135 wins, I guess.
9. Similarly, IF THOU HAST SPENT the entire offseason predicting that thy team will stink, thou shalt not gloat, nor even be happy, shouldst thou turn out to be correct. Realistic analysis is fine, but be a fan first, a smug smarty-pants second.

It's that time of the game again where the Jays pull the dominating starter for the struggling closer, let's see how it works out for them.

Worked out ok today but I wouldn't advise it moving forward.

Thankfully MVP Varsho exists.

Bat speed on Varsho’s double was 86MPH. That is a mother **** hack.

So, I'm not the only one who checked to see what time the game was starting at, round about 6pm, right?

Right?

Whoops.

Apparently this was deGrom's first MLB game where he didn't record a K.

Bowden was pitching well and at 75 pitches. Couldn't we have gone one more inning?

Time for the Jays to use their worst RP (Chad Green) in the biggest spot in the game. Let’s see how it works out for them.

Not well, Chad Green is awful and it is amazing they haven’t realized that yet despite his underlying numbers.

I can't wait for this season to end and for Atkins to no longer be the GM of this team.

Who did you want them to use instead? This team is losing most of their games because they can't hit or score any runs.

Literally anyone. Chad Green’s WAR is negative 0.5 this season. Disaster contract.
