Oh, that’s sad. Of course we’re all sad when a player doesn’t perform to expectations, but I’m not one to support booing your own team.
Any fan who attacks or harasses a player when they’re in public no matter how good or bad they are is honestly a terrible person. If you can’t separate your emotions from a baseball game, you need to reevaluate some things.
That is just so sad and unfortunate. People can be so despicable at times.
I’m not calling anyone a liar but I don’t remember Kooch getting booed. I think at very least we do that less than a couple fanbases.
Reminds me of fans booing Edwin when he was still at the hot corner.
TO fans reaching the level of toxicity of the clowns in NY and Philly
Keep the booing in the stadium. We don’t deserve him back. I hope he goes somewhere where he’s respected no matter what.
I wish there was a way to bar those fans from the dome and cut off their Sportsnet subscriptions. That is fucking despicable.
Love the Kooch and would love to see him back, sad that this might be a factor in him not returning. Even when the results weren’t there he was such an easy guy to like, and the stuff was always electric.
So happy for Yusei. Hope he continues the success.
Verbal abuse at an athlete is one thing but anyone that goes after the family or if the athlete even thinks their family is in any danger – that is complete bullshit and shouldn’t ever be tolerated.
I get we are passionate and love the Jays but being an asshole doesn’t help the Jays attract or retain talent. Besides, it’s a game….sometimes people should chill the fuck out.
