laughs in 2013 Blue Jays
3 of our 4 big offseason signings just went down in one press conference
So this is the timeline where optimism goes to die huh
Not a great 24 hours for Toronto sports...
Like u/VGtoasty mentioned with disappointment being optimism in a shiny coat. And even with the seemingly lost Raps season, Jays injuries where a closer could be found with an offload of McGuire, or some of the prospect capital, the injuries already being dealt with or new in Pearson, Springer, Ray, Hatch, Yates. We do have the Leafs going for us. With Simmer back from injury and bashing heads in while nosing for the net, what Dubas may have up his sleeves at the deadline or more or less 2 weeks before the deadline so we can have more seasoning for whomever comes into the squad, Soupy getting SO/quality tending, Andy coming back hopefully tomorrow or more or less when he’s fully healthy before the playoff push, Hyms offering quality 2ndary scoring and it’s a matter of time before Matty & Mitchy start playing again like a house on fire. There is strong, real optimism for the Leafs, no doubt.
Obviously it sucks that it all piled up at once, but other than Yates all of them project to be short-term losses with most of the injury time spent during meaningless spring training. Obviously it's not good but there's no reason the whole roster (minus Yates) isn't good to go two weeks into the season, so it's hardly the end of the world.
To summarize:
Bad
Bad
Bad
Bad
TL;dr: not good
walks into sea
and drowns in sadness🙃🥲
Good thing they have that new state of the art training facility. 😂😂😂
Shapiro- "I told you we should have built the daycare!"
Also Shapiro - "No more stairs, no more blenders, no more sharp corners, no NOTHING."
Did the Avengers lose or something???
Snap 2.0
That’s awful.... wow eh
And groin injury for Pearson
Would any other team have the appetite to go big on a trade this close to the start of the season? It seems like it’s time to use some of this prospect depth to bring on a real starter.
This week is a very cursed week for the Blue Jays.
Pain.
We good we good

The same reason that everyone was concerned before the injuries: Because we have no pitching.
Giles 2.0
And that's without mentioning Hatch or Pearson... oof...
It’s the collective hope of a country that caused these injuries
What happened here was that I was feeling hopeful when I should have been strangling that hope in its crib.
Optimism is just disapointment in a shiny new coat.
