Listless effort against Rangers lights a fire under frustrated fans. Are Jays fans bailing on team as fight for playoff spot gets serious?
Sure, kids are back to school and money is tight, but is a fan base that filled the Rogers Centre through much of the summer fed up?It certainly feels like a sizeable portion of Blue Jays nation is feeling that way, a sentiment expressed via social media reaction to many of our posts following the Wednesday debacle.“Maybe we fans are simply fed up with a team that overpromised in the spring and under delivered all season.
“I have had a quarter seasons ticket for 15 years — there have been some horrendous teams in the last 15 years and I have gladly went. This is the first year where it’s felt like pure torture to go and I can’t stand the thought of committing 6k for my seats next year.”“The fans have given up. I think there is a strong sense of empathy. With Fall coming, fans can switch their loyalty back to the Leafs.
But with 16 games remaining, fans clearly are getting dismayed at a team with which there were much higher expectations. They let loose steadily with their jeers on Wednesday, noise impossible not to be heard and felt by the team and its coaches. And it had to feel a little like piling on.Displaced ace not ready to compete? More on the shutdown of Blue Jays' Alek Manoah
