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

The start time is likely based on what time they think will get the most eye balls. Sunday afternoon during the NFL season is not ideal for any other sport, and 8 pm seems to be every major network's prime time sweet spot. 

[G-Snarls]

First literal must win game 

Find a way to score a few and pitch well to the top of their order 

Yesavage let's do it

The Blue Jays are perfectly capable of beating the Mariners twice in a row, but holy f@ck it would be nice if they only had to win one out of two games to close out the series. 

[Laika]

Game plan:

No lineout double plays 

No once in a generation bases loaded random double plays 

No 363 foot flyouts stolen from being homers 

No 340 foot pop fly homers surrendered

You forgot to add no Brendan Little in a close game in the later innings.

I think that's impossible. Schneider never regretted his decision. He's definitely going to use him again to prove something.

Little is Schneider's lover.

There is literally no other explanation. 

It's the only way it all makes sense.

And Davis Schneider must be a cousin he hates or something

Absolutely. These things are solely based on how to maximize the money earned. MLB prefers WS matches  between new york and LA teams, because that makes them earn most. This time however they are hoping for a WS between Dodgers and Blue Jays, because viewership for a WS between LA and TO will likely  surpass that between NY and LA based on the viewership for ALDS between Yankees and Blue Jays, I am told.

It's 100% going to happen again. The Jays can't afford to have any close games the rest of this series.

What if Schneider's using Little to motivate (coerce) the batters into avoiding close games?

Little warming up in the first inning?

[HomeRunHomer]

Bats needs to show up and give the Jays a big lead so Schneider will feel safe using high leverage arms.

[SeranthonySantander]

This game has big implications 

[Stangstag]

Key jersey switch to the home whites for the rest of this series!

Lets get it boys

[neverbeenhere]

I guess managerial decisions may have the most impact in baseball only, one foolish decision by JS could have thrown away the entire season for the team, I don't think that is that critical in other sports. 

[Kordesi]

Let’s go Blue Jays!  

[BlueJays]

Less than 30 minutes to go. Hoping for bats to come alive. It's do or die.

[Omar]

 

LET'S GO BLUE JAYS

 

I'm not ready for the season to end.

[SeranthonySantander]

They should force the players to play a 9 month season.   Maybe do 4 games a week.  162 games. Teams save a bit by rostering one or two less pitchers.  More rest between games.  Every team has to get a roof.  Learn to play in the cold.

[Spanky__99]

One Game at a time, LETS GET THIS! GO JAYS GO!!!

[SeranthonySantander]

This is why you can’t trust googles Ai.  I asked it what is the start time for the MLB game today

it came up with this

AI Overview

+1

 

There are no Major League Baseball (MLB) games scheduled for today, October 19, 2025. The MLB season has concluded, with the final game of the World Series taking place on October 26, 2025.

Me neither.

But honestly, this season is already a win. From the crap season they had last year, to missing out on the latest top dollar free agent to winning the division and the ALDS... everything from that point on is gravy.  

0 people thought the Jays were legit AL East contenders.

0 people though they would win the DS. 

This season is already a massive win for the team. Whether the season ends tonight or not there is absolutely no reason to mad at how the season and playoffs went. 

None.

[G-Snarls]
