If we're gonna play "woulda, coulda, shoulda" on last year. Don't try to blame the umps as many predicted you would last year (instead you hid until 2016). If your boys didn't go 0-12 with RISP in Game 6 or if Ryan Goins could have caught a pop-up you all may have pulled out the series. But the fact is your boys choked and got beaten soundly against the Royals. It's okay to admit it bro, you're back this year and have a great chance to win the pennant (as I've been saying since September).

I think it was your year last year.

You guys were gangstas last year. Straight outta Kaufman bro

Honestly, I loved the brand of baseball the Royals played last year. I kinda wished the Jays were built like them in some ways.

Good. This year may be yours too.

Just don't go 0-12 with RISP and you won't have to rely on umps calling a non-existent balk call.

bricks · 10-10-2016, 12:53 PM

You know what else is the reason why the Jays lost?

David Price. That guy is not a playoff performer. I'm glad he is gone.

He wasn't worth the $$$.

bricks · 10-10-2016, 12:55 PM

JA Happ is a ****ing stud.

Jays got him for a third of the cost of Price and he had a better year and so far has had a decent post-season.

I would've at least loved to see a squeeze in that situation. Anything to try and bring that run home from third. Donaldson has the speed to beat out a bunt and Pompey could've scored off a bunt from third. Jays also lost because they weren't aggressive enough. That's on the coaching. I was disappointed in Gibbons there.

Guys Wade Davis gotta away with a balk that should've been called with the bases loaded.

Mother Nature was on your side last year with the rain delay and that happened just after Bautista hit the game tying homerun late in the game. The rain delay destroyed the Bluejays momentum. But these kinds of things happen when it's your year so I understand.

Wah, wah, wah.

Wade Davis did not get away with a balk. Harold Reynolds bitched about it live And then admitted after additional replays it wasn't a balk.

The rain delay also worked in Toronto's favor in that Davis had to sit for 45 minutes before coming out to pitch the 9th. He had a tough time with the strike zone after the delay.

And I have a hard time agreeing a team that got outscored by 12 runs over six game "deserved to win."

Your team got spanked.

And I think it's about to get spanked again. Cleveland and Boston are both tough matchups for Toronto.

Nothing in last year's series indicated that Toronto should have won that series. They didn't even take the series to 7. They flat out got beat unless hypotheticals are now facts.

Outscored by 12 runs over six games because game 4 was a disaster losing 14-2.....you got to face two shitty pitchers in Dickey and Hawkins that game. Both guys aren't on the playoff roster this year. It probably be different if you had to face JA Happ, Biagini, Grilli or Sanchez. Jays have much better pitching this year compared to last year.

bricks · 10-10-2016, 01:16 PM

Boston doesn't have the pitching

Cleveland has a great bullpen

Why can't you just enjoy your playoff run and

about woulda,coulda,shoulda?

Oh, so results on the field determined the better team.

Case closed.

No you got to face shitty pitchers which explains why you scored many runs that game. Dickey and Hawkins suck.

Right. Crappy pitching is why you lost the series. It's why you lost both of your playoff Price starts and your Dickey start.

It's okay, you lost to a better team last year. There's nothing be ashamed of, Bricks.
