Manoah needs to lose weight and work on his mechanics and confidence. Doc was sent down to the minors for a season and came back an All-Star.

Manoah will be back and shine next year.
And the other 4 will all have injuries.

lol yeah and I’m not thrilled that he made his comment minutes after the twins eliminated the Jays… all smiles and jokes “I will let Shohei Ohtani set the free-agent market.“ then he’s like “bye Toronto nice knowing ya.”

it’s all hogwash this dude is jumping for joy to be a free agent and didn’t care about much else.

C’mon, you should know it yourself…it’s all about the money!

So I guess it’s fair to assume both Ross Aitkens and John Schneider will be back in 2024. So I guess that means no Gibby. Lol:

I hope Atlanta wins another World Series this year. Then everyone can point a finger at the president for not making friends with AA.

AA is 1 billion times better than RA. Im sick of RA. He’s too much of a geek to be the GM lol.

Bullshit. Bullshit. Bullshit. He's lying through his fucking teeth.

Schneider would have said so at the time, immediately post-game. He'd have manned up. Instead he talked about how tough it was to pull him (because he knew it was the wrong thing to do) and a lame list of reasons, last of which was, "organizational decisions". A rookie manager was supposed to defy the GM, Prez and analytics dep't?

As Rosie wrote: Atkins and Schneider can't fart without Shapeero's approval.

He gave the analytics department its overriding authority. He entrusted Atkins with qualified domain. He mandated replacing one rookie manager with another rookie manager. Neither Atkins nor Schneider breaks wind without Shapiro sanctioning it. He instilled a doctrine of “process” over results. He ran with the axiom of “collaboration,” which functions as a shield against identifiable culpability.

…..but at the end of the day, RA is a geek and a nerd 😬

Nerds are cool…..but RA ain’t cool.

He is the furthest thing from cool.

I bet he's never even seen an escort. LOL.

He's a corporate, yes-man ass licker.
lol tightly wound, totally anal and annoyingly meticulous. Probably needs the towel patterns lined up, and all the labels front facing, with classical music playing in the background, like that loser husband on Sleeping With The Enemy.

OK I am taking a break from this thread. Nothing more to see here. Jays suck. Jays lost. Shack feel free to shoot me a text to say what’s up.

Texas will win the W.S.

Good to see Gabe Moreno doing so well. Probably getting better managing and coaching but most credit to him. He is a better player and a better athlete than Kirk. Also noticed that Arizona pitcher was shutting out the Dodgers and they did not pull him in the fourth.

Kershaw is terrible in the post-season.

That trade should not be forgiven. Moreno is going to hurt for years. Ross Aikens can throw John Schneider under the bus when it comes to to the decision to pull Berios…. And sure he is right in saying the problem wasn’t pitching. The problem was not scoring. But that trade Gurriel/Moreno for Varsho SHOULD cost him his job. Even on paper that trade makes no sense. Gurriel has the ability to carry an entire team when he gets hot. We gave Arizona too much. I would love to see Gurriel sign with the Jays again.

OK I’m out….lol Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

More evidence that Atkins is BSing. He talked about being surprised that Berrios was being pulled so early. He only found out at the same time that the fans did. He then goes on to say that when he spoke to the starters after the game they were all aware of the plan.

So he's saying Schneider knew, the coaching staff knew, the starting pitchers knew, but HE didn't know. Yah, right.

Can't wait to hear what top big-head has to say on Thursday.

Vlad has low baseball IQ but his skill still allows him decent numbers. His best year was when he was fat. I'd say put a barbecue in the dugout and make him full time dh. Make his only job .280 - 45 - 125 slash line.

He has no value in the field, or trade him with manoah. The only caveat is judge 👨‍⚖️ had his first monster year when he was 25, then almost disappeared for 3 years and wasn't who he is now until he turned 29. Do jays or their fans play the waiting game?

Schneider is a choker, he chokes in big moments. Like a cop who can't make the right split second decision. Every occupation has them. Only a certain amount of Dr's can do surgery or work ER, the rest are family Dr's.
