  1. Jays fans showed what great fans we have, even with the disappointing season we had, fans stuck with the team all year and rarely booed our players. Shows that we are on a different level then most other teams fanbases like the Yankees.
  2. Surprised Vladdy is sitting out the last game of the season. Been a rough year for him, hopefully he rebounds in a big way next year and shuts up all his naysayers.
  3. If we are still mathematically in it this weekend when we face Cincy, wouldn't be surprised if Cease starts on Saturday or Sunday, only in a must win game if still have a shot at the WC.
  4. Jays need to go 6-0 and either Chisox or Guardians need to go 2-4, that's the scenario for us to get in, pretty bleak.
  5. My guess is we need to go 7-2 over our last 3 series to get in. Cleveland is gonna win that division now, and unfortunately both Rangers and ChiSox have the tiebreaker on us, so we need to finish ahead of both of them. Take 2 of 3 from both Tex and Baltimore on the road will be a tall task and then sweep the Reds at home. It's gonna come down to the last series I think. We had to win 4 in a row at the end of last season to win the Division so it's doable but it won't be easy. Just hoping we still have a chance going into that final series back at home.
  6. Was just looking at run differentials, The Tigers have a better run differential then the Rays, yet the Rays have the best record in the MLB and the Tigers are 9 games below .500. Are the Rays just incredibly lucky or have the Tigers just been incredibly unlucky? Rays are 8 wins above expected while the Tigers are 12 wins below expected, that's insane!
  7. I think this year, the AL is really demonstrating why the playoff format needs to be changed. If the Jays somehow sneak in they will get to play Cleveland/Rangers/Astros/Whitesox in the first two rounds, while the Yanks will have to play the Red Sox and whoever wins that series has to play the Rays in the ALDS. While great for the Jays it makes zero sense. I don't understand why they don't at least reseed teams after the WC round.
  8. With so many teams fighting for basically 1 WC spot, I think it's highly unlikely that 83 wins is enough. You have to expect that one of Cleveland, Texas or Baltimore will finish strong. I think 84 wins is likely the bare minimum to get in maybe even 85. We definitely have a decent shot and the schedule is in our favour but we literally can't take a single series off the rest of the way. The next 2 series against the Royals and As we need to win 4 of 6, preferably 5. Both those teams are basically out of it so they will be playing loose with no pressure on them. Baltimore we need to at least split those 6 games so we hold on to the tiebreaker, and then take 2 of 3 from Texas, Detroit and Cincy. That gets us to 84 wins and I think would be enough especially since we would hold the tiebreaker against both Cleveland and Baltimore in this scenario. Texas is honestly the team that scared me the most. They have a fairly easy schedule and hold the tiebreaker against us no matter what we do in that last series against them since they swept us 4-0 in June. I see that series as an absolute must win vs them. We aren't in the worst position but let's not kid ourselves, getting that last WC spot is still gonna be extremely tough. We basically have little to no margin for error and are gonna need one of the best September's in franchise history.
  9. Caballero is such a s*** stain, hate is BS tactics. Reminds me of Odor.
  10. There was not only the sexual assault incidents but let's also not forget the spitting incident in 1996 when he spit in the face of umpire John Herschbeck and also making light of the death of his son. Alomar is piece of trash human being and shouldn't be celebrated in any way.
  11. Everyone thought that Beiber was doing us a favour when he picked up his player option last year, but I think he knew he was damaged goods and that it would be revealed by other teams if he went after a long term deal. Beiber is washed I think unfortunately. Some guys are just never the same after TMJ.
  12. This 9 game road trip before the allstar break is huge. We need to go on a run here to hopefully get close to .500 by the break. If not, we have to seriously consider trading all of our guys on expiring contracts and retool like we did at the 2024 deadline. Guys like Varsho, Beiber, Springer and Gausman should all be on the trade block. At this point the AL East title is basically a pipe dream and even a WC is getting further and further out of reach. Even if we somehow squeak into a WC spot it will be on the road and were likely 2 and done. Last year we got extremely lucky with very few injuries and things seemed to fall our way. Yes we've had alot of injuries this year but it's not even like we've been getting unlucky. Our expected W-L record is actually worse then our actual record. At this point being 5 games under past the halfway mark seems like a daunting task to even secure a WC spot. We have less then a 30% chance now to even make it. Honestly if we don't win all 3 road series before the break, it's time to go into hard sell mode and let the rookies see what they have.
