Varsho is so painful to watch at the plate. He looks like a real player. I have no idea why he looks so lost most nights at the plate.

Reminds me of Kevin Pillar.

Our Ace tanking and Varsho not living up to the trade really hurt this year. If not for that, I think we could been in World Series.

Nice clean inning Hicks

Didn't know the world series was already played and decided.

 

[Da Cool Rula]

Loving this!!! Jays coming through

 

[Forgotusername]

Keep em coming

Didn't know the world series was already played and decided.

It was scripted around the same time the NFL season script was finalized. Manfred is notoriously cheap so he just piggybacked on the NFL's writing hires.

 

[TMLeafer]

Herowitz!

 

[MK78]

These extra runs are great in the 9th.

 

[Eyedea]

Look out for those big bad Yankees guys.

 

[Vector]

Jesus, the size of Judge. Biggio is 6'2 200 and looks like Craig Grebeck standing in front of him.

Hahaha! My wife was just making the same observation.

Gausman's been good outside of some recent hiccups.


(yes, this is my mildly passive-aggressive way of noting that Gausman is the "real" ace of the Jays' staff because he's better than Manoah. Yes, even last year. He got hosed on Cy Young votes.)

 

[Discoverer]

Don't get cocky yet. They could still catch the Jays if they run the table and the Jays lose 10 straight to end the season.

they could do it if Derek Jeter showed up in the locker room before tomorrow's game to encourage them.

 

[cyris]

What do you think guys, should we still be worried about the Yankees?
lololol

 

[canucksfan]

So if they Jays win five more games, they very likely make the playoffs?

 

[MS]

Magic number is now 6.

(technically 13 but someone has to lose the 7 Seattle-Texas games)

 

[MK78]

Well it looked like a more convincing win than it actually was, it really looked like they were trying to win 1-0. Got lucky in the 8th with the bases loaded walks, and then some more insurance in the 9th.

But they all count, and they kept pace with the other teams in the race.

 

[mikeyz]

I have to give the Jays a lot of credit in this series. They showed up and are really kicking the shit out of the Yankees. I know that their offense has been really erratic to say the least this year. But so far down the stretch here they've shown up.

So if they Jays win five more games, they very likely make the playoffs?

They may not even need that many considering how many times Seattle and Texas play each other.

Magic number is now 6.

Is it 6 even with those 7 Seattle Texas games?? Dam. I thought that number would have been much lower

 

[LaP]

Don't count the Yankees out yet guys. They can still make it.

 

[MS]

Is it 6 even with those 7 Seattle Texas games?? Dam. I thought that number would have been much lower

Yup - here's the math!

Texas and Seattle are both at 84-68 with 10 games remaining, 7 of which are against each other.

If they split the games 4-3, the team winning 3 games could still win their remaining 3 games to finish with 90 wins. If so, the Jays who are currently 85-67 would have to go 6-4 in their last 10 games to get to 91 wins, since they don't have the tiebreak with either team.

Realistically, though, 5-5 almost certainly gets it done.

In the worst case scenario (for the Jays) the loser of the 7 game TEX/SEA series will have 3 wins. It (the loser) can also win the 3 other games left on their schedule giving the team 6 more wins before the season ends.

Since they Jays are currently a game ahead of both TEX and SEA they only need to match that 6 win total to finish ahead in the standings.

Lol. You f***ers are never going to let me hear the end of this are you?

I deserve it though

Yeah, that makes sense.
