Owen and Mac discuss the Blue Jays' 6-2 win over the Dodgers in Game 4 of the World Series. After an excruciating 18-inning loss in Game 3, Toronto got 5 1/3 innings out of Shane Bieber, and the bullpen closed the door.

Both bullpens absorbed an extreme workload in the 18-inning Game 3. Los Angeles used 10 pitchers, including a one-batter cameo from Clayton Kershaw, and got four scoreless innings in extras from Will Klein. Toronto ran through a long list of relievers as well; left-hander Eric Lauer covered 4 2/3 scoreless innings. Shohei Ohtani reached base nine times as the Dodgers’ designated hitter in that marathon. Shohei Ohtani starts for the Dodgers. In this postseason, he carries a 2.25 ERA with 19 strikeouts, including six scoreless innings in the National League Championship Series clincher. Ohtani’s role is straightforward: work deep enough to bridge a bullpen that was heavily taxed in the 18-inning game.

In Game 3, Teoscar Hernández and Ohtani homered early, and Freddie Freeman ended it with a walk-off home run in the 18th. Ohtani’s Game 3 line featured four extra-base hits and four intentional walks, along with the game-tying home run in the seventh. The sequence of production at the top and middle of the order has been consistent, with Smith and Muncy adding power and Freeman supplying the final swing on Monday. Blue Jays hitters opened the series with a decisive inning at Rogers Centre. In Game 1, Daulton Varsho homered to tie the game, Addison Barger delivered a pinch-hit grand slam, and Alejandro Kirk added a late home run. In Game 3, Kirk homered again in the fourth to push Toronto ahead at the time, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. scored from first on a Bo Bichette single off the right-field wall in the seventh. Toronto also cycled every position player into the marathon, which affected substitutions and matchups in extras. View full article

The World Series has landed in Los Angeles. Max Scherzer and Tyler Glasnow take the mound for Game 3 with very different October workloads. Glasnow has allowed one run in 13 1/3 postseason innings for a 0.68 ERA, striking out eight in back-to-back starts. He worked six scoreless frames in the NLDS and followed with 7 1/3 one-run innings in the NLCS, yielding a combined 0.60 WHIP over those two outings. His pitch mix this month has leaned on the four-seamer and slider, with the splitter showing as a chase pitch to lefties. The line entering Game 3 is 0.68 ERA with 18 strikeouts.

In Game 1, Kirk singled to start the sixth-inning rally and later added a two-run homer; he also lifted a sacrifice fly in Game 2 for Toronto’s lone run. Barger delivered a pinch-hit grand slam in the sixth of Game 1, the first pinch-hit grand slam in World Series history. Varsho tied Game 1 with a two-run homer to center and was hit by a pitch in the decisive sixth that loaded the bases ahead of the breakout sequence. Two Blue Jays who have not produced hits so far in the Series are George Springer and Nathan Lukes. Springer was retired in key spots in Game 1 and went hitless in Game 2 as Toronto managed only five hits against Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Lukes has not recorded a hit in either game. Toronto finished Game 2 with one run on Kirk’s sacrifice fly and saw its final 20 batters retired. View full article

Toronto recorded 14 hits in an 11–4 Game 1 win, highlighted by a nine-run sixth inning at Rogers Centre. Daulton Varsho tied the game in the fourth with a homer to center, then was hit by a pitch to load the bases in the sixth. It was the first home run Blake Snell had allowed to a left-handed hitter this season. Bo Bichette opened the sixth with a leadoff walk. Alejandro Kirk followed with a groundball single to right, then later in the inning added a two-run homer to extend the lead. Ernie Clement put Toronto ahead with a groundball single up the middle. Nathan Lukes, batting off the bench, drew a nine-pitch walk with the bases loaded. Andrés Giménez lined a single to right to keep the rally moving. Addison Barger delivered the decisive swing with a pinch-hit grand slam to right-center, the first pinch-hit grand slam in World Series history. Toronto’s approach set the tone early by working Snell for 29 pitches in a scoreless first inning, then broke through as the lineup turned over in the middle frames. Game 2 of the World Series will feature RHP Yoshinobu Yamamoto for Los Angeles and RHP Kevin Gausman for Toronto. The probables list each with updated postseason lines entering Saturday. Kevin Gausman enters with 18 innings in four postseason appearances, a 2.00 ERA, 12 strikeouts, and a 1.06 WHIP. He made two earlier Game 1 starts this postseason, then started again in ALCS Game 5 and later appeared in relief in ALCS Game 7.

