Jays 2023

[Nad Smith]

A 12 year old little league player who gets picked off would say "I screwed up, I am so sorry" (and might even cry). A 24 year old alleged star says "it is what it is and I will hit the ball hard next at bat". Accountability? Responsibility?

In other news, Gabriel Moreno has become a star but apparently was injured last night. He and Gurriel move on in the playoffs.

The 12 year old would say “I was safe” and his coach would yell “brutal call” to the umpire.

3rd base coach, Luis Rivera has announced his retirement

No one payed attention to him anyway.

Yes and exactly what happened in the game. Vlad lay with his hand on the bag claiming he was safe and instead of yelling "brutal call" Schneider did the MLB equivalent and had the call reviewed by New York.

And all the while we all knew he was picked off at second.

Holy shit after seeing this, whoever made this happen or allowed it to happen, they should be fired.

I am assuming that Merrifield won't be back. But he could do the franchise a big favour by calling out the big failures, the over hyped cheerleader Guerrero in particular. Give Vlad something to get mad about (he wasn't mad about being picked off) and maybe that will get him going instead of the baby treatment he has got.

It’s starting to feel an awful lot like Vladimir will not be part of the Blue Jays long-term plans. He better have a monster year next year, or I think they might let him walk. Everyone is scrutinizing him completely, which is deserved.

…, please, somebody please sign a reunion with Gurriel and Hernandez,…This was the fresh exciting lineup flavour we needed …. we were on the right path. God dammit can the baseball gods hear me now? Lol

In the post-game analysis on TV, the general consensus was that Schneider was not the one to make the call. It was pre-determined that Kikuchi would come in early. Joe Siddall said it's good to have a plan but you have to actually watch the game.

I wonder if the big-heads will man up and have Schneider's back and admit that the decision to pull Berrios should not be on Schneider.

The more I listen to analytical feedback on this move, the more people say it was Schneider’s decision to overturn the bad recommendation to pull Berrios. I’m not sure if he is really given this leniency.

With latest failure, it’s time for the Blue Jays to end the Ross Atkins experiment

Just like that, the Blue Jays season ends with a whimper, and they’re out of the playoffs. While many pundits will point to the analytics-driven decision to rem

They'll be sorry if they trade him or let him walk. The best thing they can do is put someone good behind him consistantly in the batting order. Also, a couple of more hispanic players on the team will probably spark him.

I agree. But isn't that why they hired him?
They wanted a stooge, a yes man.
