Angels (Detmers) vs Blue Jays (Cease): 5/8/26, 7:07pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

Alright, so maybe the Angels aren't terrible, but this is the kind of team the Jays need to take care of. They're at home, and Cease is on the mound.

Channelling my inner Jim Mora here:

'Division? Don't talk to me about division! We can't even win a game!'

Don't let the Debbie Downers get to you. 

The team is a game and a half back of a Wild Card spot and we are relatively healthy for the first time all season with Kirk on track to return by month's end.

The Angels are in town and Cease is on the bump. I'm excited as hell for some Jays baseball this weekend.

Thank you for the reminder that despite everything possible going wrong we are still just a game and a half out of a playoff spot.

16-21 is basically just a mediocre stretch that every team goes through at some point in the year. The Rays' series at the Trop was a bummer, but we were in decent shape heading into it, all things considered, with how miserable we've been with injury luck.

The Yankees could easily go 15-15 over their next 30 games while we break out. The Rays, despite their devil magic, haven't even rated as a good team, regression is expected to come for them.

The second WC team was the other team in the ALCS last year lol. We're fine, lot of season left to go.

The AL is all kinds of ass this season. I would assume some other teams are going to start to break away from the pack to follow the Yankees and Rays, but could be one of those years when a WC spot can be had with a low/mid 80's win total.

2 wildcard spots at under .500 is so nutty lol. Exactly why its dumb to worry too much about standings this early.

Just need to play better ball and get back to .500
