Blue Jays Discussion: The trade deadline has passed. Time to see what this can do (most acquisitions expected to be present Thursday in Minnesota)

Is the sky still falling over here?

Romano, Garcia, Phelps, Bass and Pop all have ERAs under 3 as well. Cimber with a 3.04 ERA.

Hmmmm it's almost like the Jays bullpen might be pretty good or something, but that can't possibly be right!

Hopefully, Whitlock comes out in the 9th.

Yes, the Yankees just proved to us how important it is to "win the trade deadline" and pull your team ahead. They've been on an absolute roll since their amazing trade deadline performance huehuehue.

They win!!!! Yes

 

[Tony Romo]

Don't know if it's been talked about but Yankees get to face Manoah-Degrom-Scherzer for the next 3 games.

We’ve had a few good games against a team in free fall. I wouldn’t be getting ahead of myself

Ah so only measured takes and patience when we are playing well and irrational panic and dooming when we lose then?

Looks like Vladdy wants to sign extension soon, he liked this on his Twitter.

Nope not what I said. But we were 5-9 in august before this mini 3 game win streak in which the yanks is the team I said was in free fall. Those other game were against teams in the wild card race with us so very important games. I’m happy we are taking advantage of said team in free and hopefully the boys build of it but as I said I’m not gonna get ahead of myself

Pujols has been on a massive tear since the start of July. Absolutely destroying lefties this year

I was guilty of the latter but I have been all praise in our play last 4 games. I'm not going to downplay when we play well.

Love to see that he's going out with a bang.

Also I'm absolutely savouring this second half Yankees struggle .. it was quite the glass house they were casting stones from. To see it crash down is... *chef's kiss*

 

[canucksfan]

Twins lose as well. Good scoreboard today for the Jays

 

[EpochLink]

Mariners lost

To the Oakland A’s no less!

 

[Maestro84]

Holy sh*t Pujols went 4 for 4 with 2 HRs tonight...legends never die!!!

Tbh I am a bit concerned how the Jays have played other teams in the picture.

2-5 vs Seattle, 3-4 vs Minny, 3-4 vs Cleveland, 3-5 vs Baltimore, and 4-6 vs Tampa (they only have a winning record against the White Sox at 4-2 and Red Sox at 10-3, but neither look like playoff teams right now).

They surprisingly have a winning record against Houston (4-2) though and could tie 8-8 vs the Yanks after tomorrow so they've actually played the very top teams quite well this year

That’s the concern. They have not faired well against the teams we are likely to face

Ohtani's numbers in the last month are insane
