While watching John Schneider's post game comments last night I couldn't get my head around the laissez-faire attitude toward the whole situation. I don't know if he feels like he has to remain ultra calm as the skipper but I would much rather have seen a hint of emotion. Get mad you *******s. Show me something. Instead we get the same stay the course answers which is pablum for the masses. If Bats or Donaldson were on this team no way they would have turtled in this situation and said nothing. Someone needs to call out everyone but no one seems to have the gonads to do it. Depressing really.
Now that everyone is writing them off the Jays might go on a run and squeak into the playoffs and maybe make some noise. Everyone will have to begrudgingly come back into the fold and cheer them on before being gutted by a terrible loss in the playoffs solely due to our overweight players.
Oh I believe he said it. I'm not implying, I am outright declaring that it is ******** that he signed players to extended deals because of the fans who buy jerseys. Seem to be good business decisions, but if you believe it's because of the jerseys you are primed to buy some swamp land in Florida.
If this franchise turns into cheapskates it won't fly in this town. It's just money and the Jays have a lot of it. Bo is 25 years old. I don't get the "don't pay him" attitude. Pay him. Get the best players you can get. If you can get a better SS than Bichette then do that. It will cost you either way.
