Hope Arizona (Gurriel Jr and Moreno) or Atlanta (AA) again wins the WS.

They can hope all they want. I'm pretty sure that Atkins and the Prez worked together on what Atkins was going to say at his press conference.

As with everything with these guys, "It's a process."
There are a number of podcasters that are flipping their wig over this circus, finger-pointing and blame game. Now, my YouTube for you page is full of different podcast recommendations. It’s caused a huge uproar. Even Ben Nicholson Smith and Shi Davidi are saying shit against Atkins. Questioning the decision making process. There’s a lot of stuff out there, and even from people that are employed by Rogers. I think any PR person would totally alert Rogers of this Atkins hate. In this day and age, this kind of bad PR totally fucks with business.

I anticipate Atkins will be gone within two weeks. I think we start next season with a new GM, John Schneider on the hot seat and some signings that will take us back closer to 2022. I might even throw Cody Bellinger in with that.

I hope you're right but I ain't holding my breath.

There's still 2 days left for a public uprising to get the Prez to do the right thing. Bombard Ed Rogers with e-mails. Season ticket holders threaten to not renew if they keep Atkins. Etc., etc.

The only problem is that the Prez will only hire another ass-licker like Atkins.

lol very true. But this online hatred towards Ross Atkins is strong, and people are even hating against him for throwing John Schneider under the bus during his press conference. It’s tough to ignore how people are calling for his job. I love this world we live in where people have a voice that matters, coming from sources like YouTube comments and Twitter (X). Negative momentum can derail a career now more than ever before.

….like Jeff Blair said about AA not working out with Mark Shapiro back in 2015….“Mark Shapiro needs his fingers in every pie.”

Ross Atkins should be assassinated for this deal, and the Teoscar deal and the whole town should come into the town square to watch. Lol “off with his head.”

I’m convinced anyone that has an opinion on why we should have traded Teoscar (meanwhile, the Blue Jays sign all these pointless deadbeat 1 year deals) is just a bunch of blah blah blah bullshit. DH the man who cares we needed his bat….

OK I need a rest from this thread… I’ll check in on Thursday when Shapiro has the press conference.

Minnesota losing 6-1 to Houston. I thought I heard a fan say "were not playing Toronto any more"

They could have traded kirk for more as he is young and was starting all star catcher

dumb trade but do not under estimate Varsho defense as he saved runs that do not show on stats

pitching staff was very good because of best outfielder defense in MLB

IMHO jays need less strikeouts better base running and more speed to play small ball

Varsho has speed and is the only jay who is a great bunter

very important in small ball

teams have won the big show with small ball and pitching
but they were better at it than the Jays

I thought this might be a possibility too as I feel like it might be the reason Schneider didn't get fired. They may have told him your getting let go, so it's not your decision anymore. Also might be the reason he threw Schneider under the bus. Sort of taking some shots and defending himself on the way out. That's how I felt after the press conference.

I keep looking at my phone, waiting for some kind of a notification that they fired Ross Atkins. I feel like it’s coming. Or maybe I’m just hallucinating. There’s so much hatred towards him out there. I feel like it’s undeniable. It’s literally plastered all over YouTube. My for you page has gone bananas with recommendation after recommendation.

…my for you page is filled with Ross Atkins, hatred and P Diddy, going to jail for offering the bounty and, because Kefee D was arrested in 2Pac‘s murder lol.

A while back I posted the AL East set a record this year for the highest winning percentage for a division with 5 teams or more. Well, the AL East just set another record. Most playoff losses by a division without a win.

Even though off the field, there's still some potential drama to unfold.

I like the Texas Rangers. I’m probably a little biased because I was there two weeks ago. Man, they look good.

I think this Mark Shapiro press conference tomorrow will quite possibly drop some bombs.
