"We've? No You have dug us into a deeper hole” - Fans lash out at Blue Jays GM Ross Atkins for remarks on team’s struggles 

The Toronto Blue Jays are having a terrible season and sit at the bottom of the AL East division. The fans are unhappy and General Manager Ross Atkins conceded that it has been a frustrating and disappointing season. Atkins said they have dug themselves into a hole, but there is still time to turn things around.

"Now we've dug ourselves into a little bit of a deeper hole. There's still time for us to get things turned around. It's dependent on a win streak, obviously. We're still capable of that. Again, frustrated, disappointed, I'm the most accountable for that," Ross Atkins said.

Blue Jays fans were unhappy with the manager's comments.

"So Ross, what are you going to do about it? It's long past time to wait for this group to turn it around. Changes need to be made...yesterday!!" one fan chipped in.

"It’s gonna be fame 159 and Atkins and company will say we still got time," one fan responded.
