AL Beasts of the East - Division Race '23

[Eat My Shatkins]

Welp, here we go amirite???

 

7 games against the Orioles and Red Sox

 

Jays are 1-12 vs those two teams this season with a -35 run diff

 

Time to slay some dragons (I hope)

Most important strech of the Season. They are going to have to take 2 out of 3 from Baltimore to realistically come back in the division. Everyone’s waiting for them to slump and it isn’t happening.

I am excitedly nervous about this stretch

I don't like the Yankees chances vs the Rays today

 

Glasnow vs German

4 against the O's, Jonn... 3 against the Bosox.

Depends if German is cheating this game or not.

My mistake. 4 against the Orioles : )

All 5 teams back to .500 or above again on September 6. Crazy.

Yup and the Jays will be playing exclusively inside the AL East after the Royals and Rangers series. That 4-game series with the Rangers is basically a playoff series. It will go a long way and deciding who gets the third and final wild card spot. Can't look past the Royals either. That's 3 games you have to get.

And yet somehow all 3 AL East teams got swept in their first playoff round

 

Nuts

Jays wouldn’t have got swept in a 5 game series.

 

I still think it’s dumb the DS is only 5 games. All those good teams sit for a week to have the Season over that quickly. It’s a bit rough.

Almost like the playoffs are a bit of a crapshoot

Jays had the best playoff showing of the 3 AL East teams by far. Congrats everyone.

Playoff individual game wins in the 2020s (just from my bad memory, close for sure, but correct me if I am wrong anywhere)

 

Tampa Bay - 11

Yankees - 7?

Red Sux - 6 I thinks

Orioles - 0

Blue Jays - 0

 

Advancements to ALDS via wild card bypass or wild card win

 

Yankees 2

Tampa Bay 2

Sox 1

Orioles 1

Blue Jays 0

In the 2020s, what was suppose to be the Jays great cycle with the legendary 80 hit tool Vladimir Guerrero Jr. leading the way, the Blue Jays are last in ALDS appearances in their division with a grand total of 0. Everyone else has one.

 

Fire Shapiro. Hopefully he is presented this stat tomorrow and resigns.

 

Keep Atkins and Schneider. They are save-able with the right guidance.
