Two wins down. 21-8. Three wins down. 20-8. Four wins down. 19-8.

No pitcher in the AL has been nearly as valuable as Ray has been so far this season. His RA9-WAR is 1.2 higher than Cole's, who's been the next best guy. Ray for Cy Young. Bonus stat: Berrios and Ryu are both in the MLB Top 30 for RA9-WAR as well.

Two wins down. 21-8. Three wins down. 20-8.

Semien must hate this turf, lol.

lol

I'm not one to defend Montoyo (ever) but if you're ever gonna reward a guy with playing time, it's the day after he got on base to lead off both your miracle innings in your wild comeback the night before.

Here's an absolutely insane little treat for you guys: September 04, 2021: The Oakland Athletics were up 8-2 in the 8th inning at the Rogers Center. The Blue Jays proceeded to score 6 runs, including a game-tying first-pitch home run by Lourdes Gurriel Jr., who was previously hitless in the game. Toronto went on to win with a walk-off home run against Sergio Romo. Boxscore | September 20, 2018: The Tampa Bay Rays were up 8-2 in the 9th inning at the Rogers Center. The Blue Jays proceeded to score 6 runs, including a game-tying first-pitch home run by Lourdes Gurriel Jr., who was previously hitless in the game.

What the absolute f*** hahahahaha

He looked to be in pain in his earlier at-bat too. I noticed him wincing on every swing that torqued his knee and then he almost looked like he was limping back to the dugout when he struck out.

The following path gets the Blue Jays to 90 wins. Not a guaranteed wild card but close: - 8 games vs the Baltimore Orioles: 6-2 - 7 games vs the Minnesota Twins: 5-2 - 7 games vs the New York Yankees: 4-3 - 6 games vs the Tampa Bay Rays: 4-2 - 3 games vs the Oakland Athletics: 2-1 If none of the teams above the Jays catch fire and something like 88 wins happens to be the # for the second wild card, you can afford an extra two losses above. It's definitely still possible if they can handle the Orioles and Twins.

It is September 1st and we are down to five teams in the Wild Card picture. I have listed these five teams below, alongside the records they need the rest of the way to make it to 92 wins by the end of the season. Record needed to get to 92 wins: - Yankees: 16-14 - Red Sox: 17-11 - Athletics: 19-11 - Mariners: 21-8 - Blue Jays: 23-8 Notes: - The list above is ordered in difficulty to get to 92 wins. - The Yankees are looking very safe for the playoffs. They'd have to play below .500 ball the rest of the way to miss out and that looks unlikely based on how easy their remaining schedule is. - Every other team has a fairly tough road to the playoffs. The easiest path after the Yankees is the Red Sox, and they still need play 17-11, which is .607 baseball. - Barring a collapse across the board, the Blue Jays essentially need to play over .700 baseball in September to make the playoffs. Chances are, they can only afford 8-10 more losses maximum. Remaining Blue Jays Schedule: The Blue Jays have 31 games remaining this season. This is how those games shake out: - 8 games vs the Baltimore Orioles - 7 games vs the Minnesota Twins - 7 games vs the New York Yankees - 6 games vs the Tampa Bay Rays - 3 games vs the Oakland Athletics
