Blue Jays GDT: 2023 v12 | Sun, Oct 1 | vs TB *Last Regular Season Game* | 3:00pm ET/12:00pm PT | Lopez vs Parsons

[Kurtz]

Chapman has cost himself what, maybe $100 mil over the past couple of months?

 

[LaP]

Last year was the trailer, this year is the movie, what is next year?

The straight to streaming sequel.

[edit] ah **** should have read the replies somebody beat me to it

I'd imagine but then again it's MLB... He may bet on himself on a short deal, or go lower average and secure his retirement deal. The Jays dodged a bullet not going more than 2 years, or over reacting on his hot start.

 

[trellaine201]

Wow Houston blows it open. Good for us?

 

[dredeye]

As soon as I fool myself into any kind of maybe this is it moments with this jays team they pull me back to reality

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

At least they'll be on the road if they make it in

Offense is hot garbage at home for whatever reason

I actually wondered if that has become a distraction for him but like someone else posted I think he’ll take a short term deal to try and prove himself again. I can see one year in New York

It's been hot garbage all year.

As a matter of fact, this may actually be one of the worst hitting teams in recent Blue Jays memory.

Teo does Teo things. Don't miss those fielding mistakes. Yikes.

16th in runs scored, 10th WRC+ and 12th in ops. Has definitely been disappointing but it’s around league average, not hot garbage.

It’s weird because most of the time, Jays have a top ten offence especially when they have a good team.

 

[trellaine201]

Not funny but every time i see thornton pitch he gives up a hr, not lieing

And they've been shutout the most of any team in the league this year and for a large % of the season were bottom 3 in average with RISP.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Hopefully Houston doesn't blow it here. Jays need their ass saved again

 

[phillipmike]

It’s the worst possible outcome for us tonight unless Seattle keeps losing.

 

[trellaine201]

98.3

Tomorrow’s outcomes

 

[Suntouchable13]

If Jays go 2-2, they are basically in? Seattle would have to sweep Texas in order to tie the Jays in the standings.

 

[fancy lad]

i'm going to the game tonight. First time in a while.

It would be nice if they showed some fight.

 

[go_leafs_go02]

It's a dynamic arrangement for sure for standings. A lot of variables in the AL West that could impact where the Jays sit.

MLB has some tiebreaking scenarios:

Chaotic tiebreaker scenarios avoided on final day of regular season

A number of chaotic three- and four-team tie scenarios involving the AL West, AL Wild Card and NL Wild Card remained in play until the final days of the 2023 regular season. Ultimately, though, none ended up coming to fruition. There was a two-team tie between the Astros and Rangers,

And that's not even talking his plate performance, his defense has declined significantly this year.

His errors have gone up from 5 last year to 12 this year, and there have been far too many plays in the dirt or off base that Vladdy has to stretch and dig out or swat a player running down the line.

I think he'll still get paid by some desperate team.

For comparison, Bo only has 8 errors this year, down from 23 & 24 in the last two seasons.

2-2 probably does it but the magic number is still 3. We only need one of Seattle or Houston to lose a single game for the magic number to be 2. But this is baseball, both teams could just as easily win out. Jays need to start winning some games.

Agreed. Jays need to win their win in. I just wanted Sunday to be meaningless, looks less likely that could be the case. We will see.
