Blue Jays GDT: 2023 v13 | **WILDCARD SERIES GAME 2** Wed, Oct 4 | @ Min | 4:30pm ET/1:30pm PT | Berrios vs Gray

[Larcos_Unal]

Play 162 to games to be out in 2

All that champagne and bud light, just to be shut down in 2 lmao

 

[LaP]

Yeah Jays will tie it and then Romano will blow it once Schneider makes him pitch 2 innings.

2.1 innings. The 0.1 is very important as a closer never ever does that.

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

Sometimes a closer blows it. Howabout tonight?

Not happening man. Bet the house on it

 

[EpochLink]

The longer this score stands, the more important the batting is an issue than pitching.

Fire the hitting coach

 

[bossram]

Duran hangnail. There's a chance!

 

[jcs0218]

Blue Jays down to their final 3 outs of the season, unless they can do something here in the 9th inning.

 

[GoonieFace]

No, this is 100% on Atkins and or Shapiro. They did this very same thing a few years ago against Tampa. They pulled Shoemaker 1 time through the order after he’d given up nothing and immediately gave up the lead and never recovered. Exactly the same scenario as today. Schneider is an idiot but he’s not the one making these decisions. Put the blame where it belongs.

Tinfoil hat, GM making the pitching changes, comic gold

 

[Guided by Veseys]

f*** it. I’ll take two runs at least.

 

[Anthrax442]

Should be easy 1-2-3 for Duran

 

[Cleetus]

they could literally get a guy in the Stands to close this, and the jays wont get a hit lol

 

[Cloned]

Duran hangnail. There's a chance!

Atkins frantically using his Duran voodoo doll right now

I understood what you were saying.

No, you thought that an example that showed that lots of strikeouts doesn't necessarily = bad player meant that I was comparing Brandon Belt to Babe Ruth.

And talk about backpedaling.

 

[phillipmike]

When you say they did a good job tearing it down, what do you mean?

To me it would mean trading those vets for young players/prospects to help in the future, but I can't think of a single impact young guy we got in return for all of those quality vets we had when they took over.

I’m looking at it from a Macro perspective.

Teams like the Jays, KC, Texas, and Baltimore were in the playoffs in 15 and 16 like the Jays.

Jays were back in the playoffs 4 years later in 2020 and won on average 90 games from 2021-23 making the playoffs 2 time.

The Rangers and Baltimore only made it to the playoffs this year, 7 years later and KC aren’t even close. So early on, they were able to do the right thing.

You can add in teams like Boston and the Yankees and the Jays are in a better position than they are now and moving forward. Only teams in the AL to be definitely better and/or more consistent since 2017 are the Rays and Astros. And that isn’t an easy feat in the AL East.

Buy a nail clipper.

 

[tmlms13]

Marc Bergevin's team went to the final. This isn't even remotely comparable.

If it wasn't for a Corey Perry knee they'd probably have gotten swept in the first round

 

[ACC1224]

Put a bullet in them already

 

[LaP]

I was in the bathroom what happened?

 

[Cloned]

Jays most explosive offense came when they played Davis, Clement and Horwitz.

But no, go back to Matt Chapman and Santiago Espinal.

Maybe we can Ragans our way to a tie

 

[ACC1224]

I was in the bathroom what happened?

I’m guessing you went ??

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

I know he went into a slump but I don't know why babe Schneider wasn't in the lineup these first two games. He is the only hitter on the playoff roster who doesn't look scared at the plate. I will take his at bats (even when he strikes out) over these other guys. He had a 30 at bat slump that is nothing compared to the month+ long slumps a lot of these guys had.

 

[shaner8989]

Lmao Kirk. Get yourself in shape

There is no manager in the history of baseball that would have scratched Matt Chapman in the playoffs.

Espinal has 1 AB in the series and got a hit so not sure what you're on about there. Edit : 2-2 now.

 

[Cloned]

I’m guessing you went ??

It was still less shitty than the Jays today.

 

[shaner8989]

Come on Chapman let’s see another DP

 

[jetsforever]

Nice of Kirk to break his no-strikeout streak now
