Blue Jays Discussion: That's it: Jays win, but don't get help from TB/WSH & are eliminated from playoff contention

[Cor]

Yeah, we need to win both games here. Hope Seattle lose tonight and Red Sox lose one of their last two

Crazy to think if we didn’t go 3-3 against the TIGERS late August or managed to get an extra win against Minny a couple weeks ago, we’d be in a whole different spot.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Love the optimism but sweeping the Os is the bare minimum it’s gonna take to get in. Even if they do that I’m not too confident they’ll be in.

Yup, the stars are gonna have to align to make it. We really need the yankees to get swept and for Boston to lose 1 of 2 against a really bad Nationals team. And that's assuming we sweep Baltimore and Seattle doesnt sweep LAA. A lot needs to go our way to make the tie breaker game.

FYI, Angels-Mariners is on Sportsnet. Heading to the 7th.

I have no problem with Ohtani making an MVP statement this weekend.

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Mariners have that bullshit 2015 Kansas City luck.

 

[Hoverhand]

and the Angels bring in a lefty to face Kelenic who is... *checks notes*

Better against righties than lefties.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Who cares if he swung, the ball was in the zone

Quijada saves the day.

Battled off a leadoff triple and a walk.

I love that board

Sorry, I wasn't clear. If the Jays had one more win than they do now I would be very confident they would make it. SO if they had 90 wins instead of 89.

I said at the time that I hoped that game they gave away in April when they ridiculously started the absolutely horrible Tanner Roark wouldn't come back and bite us in the ass at the end of the year ... and here we are.

 

[zeke]

Leadoff double be seager down 1 in the 9th.

But 2 outs since and he's still at 2nd.

1 more to go.

 

[zeke]

And the mariners lose.

Just need Boston to lose one now.

 

[Hoverhand]

LETSSSSS GOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Eyedea]

Welcome back Seattle

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Thank you, Iglesias.

Now we just need Boston to lose at least once.

 

[jetsforever]

Angels hold them off!

A struggling Josiah Gray going for the Nats tomorrow. eek.

hoping he finds some magic from earlier this season

Blue Jays run differential: +166
Mariners run differential: -49
Tied.

That stat shows that the Bluejays have been unlucky and the Mariners have been lucky. The Bluejays are the better team.

 

[Nineteen67]

Meaningful game on Oct 2.

Meaningful game on Oct 2.

Even if they don't make the playoffs at least they're playing meaningful baseball in October, which is very similar to making the playoffs.