Teoscar Hernández is next among regulars at .887 OPS, and Mookie Betts sits at .809. Among Dodgers with at least 30 at-bats, Andy Pages has the lowest OPS at .249 (3-for-35).  The pitching matchup features a lefty starter against a righty-leaning Toronto order that has leaned on Guerrero’s power and Clement’s contact rates this month, while Los Angeles pairs Snell’s run prevention with a top of the order producing on base and slug from Ohtani and Betts. Yesavage’s strikeout totals provide a counter with swing-and-miss, and his most recent 5 2/3-inning effort put him in position for a full workload in this opener.  Toronto’s lineup has been paced by Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who owns a 1.440 OPS with 6 home runs in 43 at-bats this postseason. Ernie Clement follows at 1.063 OPS, while George Springer is at .930.

Hello, Jays fans! Twice a year, I sit down and find the most popular posts and blogs on Jays Centre, and their creators receive prizes for their contributions to the sprawling behemoth that is this site. While the 2025 Blue Jays season is still underway, we’re handing out awards over the 162-game season. We look at the most popular posts and blogs created by our users. Let's dive into the most popular content of the 2025 MLB season. Most Popular Post On the final day of the regular season, @Omar dropped a dancing GIF into the game thread, celebrating the Jays' successful season as they took the first seed in the American League and won the AL East. Such a celebratory post was the most popular of the season! For this well-liked post, you win this replica 1992 World Series champions ring. Please private message @Brock Beauchamp with your address so I can ship this fun prize to you! Most Popular Post Runner-Up I'm a little embarrassed to admit that the runner-up post is something of a rarity on these lists: it's actual baseball analysis. Shane Bieber returned to the major leagues on August 22, which led @sliderguy35 to break down the new Blue Jay and celebrate his first start with the team. Most Popular Game Thread I like to look back at the season and find which game thread (of the regular season) was the most popular. In the Jays' case, that was the very last game of the regular season, which should surprise no one. A lot was riding on that game, as the Jays and Yankees were in lock-step for the American League East crown and a bye round. This thread had a whopping 809 replies! Most Popular Blog Post Not only is the following blog post the only blog post of the season, it's the first blog post since Jays Centre relaunched! And congratulations to @TheShow for taking that leap, and breaking down the Blue Jays' performances in the ALDS! For this well-liked post, you win this unopened box of 1988 Topps baseball cards! Please private message @Brock Beauchamp with your address so I can ship this fun prize to you! Most Popular Blog Post Runner-Up There was no second blog post this year; if you’d like to start your own blog and reach thousands of like-minded Jays fans, click here! Most Prolific Poster We always like to hat-tip the poster who earned the most reputation points, which are given based on the number of posts, how many users liked that content, and other metrics. In the 2025 season, it was @Omar! Thanks for being such a great contributor to Jays Centre! That's all for this season, folks. Give a round of applause to all of those mentioned in this piece, and here's to a successful postseason and offseason for the Blue Jays! View full article

It's hard to predict how this offseason will unfold, as there is an increasing chance of (yet another) MLB lockout following the 2026 season. Will teams spend big this offseason, hoping to create surety in the face of an unknown collective bargaining agreement? Or will they be hesitant in hopes of a favorable outcome for ownership groups? No matter how it shakes out, teams will need to compete in the 2026 season, and they'll need to sign free agents this winter. DiamondCentric has compiled a complete list of free agents, sortable and searchable by pretty much any metric you need. Looking for a first baseman? A catcher? We have you covered. We offer two pages for your reference: one for position players, the other for pitchers.
