2025 Blue Jays

[Frank E]

They really showed up for that Apple TV game!

They were leaning on their pitching a little too hard, so I'm not even mad that they finally got blown out. They need to get back to hitting better.

Do we figure that pushes Scherzer out of the playoff line up(like RA Dickie)? Or in the least, out of the starters role?

Doubtful be gets start in the LDS, but LCS and WS, he might be the #4, if the Jays get there’s. unless Yesavage kills it again.

Doesn't matter who the starter is if the offense is going to be pure dogshit

1987 collapse incoming.

That Varsho catch…

That Varsho catch…

I don't understand the call at all.

I don't understand the call at all.

I was watching on a 5" screen, at the beach, with sunglasses on and I could clearly see that was a catch. No sport gets video reviews wrong more than MLB.

Between the home run in Florida (I'll at least concede a bit that playing in a minor league stadium the camera angles are worse than in an actual MLB stadium....except the call was still blatantly awful) and this "non-catch" it's hard to not feel a little like MLB is trying hard to give the Yankees the division. I'm sure we are more accurately blame it on incompetence and a general protection of umpires to not overturn their calls regardless of how bad they are.

Big win thouhg to hold on and clinch a playoff spot. The Yankees easy schedule down the stretch...coupled with them taking advantage of those games in a way the Jays haven't been able to do in late August/September keeps the race close.

Off day today to recover from the hangovers and then 6 games remaining.
