Maybe it's because it's easier to remember last season where on the backs of an inept offense we squeeked in only to be swept in the WC (which is only barely better then missing by a game IMO)... oh yeah and the team was boring to watch (baseball is entertainment and the 2023 Jays were not entertaining) if you can't be great you ought to at least be fun and the 2023 Jays were neither. The offense was the teams Achilles heel last year and not only did they not address it they made it worse (on paper anyways).
If the Bautista era Jays fell behind I kept watching because I knew they could bash their way back into any game. When last years Jays fell behind I often felt like I may as well get an early start on the rest of my day.
For baseball I'm not much of a "sack the management!" type... but if there isn't a vast vast improvement I want Shapiro and Atkins thrown into a container and shipped to parts unknown.
