There is rot at the core of Toronto sports organizations. They've been overrun by khaki-wearing MS Excel experts who care about mitigating risk and doing just well enough to keep the tickets sold, the jerseys moving, the money flowing. There's no killer instinct, no will to win. Eventually, the rot spreads to everyone. A formerly tough-as-nails hockey player is turned into a passive dud. I thought Masai could resist it, but every year, he gets closer and closer to having the fire and competitiveness beat out of him. Shapiro and Atkins are the embodiment of what the suits at the top want, and the Blue Jays are the model of what is desired. The teams are built to not rock the boat, to play out the stretch, to be just okay, and to go home. Amateur puppet coaches and managers are installed to tow the company line, and the loudest voices on social media will shout you down, tell you that what you see with your own eyes is not what's happening, that reality is actually in the spreadsheet numbers.

There's no saving any of it.

2 years ago, this lineup included names such as Marcus Semien, Teoscar Hernandez, and Lourdes Gurriel

I said Belt would likely have lead the league in K’s this year over a projected 162 game season or if he played close to 162 games and you mentioned how Babe Ruth lead the league in K’s multiple times over his career.

So you’re telling me that you WEREN’T comparing the 2?

Because you should've too. Could've made a couple bucks for the trouble of having to watch this.

I'm a gambler, I made well over 30 grand gambling over the last 2 years, but I don't bet against my teams as it's terrible karma and there's no enjoyment in winning those bets.

Just thinking back to when small deficits didn’t feel insurmountable

Back to when the Jays had hitters that hit homeruns. This lineup could play a 7 game series and not hit one.

Biggest issue with this offense is that it's a bunch of slap hitters with no consistent power presence. You need doubles and home runs when runners get on.
