Scott Stinson: The Blue Jays can improve, but in baseball playoff success is far from guaranteed

The Toronto Blue Jays lost 8-6 to the New York Yankees in the playoffs. The team won 92 games in regular season. Scott Stinson believes that in baseball playoff success is not guaranteed.

Toronto Blue Jays were eliminated from the playoffs. The team was out-played in the Wild Card Series. Manager John Schneider made some questionable decisions. St. Louis Cardinals and New York Mets also lost in this way. The Tampa Bay Rays scored exactly one run in 24 innings over two games. They were playing against a young and inexperienced team. Their fans expected more. Mark Shapiro and Ross Atkins will have to address their weaknesses. If all goes well, they will be back in a position they were at this time last week. It could be long and fruitful or over in an instant.   The Cardinals had MVP seasons from Nolan Arenado and Paul Goldschmidt and got one hit and six strikeouts combined from them in two losses to the Philadelphia Phillies.

Scott Stinson believes the Blue Jays can improve but they are not guaranteed to win the World Series. The team won a lot of games over the past two seasons except for the two that really mattered. They are a long shot to make it to the next World Cup.
