I haven't watched any of the games. Said I'd stop watching in the offseason if Guillermo was brought back, and here we are. I just watch highlights and follow along in Gameday/radio for the most part.

I don’t think it is possible to hate a team more than this one, being apathetic would be far better

Guillermo must have compromising evidence of some wrongdoing of this FO. No other way to put it. I was shocked to hear he was coming back this season.

I can see Guillermo being fired in the next week or so, if this team continues to hit the way they are. Guillermo will be made the scapegoat for this team's record, allowing Atkins to buy more time.

Schneider should be fired for those idiotic comments postgame. Does he think we are stupid? Fans ripping him all over twitter higher than normal. What a bozo he is

Because that's their go to Strategy when there is a night game followed by a day game. So expect to see this over and over again all year long no matter how good or bad anyone is hitting. Because you know, it's impossible for these geriatric seniors to play two games in 16 hours.

Not sure why everyone blames Giuellermo. He didn’t let go of Semien, Teo, Lourdes. Wasn’t Guillermo the hitting coach in 2021 when we had offensive talent that was near the top of the league?

Vlad and Bo - two generational hitting prospects that are in their prime - have only gotten worse under Guillermo, to the point they have both started the year below replacement level. Kirk, a guy who has been a great hitter at every level and also in his prime, is even worse. Why is it that often our best hitters are vets that just arrived to the organization, such as Belt last year and Turner this year? How many hitters have improved during Guillermo's reign of terror? None come immediately to mind. I'm sure there must be some, but it's got to be a very short list.

We've blamed the front office plenty too. But there's plenty of blame to go around for the current state of this team.

We need a hard reset. Fire the entire FO and all the coaches (except Walker). Then rebuild.

Yup. In the last 7 years, Atkins has given contracts to three Managers for the Jays. All three haven't worked out.

At some point, you need to ask if the problem isn't the Managers, but the person hiring them.
