though both used 'optics'

This is on Rogers, which wants a slimmer payroll and a stronger pipeline of cheap, controllable talent. That’s no less valid a way to run a team, and other than Noah Syndergaard, there aren’t any ex-Jays prospects that you can point to as obviously bad deals.
...
The optics are terrible here—right now, it looks like the Blue Jays giving a boot to the man who oversaw their rise from mediocrity to contender, and repudiating his strategies that got them there—but the cult of the executive is a trap. There are lots of people out there capable of building championship teams, and multiple ways to do it.

Petchesky belongs to the same progressive sportswriting consensus as Dan does, it's just that Dan deviates a little by worshiping executives a lot.

I remember Barry was really active on /sp/ back before that board totally circled the drain. He played in the Age of Empires II tournaments even. I dont think he would appreciate being linked to the board anymore.
