Yeah must suck to have a team that made the playoffs 3 of the past 4 seasons in the best division in baseball. Although this year didn’t work out, I’m not sure it’s the been the disaster you think it is. Take a deep breath.

How many playoff games have they won in those 3 years? Let me help you….zero. All three wild card games. Two of those years they lost in embarrassing fashion as an indirect result of management stupidity. Change is needed and continuing to fill the stadium only fuels the excuses to keep these incompetent boobs.

Selling 15000 tickets instead of 30000 won't change anything. The best thing a team can do to make extra money is get into the playoffs and go as far as possible.

Every team, no matter how much they suck, is going to see a big attendance bump this weekend. Some people just like baseball, and this is the last chance to see it until March.

The fans just gave this team a standing ovation in the bottom of the 3rd.

Are you f***ing kidding me right now????

Yuck, what a terrible finish. Vladdy couldn't even get his 200th hit...

they got swept by a 100 loss team to finish the season at 14 games under.

some big changes better be coming.

 

[Suntouchable13]

I think Atkins still needs to be fired. That's the first thing that has to happen.

Chase for 200 = Chase for 70. Doesn’t gets completed

I assume he and the guy that fills out the lineup he gives him will be let go tomorrow.

I don’t think that’s happening. I’m hoping the first thing that happens is Vladdy is signed or the hitting coaches are gone.

If you suck at your job, you get fired. No? Atkins has sucked last 2 seasons. Vladdy signing is huge for sure.

I agree he should be gone but all indication is he won’t be. I think Shapiro and Click will have more influence on the offseason.

 

[LeafsNet]

Next season they’ll be back in the postseason.

 

[Blitzkrug]

And thus brings an end to a disappointing season.

Let's see what they do in the winter. Don't need the big fish like Soto but money will need to be spent to fill the holes on this roster.

 

[aingefan]

Welp. That’s that for that.

The return of Vladdy, a solid starting staff is a good startling point.

A deeper system and lots of legitimate maybes that are close to being better than league average position players is good.

Also good is that the Jays *must* have used up three years worth of bad bullpen karma. Not much went right out there such that it can’t possibly be worse next year….right? Nowhere to go but up?

I can agree with that. Cheers!

At points it feels like one would have a better chance unlocking the secrets of the universe than trying to understand bullpen consistency from year to year.

There's some teams that have a mastery of it for sure; The Brewers seemingly being able to materialize starters and relievers alike out of thin air, the Astros, Seattle being able to pick Joe Blow off the scrap heap and turning him into a reliable late game option. Then there's teams like Arizona. Had a pretty good bullpen in the second half after they got a guy like Paul Sewald to stablize it/set everyone else's role in stone. This year? Abject disaster.

I think really all you can hope as a fan is they identify the guys who they think would be the best fit, and then hope it works.
