Blue Jays Discussion: :( well it was a hell of a ride

[ECanuck]

Bautista is an absolute beast and he is our leader.

The fix was in, it was beyond obvious. Call me a conspiracy theorist, but anyone with eyes could see that.

Even with the umps blatantly against us, we had a chance.

Josh Donaldson failed us.

Those broadcasters were ******** bricks.

On another note... I hope that was Ben Revere's final at bat as a Blue Jay.

For a guy who doesn't strike out, he certainly loves too in important situations.

Thanks Revere for all those singles but we will not miss you

 

[Zybalto]

Three bad calls there...
The non-balk, the strike 2 to Navarro and then the even worse strike 2 to Revere.
Those are called properly, I'm positive we're still watching baseball...oh well.


The umpiring that inning was far worse than the walk to Batista that caused a commotion last game so I'm guessing that theres gonna be a media firestorm over this.

Next Season could be a whole lot different.

AA may not be GM. I mean, he should, but who knows what Shapiro will do. The assumption, and correct thing to do would be to bring AA back.

Gibby might not be back. Essentially, see above. Who knows what Shapiro will do. Again, he likely should be back.

Buerhle, Price, Estrada and Dickey could all be gone from the rotation.

Osuna, Sanchez, Cecil and Lowe should be the only pen arms back next season. We really need to upgrade this.

Travis can hopefully pick up where he left off before the injury next season. We really missed the kid.

 

[dredeye]

Hey, that's baseball.

I look forward to next season.

As do I. Will be a very interesting off season. We only have one starter under contract for next year and two if Dickey's option is picked up (it should be). Would like to bring Estrada back on a 3 year deal. Not sure what else they do. Sanchez and Osuna likely will be stretched out again. I can't imagine they plan to go into the season with Osuna and Sanchez in the pen. Next year we best have a deep pen. It really killed us in the post season.

 

[Clark4Ever]

I think we must have set a record for the most stranded base runners in a playoff series. We beat ourselves with poor execution. Very disappointing way to go out after Bautista's clutch bomb and Pompey's magic.

 

[Sokil]

Yes.

It's not about ratings.... FOX CAN'T air american commercials on CDN TV. So even if ALL of Canada watches the game, they make squat on ads.

It's like the superbowl....

So the umps are paid by Fox Sports to fix games? lol

Does this somehow involve the Rand Corporation and the Koch brothers?

 

[Habsawce]

Bullpen is the #1 priority in the offseason. It has to be addressed.

 

[10coach*]

What a season. Thank you Blue Jays, all the posters here, and everything inbetween for a great ****ing year. What a ride. It hurts now, but we will look back on this soon, and realize how fun this was.

Jose Bautista is a Blue Jays ****ing God. Get him a statue.

No need to dwell on things, it already feels better thinking of what we accomplished, and how long it took for us to do this....20+ years...

Love this team. Forever.

GO JAYS GO

Good post man and the Jays aren't even my primary team. Heck of a season and fun to watch.

Cool to see the whole country rally around them.

 

[tp71]

How did he lose this? Imo he made all the right calls.

Agreed. He managed the game great today.

 

[TF97]

I would love if we could somehow get a pitcher out of Revere. But he could be non-tendered and I would be perfectly okay with it.

 

[canadiansbronco]

Mostly pissed at how hard and horny fox where for KC pretty sad...

But 0-12 with man on is inexcusable, especially with a man on 3rd with 0 out....

they couldn't play small ball and that was it, feel bad for bautista

Definitely enjoyed my time on the wagon guys, but back to not caring about baseball i am. Mets will destroy KC anyway

 

[weems]

0-5, yeah he clearly led us to victory

For the record, I love Donaldson, just saying it how it is.

Josh Donaldson isnt the reason we lost.

One of many players this game who didnt come thru with runners in scoring position.

 

[garce]

Just wondering Mayor Quimby, because you have prepared so many balance sheets and reports and such what figure you would place on this run?
Signed
Fiscally Naive

 

[mikebel111*]

abolutely, why go to Osuna when you have Trevor Rosenthal sitting down in the pen, not smart at all.

And even worse was letting Navarro and Revere hit when Giancarlo Stanton was in the dugout with a bat in his hands. I don't understand how this man has a job.

It's funny how people are blaming Gibbons. He used his best pitcher and Osuna failed. Yup all Gibbons fault

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Bullpen is the #1 priority in the offseason. It has to be addressed.

This.

And I have no ****ing clue what our starting rotation will look like at this point.

 

[TorMapleJays]

oh where is that cold hard facts guy.

LIVE BY THE SWORD DIE BY THE SWORD!!!

COLD HARD FACTS!

Jays Will never win a world series until we have 3 everyday .300 hitters.

What a season. Gawd, I love this game.

Hate it too.

 

[Woodman19]

Its frustrating that we have a team of so many great and patient hitters, but when we get runners on base they are stupid and over aggressive in trying to hit the bombs.

 

[weems]

Well, the majority since there are a few haters for no reason other than selfish reasons, but yes. Was a hell of an experience. Basically an entire nation just came together to cheer for a team, that isn't in the Olympics.

Remarkable.

 

[LeafSadist]

Pissed off at how it ended, but I didn't expect the Jays to get this far. I enjoyed this run and hope they make the right moves and are back again. I hope Josh wins the MVP at least.

That being said, go Mets.

 

[bullocks]

The 9th inning pretty much summed up the hole game. Feels bad man.

 

[ECanuck]

So the umps are paid by Fox Sports to fix games? lol

Does this somehow involve the Rand Corporation and the Koch brothers?

Well you can't make bad calls in important games. That's bush league.

 

[Semantics]

Too many guys not bringing it at the start of both series. I was worried when they clinched the playoffs they were celebrating a bit too hard, and might not be focused enough for the task ahead and sure enough they weren't. Still a great year, and hopefully they can make it back next year and bring the determination they showed with these comebacks right from game 1.

 

[Dough72]

bit worried about Revere smashing that garbage can. Because I am pretty sure that is where the bearded kid lives. And he might have still been in there after the rain delay.
