The Blue Jays are exactly the same as the L.A. Chargers.
So much talent and disappointing results.
It’s a different kind of wasted season than what the Mets or Padres encountered.
Those teams were just absolute shitshows.
The Blue Jays are good enough to make the playoffs.
The problem is they are almost instantly exposed and sent home.
It happened in 2020, last year and again just today.
There is so much blame to go around.
John Schneider is a bad manager.
He’s not the biggest issue but the easiest one to get rid of.
Honestly, Buck Showalter would be an idea manager for this team even if only for 2024.
I just don’t know if that Buck magic can last more than a season.
Veteran guys will always resort to laziness because Buck gives his guys so much rope.
The Alek Manoah disaster certainly set this team back.
Imagine if he just had the same year he has last year in 2023?
The Blue Jays likely would have challenged the Rays and Orioles for the division.
Then again, the Blue Jays have been very lucky from an injury standpoint this year.
How many other teams have 4 starting pitchers getting 31 starts or more?
Can they all stay healthy again all season?
Vladdy Jr is only 24!
He should be getting better and better each year, not worse.
Matt Chapman is a free agent at the end of the year.
His bat went south last season but still played pretty good difference was a 4 WAR player.
That would free up enough money to go get a major player.
Maybe the best option for Toronto is to rip it all down?
With all this talent, do you want to be the American Hustle of the MLB?
Solid movie that looks great with big stars but has no real substance.
On second thought, maybe that’s unfair to American Hustle.
The Blue Jays just can’t keep running back this core year and after year.
It’s more than clear than ever that there’s just enough here.
It doesn’t help he’ll be 32 next year.
The offense certainly needs something.
No Blue Jay hit 27 home runs this season.
The team was 8th in the AL in runs scored.
The disappointment has to end eventually.
