Money dingers

 

Where the f*** have you been all summer?

[Masterbather]

If this offense catches fire especially Bo and Vlad, I would be scared to play the Jays if I was any other team right now.

 

Let’s see if they can finally sync up good pitching with good offense!

Nobody is scared to play the Blue Jays.

[Omar]

Nobody is scared to play the Blue Jays.

 

Yes. They are.

[DigitalRock]

Vladdy finally getting hot at the right time?

Utter nonsense the jays have pitching . No one is an easy out including the jays

[John_Havok]

rangers up 6-2 on Seattle.

[Jonn]

Vlad finally trying to pull the ball and its working out

[Casual Fan]

we have clinched a playoff spot.

 

not quite, huh?

[Masterbather]

Yes. They are.

Who the f*** are they scared of? Seriously. The mediocre offense? Our one ace? Deep bullpen, that's about all.

We have one ace and 4 pretty good pitchers. It's a deep rotation but not a great rotation. Bullpen is pretty good, I'll give them that.

[BigCecil]

We have seen a unicorn. A series win at the Trop. Nice bounce back today Jays.

[Omar]

Series Win at the Trop: Accomplished!!

 

[travisinfla]

huge

[BlueJays]

Holy s***. A series win in Tampa. What madness is this?

[Masterbather]

Kirky is wonderful on the defensive side. Wish his bat had not regressed. Get in shape Kirky.

[EdwinsParrot]

Nice D by everyone to win the series

[Delgalladay]

2 out of 3 in Tampa is huge

[Terminator]

rangers up 6-2 on Seattle.

 

The playoffs are nearly a lock after these games go final.

 

The Mariners will be 2.5 back of us with 7 games to go against the Rangers and Astros. They'd have to go on a massive run which would entail the Astros and Rangers racking up Ls.

[travisinfla]

first series win at the Trop in a long time I think since 2014

[L54]

Who the f*** are they scared of? Seriously. The mediocre offense? Our one ace? Deep bullpen, that's about all.

 

Which teams have multiple aces, great offense and a lock down bullpen?

[Jonn]

Blue Jays in prime position right now. Would still like to finish as wild card 3. Playing Minnesota instead of Tampa is immensely important. Need Houston to get their s*** together.

We still have to win some games. Even with today's results we only have one game of cushion in the loss column with Seattle because they own the tiebreaker. Houston losing would be huge because we have that tiebreak on them. That would be like a three-game lead.

[Masterbather]

Which teams have multiple aces, great offense and a lock down bullpen?

Tampa has most of that. More of that than we do. Baltimore has the offense, enough starting pitching for their offense, bullpen has become vulnerable though.

Texas has a killer offense, and enough starting pitching, vulnerable in the middle of their bullpen only.

Seattle has better pitching, better offense too, not a great offense but a better one.

Minnesota has better frontline pitching and the better offense.

Everybody has more than Toronto, even though nobody is perfect in the American League.

We haven't clinched yet but it's getting close. If the scores hold we will have a 99% chance of making the playoffs.

[DigitalRock]

This could have been a sweep. Huge series win

[thatoneguy]

Massive series win in a usual death trap.

[Masterbather]

but astros have 3 with mariners then the rangers series. 2/6 should get us in.

If the Astros lose today, 89 should definitely be the magic number. So yes, two more should do it. Those two might not come easy. King and Cole again for the Yankees. Might take us to the Rays series to do it.

[Casual Fan]

Luck may have turned around for the Blue jays

[Masterbather]

Seattle may yet win today's game. Perez is decent though. But they're into Texas's bullpen.

Don't fret. The Playoffs will be easy to make.
