2025 Blue Jays

Manoah will not be pitching for the jays this season and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he never makes it back to the majors.

At his best he was throwing at about 93mph, and he’s completely lost his command. I’m not wishing that he doesn’t make it back, I just feel that the odds are not in his favour.

His command has gotten a little better in his last couple rehab outings, but I don't see him making the Jays this season. He could be a factor next season, though.

Another offseason to build up his arm. Shouldn't be any excuses next Spring Training.

It's crazy that as a closer he has an 8-5 record. His 28 saves is good for a tie at 3rd in the league though

Some of those reliever wins can be weird:

Hoffman sealed the deal on the late comeback win against the Twins’ farm team

This is funny

Edit: but not as funny as this!

On the topic of the bullpen, at least it looks like the Jays made the right call letting Jordan Romano go. He's been atrocious for the Phillies.

I enjoyed today's game up until Bieber left the game.

I think the Gausman splitter is my favourite pitch in recent memory

Bullpen go boom (derogatory)

Maybe Hoffman just isn't a closer?

Schneider saying "but he has XXX saves" is profoundly tone deaf at this point. The only positive is that he had a more dreadful May and bounced back in June....the bullpen is a major problem.

The offense scoring 1 run and the story being Hoffman is also an issue.

Guerrero being 1 for 20 since coming back from his injury hasn't helped.

100%. As much as the bullpen has let them down, it's tough to win 1-0 games. That's a lot of pressure on what has been proven to be a very mediocre bullpen

Good bounceback to at least salvage the series with a win.

Boston won but the Yankees lost so heading into September the division leaders are:

Detroit	80-58	-0.5
Toronto	79-58	----
Houston	75-62	+4.0

The division is

Toronto	79-58	----	ELIMINATION #
New York	76-61	+3.0	22
Boston	76-62	+3.5	21

Tiebreakers:
1) Best record
2) Best head to head record

Blue Jays hold the tie breaker against Boston with a 7-3 head to head record and 3 games remaining against them
