Red Sox (Giolito) vs Blue Jays (Gausman): 9/23/25, 7:07pm

[jaysthebest]

This was the type of game where your star player, a.k.a. the 500m man, had to carry the team, but as usual, he disappeared when it mattered.

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. 

this offense is bad against any starting pitcher

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. 

Im kinda expecting Max to be blasted again tomorrow.

I just think people being doomers is not productive right now. Pitching matchup is not great on paper. But Max has performed well in plenty big moments in his career. Anyone can be beaten on any given night.

John is a scapegoat manager and he knows it. When they lose the division, he'll be sitting there saying it doesn't feel that bad.

Hopefully he's solid.  Crochet is due for a bad outing. Maybe he gets ass blasted tomorrow.

Haha, I’m with you on that.

I hope he goes out and shoves, would be a shame to end his career on 2 terrible starts

$500 million bum 

[Laika]

Horrible night but honestly sort of one of those games where nothing goes your way 

More than one liner or hard hit ball down the line that went just foul or was called foul 

Ump taking two runs from them 

s*** like that

It doesn't really matter how people react on a message board or in real life, we have no influence over anything that happens on the field tomorrow. The Blue Jays are the ones that need to be productive.

Of course anything can happen, but it's fair to be concerned about tomorrow's game and the fact that we could end up tied in the standings by the end of it.

If you had $100 to lay down tomorrow would you bet that we finish the day with that one game lead or with the same record as the Yankees? 

Be honest.

Be honest.

By the logic, the most unlikely outcome in this case would be a 2 game lead (Jays win/Yankees lose), so I'm not sure what this is supposed to say.

Yeah felt like they got some terrible luck today. On both ends of the ball.

But even if we do we still have the tiebreaker. Kind of just have to take it one day at a time. Push comes to shove they still made the playoffs. They will need to play their best Baseball in October to win the World Series regardless of who they play and what route it takes to get there. I want the division title as much as anyone else. But like were in the playoffs. Lets try to remember that and enjoy it a little bit. Growing up I watched this team miss the playoffs every year from 1994-2015. Jays still have a chance to secure the division hopefully it happens.

[jaysthebest]

Does John Schneider still think there's no spot for Santander in this lineup?

I believe he’s saying the most likely scenario is that the standing remain the same tomorrow, but that doesn’t really take into account that the Jays will be playing a much tougher matchup

Sorry brother.  It's so hard when I'm here with my 9 year old and he's devastated.

Long 2.5 hr ride home from that game.

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. 

Your eyes would be correct

We had an xBA of .282 to the Sox's .218

[fellowcanuck]

hey gang just joined the chat never knew this existed. longtime diehard of our jays. tonite was disappointing but we still can win the division. Tiebreaker is huge for us. Yanks schedule is so soft but hopefully they are super hung over tomorrow 🤓

The disappointment in his child's eyes was too much to take. The Brownie turning to villain arc is now complete. Nothing short of a World Series win will bring him out of the darkside.

We still hold the division lead and Fangraphs has us at 75% to win it. The 1-game lead (effectively 2 with the tiebreaker) looks small, but with only 5 games left we’re still in control.

This Yankee team gets treated like it's the 1927 version, but they barely slipped past the White Sox tonight. If Chicago can push them, the Orioles can definitely take a game, or even two with Trevor Rogers pitching. The Yankees have made a strong push, but they’re almost out of time.

Scenarios:

• Jays finish 4-1, Yankees can’t catch us
• Jays finish 3-2,  Yankees must go 5-0
• Jays finish 2-3, Yankees must go 4-1
• Jays finish 1-4, Yankees must go 3-2
• Jays finish 0-5, Yankees must go 2-3

Our slump has made this closer than it should be, but still having a 75% chance shows how far ahead we were.

Bro people aren't 'dooming' theyre frustrated that we're blowing the division with a week left in the season, We also have s*** matchups rest of season combined with the Yankees having an absolute cake walk schedule. 

Obviously it isn't over but there are like 4-5 guys in the lineup slumping at same time with Scherzer on the mound doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

Im seeing a lot of dooming. People saying we already lost the division lol.
