The Jays did not.
I am very bummed out. I actually shed a tear. I only watch one sport/one team, so I was all in. Others here will move on to football, hockey, basketball …. Me, I will be counting the days until Spring Training.
My team did not deserve to win. I foresee lots of changes next year. Keep the pitching staff and Baby Bo because they all did their job; keep Vladdy because he is the type of player that will come back to haunt you if you trade him; pray for Manoah to come back as Manoah next year, and the rest of them, most of the players, all of the coaches and especially management can all sod off.
I haven’t read any recaps or assessments of what went wrong yet, mainly because I just can’t today; but also because I already know. Everybody knows. You can’t win if you don’t score runs. You can’t score runs if you don’t hit. And “analytics” have absolutely destroyed this team all year. Stick your analytics where the sun don’t shine.
Did I mention I am sad? Very sad.
