Davis is ridiculous

 

[Da Cool Rula]

Ok MVP Calvin let’s go!!!

 

[MS]

Tim Johnston ouch

Yup.

That was a great year, though.

Breakout year for Delgado/Green into elite players. Shannon Stewart and Jose Cruz became quality regulars. Jose Canseco! Roger Clemens! Chris Carpenter joining the rotation. Roy Halladay called up for his debut and nearly gets a no-hitter.

It really seemed like they'd turned things over and had a great young core that could go back to the playoffs in the next few years. Only 4 games out that year. Then Clemens forced a trade and it just never happened.

Davis Schneider. Wow.

 

[Da Cool Rula]

I was just about to post that... blows my mind.

It’s gotta be a weird season. Just can’t explain what’s going on Mgmt has settled on not replacing the hitting coach so I give up on that end.

 

[MS]

What’s your point? Doesn’t change my statement. Another fine example from Biggio

I mean, this team is 15 games over .500. This is 'disappointing' and 'hard to watch' compared to incredibly lofty expectations but overall most fanbases would kill to be watching this team and there have been maybe 5 or 6 more entertaining Jays teams in the last 30 years.

KC is 44-97. That's a f***ing unenjoyable team to watch.

 

[The Nemesis]

Davis Schneider is the greatest hitter (I can't even just qualify that as MLB considering Fangraphs has integrated early independent and Negro League stats) who's ever lived. Prove me wrong.

Halladay I can remember for sure. Think it was last or 2nd last game of season, no?
Dustin McCowen just came to my mind…. What could have been. So much talent.

Gunnar Henderson has ROY locked up but there have been years where he might have been able to beat 1959 Willie McCovey winning it from 52 GP.

 

[The Nemesis]

Dustin McCowen just came to my mind…. What could have been. So much talent.

I remember McGowan coming within like 1 or 2 outs of no-hitting a team (Colorado?) and thinking that it was the start of a great career.

Turns out it was the peak.

 

[mikeyz]

Literally the only way this team can manufacture runs is by the long ball.

Yeah, McGowan was a big talent, just never could stay healthy.

Right at the end of the year for Halladay, yup. As documented in the incredible Dave Stieb documentary on Youtube.

 

[Halladay]

The Royals relievers are terrible. The Rangers are imploding, this team really needs to sweep this series.

 

[mikeyz]

Buck calling the offence out now.

 

[Gustave]

Team is hard to watch.

It’s a frustrating experience, way more than I anticipated.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Buck calling the offence out now.

no nap today and he's pissed.

 

[DFF]

What happened to the good young offense?

 

[mikeyz]

 

[canucksfan]

Buck calling the offence out now.

It’s well deserved

Wait you’re telling me there are teams that are worse than the jays this year? No way. Would you prefer if I said I find this team hard to watch? Frustrating! Disappointing! Watching garbage pitchers make the jays “offence” look like they play for the terrible team.

 

[MK78]

Pathetic. Marsh came in with a 6.23 ERA. They can't even get a sniff off him except the one 2 out double by Schneider.

 

[Da Cool Rula]

Well summed up

Needs a party atmosphere I guess because nothing else makes sense

This is been the story of the Jays offense all year. Making all those guys look like Cy Young

Well summed up

Very well said.

 

[rdogg]

Bro where's Shaner8989 when you need him?

Getting shutout by the Kansas City right now. Where are the bats?

 

[VanillaCoke]

Seems like every bad pitcher they face is suddenly cy young calibre
