That Bo injury is looming very large right now. The lineup just looks so much shorter without him.

All the Jays need to do is win 3 of the next 5 games and it doesn't matter what the Yankees do. 

Actually that might not be enough. If the Yankees win their last five they still got the division. 

Crochet pitches tomorrow and we might have to win all four after that.

We are seeing the pathway for Shatkins to be villains of the city if they happen to choke this lead and get swept in the wild card...

Wouldn’t be the worst outcome. Like obviously i want this team to win but i’d also be happy to give Atkins the boot

[jaysthebest]

Get ready to get swept in the Wild Card series against the Red Sox. Jays offense is not taking the game seriously and just goofing around.

[BlueJays]

At this point, I don’t really expect them to hold the division. I just hope Bo is ready for wildcard.

They aren't goofing around, they know they have to win but Bo is more valuable to this line up than anyone gives him credit for.

Yanks win.  Jays are f*cked.  0-2 in the wild card incoming.

Suck farts.

[Stangstag]

Funny we are still 2 games up for the division and everyone here has 0 faith in the Jays to win a couple more games.

[hanton]

The worry should be the slumping bats - I don't care that much if we finish 1st or 2nd;  It takes a while to get into a slump and a while to get out

[Masterbather]

Well if the Blue Jays are getting you down just adopt the Guardians as a secondary team. 

That's a lot of fun right now.

A lot of bad babip luck to my eyes, not sure what the numbers say. Feels like we are getting tons of groundball hits against us, and not able to get any of our own.

I know Bo is one of the best hitters on this team, but 3 hits are not enough, even without him.

I wouldn't say I have zero faith, but the bats are not encouraging. 

[Omar]

JS has to rejig this lineup.  Varsho out of the two spot.  Barger out of cleanup.  Santander in the four hole.

I did the math wrong. Yankees won game 89 not 88. So they have 5 games left and will give them 94 wins max.

Ross would have been gone two years ago easily without Shapiro.

Cuz the Yanks have a cake schedule, and we have to face Crochet tmrw. There's very little chance our offense could score more than 1 run against him.

So would I but im sick of ending every season in an embarrassing fashion after loving this team for most of it.

The schedule is absolutely not in our favour. There's an exceedingly good chance that we'll be tied in the standings by the end of tomorrow given the pitching matchup. 

Sure anything can happen but quality of competition does make a difference.

Fair. This team is nothing if they get bounced in the first round again. 

[jaysthebest]

I'm going to temper my expectations for this season. I hope they can win a single game in the Wild Card Series.  

[Alejandro Murphy]

3 wins only to win the division and get the elusive bye

but gives us a dose of reality when those losses that we take for granted because we thought there are more games left out of 162

😞

[Jonn]

Crochet is insane but the Jays can beat him. Max will need to be solid tomorrow but he's not the second coming of Christ lol. 

[Omar]

Things don't look good but you guys are all doomers and gloomers.  I wouldn't want to be in a foxhole with some of you.

That's a bit of a silly thing to say. Of course nothing is 100% guaranteed, that's why they play the games. But it doesn't take the second coming of Christ, the guy's an ace, possible Cy Young, our hitting looks like garbage and Max Scherzer has been absolutely balls.

Doesn't take walking on water see that the odds are not good for tomorrow's game.

I was saying that only because it seems likely the jays may only win 2-3 of the final 5 games based on matchups.  I feel like tomorrow's game is the most important one they have.  Beat Crochet, get some confidence.
