No matter which phrase you use, it all means one thing: a single game to decide the fate of two franchises. Win the game, and the Blue Jays will be American League champions and will be in the World Series for the first time in 32 years. But if they lose, thei...2796Mon, 20 Oct 2025 15:12:01 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/blue-jays-mariners-alcs-game-six-double-plays-dingers-r2795/The Blue Jays faced their first elimination game of the playoffs, playing an almost textbook Toronto game to force another elimination game tonight. Momentum is a funny thing, isn’t it? In typical Blue Jays fashion, the contributions came from all over the roster. Let’s take a look at how the Ja...2795Mon, 20 Oct 2025 12:05:00 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/alcs-fate-decided-home-field-fans-cant-rest-easy/Eugenio Suárez had been quiet this series, but he turned that around and had a career game on Friday night. The third baseman was 4-for-16 in the first four games with only one run knocked in. In Game 5, he hit a solo home run in the second inning, his first since Game 3 of the ALDS, to give the...2794Sun, 19 Oct 2025 15:59:02 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/trey-yesavage-starts-must-win-game-six/Trey Yesavage is built for this. How could he not be? His season so far has been somewhat of a fairytale: he's gone from being drafted a mere 15 months ago to playing across five different levels in one season, and not only pitching in the major leagues, but doing so in some of the biggest...2793Sun, 19 Oct 2025 13:54:00 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/mariners-alcs-game-five-recap-decisions-decisions/This was a tight game that was blown open in the bottom of the eighth. We’re going to go back to looking at Win Probability Added (WPA) chronologically and highlight the plays that made for the largest swings. Bottom of the Second: Eugenio Suárez hits a solo home run (-12.2% WPA) - 1-0 Seat...2792Sat, 18 Oct 2025 13:53:01 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/mariners-alcs-game-four-recap-history-repeating/In our Game 3 recap, I saved Andrés Giménez for last. This time he’s going first. In Game 3, Giménez came to the plate in the third inning for his first plate appearance. The Jays were already trailing. With a teammate on base and none out, Giménez tied the game with one swing of the bat. Game 4...2790Fri, 17 Oct 2025 10:57:00 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/qualifying-offer-2025-bichette-bieber/Earlier this week, a report from the Associated Press confirmed the price of this year’s qualifying offer: $22.025 million. That number, the average of the 125 highest MLB salaries in 2025, is just under a million dollars higher than last year’s $21.05 million QO. The qualifying offer syste...2789Thu, 16 Oct 2025 17:33:00 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/mariners-alcs-game-three-recap-gotta-belieb-shane-bieber/Whatever your superstition or good luck charm of choice is, if you switched it up between Games 2 and 3, you helped. The Jays, for their part, left the white panel hats in Toronto and switched to the double-blues to wear with their powder blue uniforms. The switches worked, and the bats exploded...2787Thu, 16 Oct 2025 12:15:05 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/its-not-over-yet-r2785/How often has the visiting team won the first two games of a best-of-seven postseason series? Thanks to Sportsnet's Arden Zwelling, I can tell you: 28 times.  How often has that team with a 2-0 lead gone on to win the series? Thanks again to Zwelling's research, I can disappoint you with th...2785Wed, 15 Oct 2025 13:12:02 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/how-can-shane-bieber-succeed-against-the-mariners-r2786/Baseball happens fast. One day, the Toronto Blue Jays were celebrating sweet victory over the game's Evil Empire in the ALDS, and not even a week later, they're embarking on a road trip to Seattle with no guarantee of returning to save their season. The odds and recent history of teams coming ba...2786Wed, 15 Oct 2025 10:59:01 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/delightful-play-dismal-day-nathan-lukes/Nathan Lukes almost didn't play on Monday. Of course, it wouldn't have made much of a difference, as the Blue Jays flopped their way to a 10-3 loss. But yesterday's pounding would have only been even harder to watch without Lukes in the lineup. The outfielder exited early in Game 1 of the A...2784Tue, 14 Oct 2025 22:28:02 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/blue-jays-mariners-alcs-game-2-is-this-how-the-yankees-felt-r2782/In a seven-game series, they say you aren’t in trouble until you lose one at home. Well, now the Jays have dropped two at home and head to Seattle looking to: 1. Avoid the sweep. 2. Force a return to Toronto, and 3. Win the damned series. Long odds to be sure, but this Jays team has been counted...2782Tue, 14 Oct 2025 10:53:00 +0000
