Maybe, just maybe, Russ Atkins isn't as dumb as everyone thinks he is. Where does he find these guys?
He hits a moon shot, or more appropriately, a Saga shot.

At least we now know what Russ Atkins handle is on TERB.
Never say that film. Jimbo Elrod was part of the Oklahoma Sooners double National Championship along with the Selmon Bros.
What the Jays have to do is win all the series against their WC competitors, Not every game just the series
The positive is
Amazingly, with a month left to play not one team they will play has a 500 average
The WC is in their hands to win or lose 100%
But
Vlad is not gonna hit homers like a superstar because he never has
ONE YEAR HE HIT OVER 40 DURING COVID WHEN THEY PLAYED IN MINOR LEAGUE PARKS
He is a solid 25 homer guy up to this year where he is not even close to average player in homers or power
Jays have put a lot of effort trying to get his swing back with 0 results yet they play him like he will all of a sudden
He should be at bottom of lineup and not play against some pitchers at all like the way they treat other bench players. You put them in against the pitchers they can hit
Does not look good but the jays will, at least, be technically in it until the last week which is what the Jays want - a full stadium

If the Jays miss the playoffs again this year (for the ninth time in Shatkins’ 11 years in charge), please for the love of fuck, Rogers, FIRE SHATKINS.
They’ve been an unmitigated disaster. Only two playoff appearances in 11 seasons (the wildcard is NOT the playoffs; it’s a glorified tiebreaker, a Game 163). Caught lightning in a bottle last year and choked away a 3-2 World Series lead at home.
Fuck Shatkins! Throw the bums out!

Bieber placed on 15 day IL with right shoulder inflammation, there goes the season, just when he was back to his normal self.
BP game today.

Major League leaders in innings pitched, through games of August 25.
It's entirely possible that no pitcher in the American League will pitch 200 innings this year.
In the 1996 season, 49 Major League pitchers threw 200 or more innings. 61 did it in 1976, when there were six few teams. There's a tiny chance that Michael Wacha could win the AL ERA title, because he's the only pitcher so far who has the minimum 162 innings to qualify.

The issue is simple
If you do not hit homers then you have to hit singles with runners on base to score runs and win
Jays cannot hit homers which is a surprise but Barger is out, Santander is out, Kirk was out and Vlad is a mystery that cannot be solved
so that explains it
They do get runners on base but fail to drive them in
Our team is designed after last years team where the power bats hit homers and the rest of the team hit singles so the power could drive them in
Next year looks weak with Santander and Barger very questionable and why should Vlad start hitting homers next year ?????

Nice. I had the same experience with my terminally ill Uncle in the spring of 2004. Just about everyone on the floor had the Leafs/Senators playoff game on their tv.
My Uncle passed away the day they were eliminated. They would miss the playoffs the next 10 out of 11 years. Our family used to joke he knew this was going to happen so he didn't bother sticking around.
