulling the strings.
