The New York Yankees and their fans have lived that self-fulfilling prophecy for the better part of the last 16 years, especially last October, when they saw their best chance at a World Series title since 2009 vanish thanks to the heroics of one Freddie Freeman. Do yo...2775Fri, 10 Oct 2025 10:52:02 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/alds-game-4-all-hands-on-deck-eliminate-yankees/It started as a tight game in both directions, with the lowest-scoring first six innings of the series. To that point, the Jays had used five pitchers in their planned bullpen game: Louis Varland, Mason Fluharty, Seranthony Domínguez, Eric Lauer and Yariel Rodríguez. The only blemish was a...2774Thu, 09 Oct 2025 10:53:02 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/yankees-alds-game-three-bad-defence-blown-lead-cost-toronto-sweeo/Many of the best baseball teams have an identity; the Toronto Blue Jays are no exception. All season, they’ve been known as a group that does the little things right.

But over the weekend, things finally changed. Trey Yesavage made history as a 22-year-old, and Kevin Gausman did what you want your number one starter to do.

I floated a number of names as potential Game 2 starters, including Trey Yesavage, but ultimately landed on Chris Bassitt for the second game and penciled Yesavage in for Game 4. Well, now that we have two...2768Mon, 06 Oct 2025 15:52:00 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/jays-yankees-alds-game-two-recap/In our review of Game 1, we looked at the at-bats that generated at least a 10% swing in win probability. If we went that route for Game 2, this would be a real short read. There was only one AB in the whole game that crossed that threshold. That was Ernie Clement’s two-run home run in the secon...2767Mon, 06 Oct 2025 12:51:02 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/yankees-blue-jays-alds-game-two-thread-by-the-numbers-r2766/Toronto and New York play ALDS Game 2 today at Rogers Centre (4:08pm start time), one day after Toronto won Game 1 by a 10–1 score.  The starters are left-hander Max Fried for the Yankees and right-hander Trey Yesavage for the Blue Jays.

Every Jays starter had a hit, drove in a run, or scored. The pitchers were all efficient and limited the damage to just one run and six hits against a pot...2765Sun, 05 Oct 2025 12:15:02 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/blue-jays-yankees-game-one-thread-by-the-numbers-r2764/Toronto and New York meet on Saturday with right-handers Kevin Gausman and Luis Gil starting for their respective teams.
