Blue Jays Discussion: Turn out the lights, the season's over.

[Diamond Joe Quimby]

Sorry, I'm cheering for my boy Donaldson.

.... until they face the dodgers.

Josh Donaldson led the Braves' comeback celebration

Ugliest cheerleader I ever saw.

I do admit, he looks better in Toronto blue.

We'll see what Cap'n Jack has to say about it.

Jack may not have to say anything, Braves down 9-0 in the first inning. Crazy!!!

Some reason I thought Soroka was pitching. Glad I didn’t bet money

 

[Suntouchable13]

What? How? What the??? Holy smokes!

Ouch Braves

Talk about not showing up on time poor braves fans

 

[Jozay]

You hate to see it

If Shapiro leaves before he sees this through, I could see his legacy being the same as Tim Leiweke's -- came in completely tone deaf to the city and essentially disliked by many, but whose structure put in place and the rewards from it will be appreciated and recognized long after he's gone.

Is this satire

So what are the odds the jays pick up Travis’ projected 1.95 arb salary. Add to that Drury getting 2.5 million. Tepera at about 1.9. Law 1.3 potentially. I’m not sure they’d be too excited about any of those. Drury being the likeliest to get picked up. I assume they will try the others at lower dollars

I don't know about the comparison, but even if someone else took over today there's a pretty great chance the next contending team is built around a group of players added to the organization under Shapiro.

Dodgers are gonna blow this game. Pitcher should be gone. Over 100 pitches.

It's getting up theren but Buehler is still in control of this game imo. Likely pulled next inning though

 

[robertmac43]

Well looks like my prediction is going to **** after that walk. Really good performance though..

I don't think this is much of a compliment. I would hope that a team in the midst of going through a complete rebuild would hypothetically contend with a core group of prospects from said rebuild.

Leiweke's entire 'why are we afraid to be great' shtick strikes me as diametrically opposite of Shapiro's views on this team. Which deserves a large nb due to the public/private nature of the organizations that they work(ed) for, but still...

 

[Jozay]

Kershaw lol

 

[trellaine201]

Ouch, 106 wins gets you so little.

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

Dodgers could’ve used Giles. Wouldn’t be shocked if they come calling when the jays shop him this winter.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Haha good

 

[as Pure as Evil]

theres those playoff dodgers I knew resonated in that juggernaut of a team. the curse of Kershaw will live on for infany

 

[phillipmike]

Wow, how can you not love playoff baseball?

 

[Cloned]

They really should have traded for Giles.

 

[as Pure as Evil]

giles value just went through the roof with both these nlds series

 

[phillipmike]

Alright let’s connect some dots.

Dodgers fire Roberts, hire Joe Maddon.
Giants hire Roberts.
Cubs hire Girardi.
Braves fire Snitker and hire Gibbons.
KC hires Matheny.
Mets hire Beltran.
Padres hire Ausmus.
Angels hire Espada.
Pirates hire Banister.

I didn't think it was supposed to be a compliment. It's just a fact. The team sucks now and they've made some obvious blunders, so he isn't well liked. But they've built a strong young core, so opinions will likely shift in the future whether he's around or not.
