Jays Roster Discussion

Wow Pillar smoked that pitch like a viking with Thor's hammer!

Maybe it's because this is a daytime series, but it doesn't seem like there is as much interest in the Jays as there was last year, social media seems to be significantly quieter.

I think it'll pick up. As others have said, that initial rush from having a meaningful September and making the playoffs for the first time in 22 years isn't there this year, and they also weren't the same awe-inspiring offensive juggernaut they were last year. I imagine things will pick up a fair bit on Sunday when the Jays are back in town.

Social media may be quieter but TV ratings and attendance have been great this season.

Whoa Blue Jays!  They've certainly made a mess of Texas' pitching.  And how! 

Plus, another pitching gem this time from ace J.A. App, with Osuna closing out.

The Jays with a 2 games to 0 lead in this best-of-five ALDS, have a chance to win it all in Game 3 at home.

GO JAYS GO!!

Back-to-back in Texas during afternoon work hours. Sunday night at the Roger's Center is going to be insane.

Give Encarnacion whatever he wants for his next contract.

Boston will

JD laces a double, but he's really labouring. Hips don't lie.

Dyson coming in to face Bautista...? Edit: Missed opportunity.

 

[herman]

Hips don't care!

JD takes the plate on a bad DP throw to first!

 

[bustaheims]

Head's up play by Donaldson. That's how championships are won.

 

[Kin]

Something about it ending on an error by Odor, I don't know, it just feels right.

 

[hockeyfan1]

How sweep it is!  The Blue Jays sweet the Rangers 3 games to 0 in this best-of-five ALDS.  Thanks to a throwing error by the Rangers in the 10th inning on an attempted double play, which enabled the Jays Donaldson to score from second base all the way to home plate.  Smart play by Donaldson on that one, as the Jays win it 7-6.

The Blue Jays, having reached the ALCS for the second consecutive season, now await the winner of the Cleveland /Boston ALDS, in which the Indians currently lead 2 games to 0.  Game 3 goes Monday in Boston.

That throw had a bit of an odour on it

If you want to see the walk-off win as called by Jerry, here it is.  Worth the watch:

We're going to Cleveland!

 

[Kin]

I can't lie, Texas and Boston both getting swept has me pretty happy.

 

[Heroic Shrimp]

So, MLB got the sexy Toronto-Cleveland ALCS matchup they were so hoping for!

With the Raptors defeat by the Cavaliers this year, I guess there's sort of a Toronto-Cleveland sports rivalry now...?

 

[bustaheims]

If the Cubs beat the Giants tonight, of the remaining teams, the Jays will have the most recent World Series win. If the Nats also beat the Dodgers, none of the other remaining teams will have won a World Series since well before the Jays entered the league.

Yeah, don't know what your talking about. The Jays fans are out in full force.
