He's "built for this"!  This LCS thing is "old hat" for him now.  He's ready to dominate like he did against the Yankees.  

Bring the bats boys!  No mercy!!

[wewlad]

Must win game, lets get it boys!

[SeranthonySantander]

If we don't win these next 2, we can keep debating the little decision for the next 5 months.  We know if we end up in the World Series John is looking for the first high leverage situation to double down and use little  against the dodgers 3 best hitters, Freeman, Smith and Betts.  And Little will probably strike them all out.

[Trainspotting]

Time to forget the recent past and use the bats to show who is the dominant team.

Yesavage is going to strike out a ton. 

Go Jays Go.

I know one thing, this game is not going to be good for my blood pressure.

Any chance we can have Brendon Little and John Schneider banned from the building?

The Jays have gotten this far due to the offense. Any games that were reasonably close, aside from the bullpen game in Game 4 of the DS, were bullpen implosions (ALDS Game 3, ALCS Games 1-2 and 5). So the Jays have to hit the Mariners starters and make the late game stress free for the bullpen. Close games late will heavily favor the Mariners, even if the Jays are leading.

Springer being healthy is a necessity.

Have we heard anything on Springer's status?

The Little decision is over. Get over it. If Jays scored on their chances in game 5 it will be a different story. If Jays do not win today it's on the players not Schneider

Bases loaded nobody out - can't score.  Multiple times they didn't advance runners.  IKF caught off 2nd.  We didn't execute well all game IMO

Common denominator here is that bum IKF that can’t lay down a bunt and gets caught in a DP

Either way. Giving up 5 runs in the bottom of the 8th is trash. lol 

[bluejaysinternNo5]

Really would like to see Schneider in over IKF today.

I'd like to see Santander take his lower back tightness back to Venezuela instead of hanging out in the dugout as he's done nothing for this team.

Yesterday they said he is better than the day before and he is most likely going to be good to go.  He ain’t no Bo.

Don't forget the other little b*tch Santander. 

[Jays24]

So its fine to crap on the offense even though they've carried this team all year but when you crap on the bullpen/pitching decisions, thats the fine line for some people. 

God forbid a team having to win a playoff game 2-1 because thats unheard of for some people.  Get over yourselves trying to tell people who they should be angry at lol

This team doesn’t have a good enough bullpen to reliably win 1-run games in the playoffs. That’s just how it is.

[Omar]

Don't get the 8pm start time. 5pm would have been better. Roof closed today I assume.

[Kordesi]

Come on Jays. Please win!  It would be the most memorable day. Utd just beat Liverpool and we are on a roll!  Let’s gooo!

IKF is 5-15 lifetime against Gilbert, so that's probably not happening. Not that JS needs an excuse to play IKF, he'd do it even if he were 0-20 lifetime against the starter, but tonight won't be the night that DS plays over IKF. If Springer is out, then it's probably 50/50 between DS or Straw. In other words, please be healthy George. 

[GoBlue41]

Focus people!!! Much of this thread is looking at the past. Let's get excited about the chance to force a game 7 today!! LFG!!!!! Come on Trey.... mow 'em down!!

2pm is too early on the west coast for a game on Sunday?

Certainly too early for MLB in terms of getting the highest viewership, in other word revenue.
