OT: The Toronto Blue Jays

[Leafin']

TF you mean “based on”? They’ve done zero to improve the roster for 2024.

This offseason is dogshit

 

[axlsalinger]

winning the most games in the regular season isn't the flex you think it is either

Playin and Wildcard are the same thing. Might as well be called pre- playoffs. Meaningless. And by the way we haven’t won a game.

Why even try to be good, amirite?

Im sorry

you know that's not what I said. of course you try to win every game. But getting into the playoffs is the goal.

sure would suck to be run as well as any of these teams.

 

[MindzEye]

you know that's not what I said.

It's 100% what you inferred

of course you try to win every game.

Better teams win more games. The better team doesn't always win a playoff series because sports are funny that way. But the goal is always to be the better team going into the series.

But getting into the playoffs is the goal.

How about the play ins though?

40% of the league makes the playoffs every year.

nope

sure

How about the play ins though?

post-season is playoffs

 

[MindzEye]

post-season is playoffs

Play ins are to try to make the actual playoffs.

Play ins are to try to make the actual playoffs.

once the regular season ends, a bunch of teams are eliminated from the post-season. Only the teams that remain have a chance to win the World Series. I'm surprised you didn't know this.

 

[Preston]

New banner?

 

[MindzEye]

New banner?

 

[axlsalinger]

yes, making the playoffs is worthy of mockery.

but only if a guy turned down a job offer 8 years earlier.

Playins /= Playoffs

Fuck your participation trophy round.

 

[manny]

Set the bar low and it’s easy to clear it. The actual goal is to build a contender.

If MLB hadn’t expanded the playoffs in 2020, Atkins would have one wild card to show for his years of work with a top budget. They’re doing it on easy mode (compared to every Jays GM since Gillick) and they still can’t get it done.

this is payback for that thing you said that one time that hurt my feelings. Full disclosure: I suck balls at holding grudges and I already forget what was said
