Disaster is probably too strong a word but when a Team doesn't meet expectations it's certainly disappointing.
2/3 of the league wouldn't have the same expectations.

They have the softest part of their schedule coming up so 90 wins in theory is still attainable.
Would 20-13 be their best string of the season? Is it realistic?

I think people get caught up in the Rogers marketing hype.
I came out of Spring Training thinking the window was 88-92 wins.
No not when your team sucks. They are pure garbage offensively. Shutout 8 times since June. That’s f***ing despicable. Need a miracle for that to change

You don’t really suck if you’re on pace for 90ish wins.
Think back to December and January when they were making moves to re-shape the team, and remind yourself of what your expectations were then?
Expectations were playoffs or bust. To me not making the playoffs means you suck especially when that’s the expectation.

It’s a disaster relative to expectations.
If the Leafs or Oilers missed the playoffs without any sustained major injuries, it’d be correctly classified as a disaster of a season.
Atkins literally not doing a single significant thing about the offense all season is bewildering and worthy of criticism.

The expectation was the division and getting at least further into the post season. At this rate this season is a huge failure.

They have been stuck at around 10 games over .500 since middle of July and haven't been able to make any progress forward.
last I checked 10 games over .500 doesn't get you to 90 wins at the end of the season.
They are a middling team in the AL East that has been lucky to be in a wild card spot until a week ago, with both the Red Sox and Yankees struggling this season.

They're "lucky" that the Red Sox and Yankees are struggling? Aren't the Jays also "struggling"? The reason why they are only 10 games above .500 is because....key players are struggling.
All three of these teams (Jays, Red Sox, Yankees) have had a lot go wrong this season. The Jays are still way ahead of the other two, because they are a better team. I don't understand this melodramatic attempt to play with words to make it seem like what, the other two are better teams but we're just lucky to be ahead lol?
