Blue Jays GDT: 2022 v13 | PLAYOFFS: Wild Card Rd | Gm #2: Sat, Oct 8 | vs SEA | 4:00pm ET/1:00pm PT | Ray vs Gausman

[Woodman19]

This team needs better defense... that's it! Bullpen was very good in the season. When Tapia was so far right on that Suarez hit, I knew right there, that the Mariners would make a comeback. Then the Springer and Bo incident... we need outfielders badly.

^ this

 

[habamillions]

Man i know how the majority of you feel in here now between this team and the leafs. Wow what a way to lose

 

[dredeye]

Mayza, Garcia, Pop, Richards and Cimber throw up a 0 yesterday.

Mayza, Garcia, Bass and Romano give up 9 today.

Go figure.

and our worst hitter was Vladdy in the series

 

[Cloned]

Kevin Cash getting fired too?

He gets a lot out of an above average roster.

Tampa isn’t expected to contend the same way.

But yes, he’s not completely safe either.

 

[Woodman19]

Team defense as a whole is a massive area that needs to be looked at that honestly isn't talked about enough. We need to seriously look at moving Bo off short and/or go get a legit CF to move Springer to a corner spot. Go along with seriously making the bullpen a priority. This is a big off season.

Inject this into my veins, bad defense puts pressure on arms and when they aren't elite to begin with its a recipe for disaster

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

The bullpen has been a known issue since the 2020 season and management has refused to adequately address it. You go up 7 runs in a playoff game and score 9 runs in total you should win the f***ing game. But God forbid they spend on arms or actually trade high end prospects.

Core is 0-4 in playoff games. Schneider taking out Gausman for Mayza is un-f***ing-forgivable.

 

[Da Cool Rula]

Kevin Cash getting fired too?

That was bad. How could they lose to the Guardians

 

[TorMapleJays]

This isn't your MLB The Show game where you can just restart it bc you make brash decisions for no reason.

Exactly

This team overshifts imo and it burns them a lot.

I think the ban on shifts might actually help their defense lol.

 

[Cleetus]

Kevin Cash getting fired too?

hope so, could be an asset for the jays!

 

[Optimist]

Schneider has misused Romano ever since he became manager. Today was no exception.

 

[stealth1]

Lol Mariners celebrating like the won the pennant.

Loser ass franchise. I hope they go another 2 decades without a playoff appearance after this.

They just had a big comeback win. I'm sure Vladdy would be yelling our house if they did the same.

 

[EpochLink]

Sigh.

Good season and a shitty way to lose.
Going through the motions right now.

 

[go_leafs_go02]

On the plus side.... they can start the reno now!

 

[EpochLink]

Lol Mariners celebrating like the won the pennant.

Loser ass franchise. I hope they go another 2 decades without a playoff appearance after this.

And look who they play next, the Houston Astros.

I am still baffled they were playing so f***ing deep on JP Crawford. Like if they just play him straight up Springer likely catches that in a light jog and doesn't get his head taken off.

 

[Cloned]

Schneider pulls Gausmann too early perhaps. Then leaves Romano in too long.

But that’s partially a result of not having enough high leverage arms in the bullpen. That’s on Atkins.

 

[Kurtz]

We really need another high stuff RP so we don't need to rely on Romano to get 6 outs

What an idea!

 

[Woodman19]

Exactly

People think bad defense = errors but in this case it's out shitty range OF letting balls fall in for singles and doubles that average fielder's make outs on.

 

[Maplebeasts]

I can't believe how badly the BP choked today. f***ing unbelievable.

 

[egd27]

Toronto team once again snatches defeat from the jaws of victory.

 

[leafsfan5]

You have to love Toronto sports

 

[Blitzkrug]

As someone who works for them, why must everything Rogers owns be shoddy as f*** when you need it to be functional?

Their infrastructure, their tech support, the Blue Jays, etc.

 

[Whacky5]

f*** man, 8-1, thinking we got this, and end it tomorrow. But nope, mistakes follow this team somehow.
