  1. Props to this group. What a great season, especially considering the pre season expectations. Now get drunk and rest up for Saturday.
  2. Before the game I would have bet anything that Hoffman closes it out regardless of the score, but a 9 run lead after Hoff has thrown twice in the last 3 days? Who knows though.
  3. If this score holds up (it better) then I wonder who JS brings in to pitch the 9th.
  4. Springer with a 5 WAR season. Man what a season for him.
  5. Vlad would have tapped his helmet after that pitch down the middle if the ABS system was in place.
  6. Honestly can't believe Gausman is still in. JS can't wait to pull starters who are dominating, and Gausman is clearly not.
  7. No IKF against a lefty. LFG. We got this.
  8. Just win tomorrow. Don't count on the Orioles doing you any favors. Win and take the bye. Damn, I see that the Rays have a LHP starting tomorrow. That probably means Straw and IKF starting.
  9. Tough break on that Gimenez error, made Yesavage throw nearly 20 more pitches. Cant see him going 5 at this point, but everyone except Hoffman and Little should be available.
  10. Since May 1, Hoffman has a -1.1 WAR with 27 saves (7 BS), and a 6-7 record. There's a monster sample size to suggest that he's been hurting the team for 5 months, and they haven't changed anything. They won't use him today since they have avoided using him 3 days in a row all season, but no chance he's being taken out of the closer role now, IMO. I hope I'm wrong on that and Schneider uses matchups in the 9th inning more often, but I don't think he's that type of manager.
  11. Gausman scenarios based on today's outcomes: 1. Jays win, Yankees win: Gausman starts Sunday. 2. Jays lose, Yankees lose: Gausman starts Sunday. 3. Jays lose, Yankees win: Gausman does not pitch Sunday, is saved for Tuesday. 4. Jays win, Yankees lose: Gausman pitches at least a little bit (since his next start would be next Saturday) I'd be shocked if the Yankees lose today, so looking at either options 1 or 3.
  12. Judge hit his 53rd HR this season. Vlad has 53 HR combined in 2024 and 2025. I don't know if that says more about how incredible Judge is, or how underwhelming Vlad has been as a power hitter given his tools/expectations. Maybe both.
  13. I get the feeling that the Yankees are going to win out. The Jays can’t depend on anyone, just have to find a way to win these next 2 games. Sugano at Yankee Stadium isn’t something I’m going to be relying on.
  14. This might have made up for the Springer foul ball game. A competent ump behind the plate and Hoffman probably walks 4 batters that inning at a minimum, and there's no chance Schneider would have pulled him until the Rays took the lead. Whoever that HP ump was, thank you my friend.
  15. Umpire is trying to help Hoffman and Hoff is still screwing this up.
  16. Stanton is clutch in the biggest moments. Judge hasn't been, at least in October, but he might as well be Mr. October compared to Vlad.
  17. Rogers wanted to simulcast the game in case the Jays clinched a playoff spot and got to bathe each other in alcohol afterwards. Maybe they made a deal with Apple where if the Jays clinched, then Apple would keep rolling and air the celebration as well. They probably made that trade days earlier and there was no take backsies after realizing the game meant nothing. Really was a bad deal. The fact that they made that trade and then the Jays proceeded to collapse like they have which made tonight's game 100 times more important than last week's might be the Baseball Gods coming into play. Rogers got too cocky and the Gods had to intervene.
  18. Apple deserves some credit for "trading" (while still showing) last week's game that was over by the 1st inning and a boring matchup/atmosphere in general for this game which will have a packed stadium and division title significance on the line. As far as the game itself, I thought we were done with Houser, but I guess not. Confident in the starters the Jays have going, but not confident at all with the bats. Hopefully last night was the wake up call they needed.
  19. Bad luck there with Santander, but you can see how much of a difference he can make to the lineup. One dimensional but the Jays need that more than anything else.
  20. That's the best I've seen Varland as a Jay. Much needed. Need the bats to do something.
  21. Vlad has a career playoff wRC+ of 8. He's starting early this time.
  22. My guess is they'll try for 2 each from Varland and Lauer, and then go 1 inning/3 batters/mix and match with everyone else. These are the types of games John Schneider lives for. Getting to use the entire pen intentionally.
  23. It is suspicious timing right before a bullpen game putting a pitcher they won't use again on the IL for a fresh arm, but if it's a legit elbow injury, then might actually be a good thing as weird as that is to say. As mentioned above, Berrios' velo and stuff has declined badly this season, and there's no chance in hell that he's opting out of 2/48 after next season, so if an injury is causing the red flags in his profile then at least there's hope for some kind of turnaround. If he was healthy and the same guy with just diminished stuff and velocity, then it would be 3 more years of Tanner Roark on a big money contract.
  24. I'm just not sure why they didn't use Berrios for 4 innings last night after Scherzer. If you knew the next day was going to be a bullpen game where you needed everyone, then I don't get why you'd use Little down 4-0 and then Nance in the 9th. Oh well.
