Who's going to be the curmudgeon to post that they don't like the celebration and they "haven't won anything yet?"
But to be fair, I didn't expect playoff baseball for the Jays this season considering how the team was last season, and the start of this one. But it's why they play the game.

Not going to be a grump about celebrating. I am going to have flashbacks to 2015 when the celebration was followed by two or three absolutely awful games that cost the team 1st place and, you can make the case, a trip to the world series.
I'm proud of this group either way.

This celebration is fine but the next one should only be when clinching the AL overall. They will have at least a 6 day break after that clinching game.
Pretty impressive given the start and the roster isn’t any better on paper than last years mess outside of Santander. But the right mix of role players, Springer going off, and the SP stayed healthy and played as well last year.
Santander added nothing except for when he left the roster the offense improved.
First round bye, as I’ve said for a couple months is key now. Wildcard round besides being a coin flip 3 games series, will take way too much mental energy even they win it, and, you won’t get Gausman until Game 3 of round 2 if they make it out of round 1.
Yesavage with no luck to start his career. First start he’s screwed out of an immaculate inning and in this one 2 of his runs should have been unearned and the other 2 should have been outs.

Yes, but we won both games and there was no denying the quality of his pitching in both starts. So glad they gambled on bringing him up!
Baseball is weird...at least clinch the division before popping the bottles
I agree it's odd...but if somebody brough in a whole cart full of chilled champagne and put plastic over everything, I'd feel a bit weird not popping it off I guess.

I feel like a 6 day break is a long time for baseball players. I'm on the outside, I don't mind if they end up playing in the WC round.
Hockey - Don't even think if celebrating anything until you win the cup.
Baseball 0 bring out the champagne when you clinch the playoffs, again when clinhcing the division, again for every round you win in the playoffs.
New Era & Budweiser sponsorships probably stipulate that there needs to be celebrations at those prescribed times regardless of if the team wants them or not!

Exactly, win the division, get the extra 6 days to rest Bo, starters, and Bullpen and own home field advantage in the ALDS & ALCS. Also if it all ends in the playoffs anyway 2025 would look better in the rafters as a Division win and not a WC participation entry.
3rd 90+ win season in the last 5 years, plus one season with 89 wins.
Maybe Atkins isn't as bad as some people thought.
Hopefully some playoff success coming this year
Like many things, depends on your comparison. Worst GM ever probably not fair, and never was, and do think they've gotten a lot of things right this year.
Over his tenure though, still don't think he's a good GM. Wins/cost is still not great and most of the success, and reason for being here, is due to free agency. Look at drafting/developing, scouting, overall operations of the team they are still batting below avg I think.
