    Counting the tiebreakers, the Jays are 1 back of TEX, 2 back of CLE, and 3 back of CWS. Taking 2/3 in this series against TEX is pretty much a necessity to get a 1 game lead on them heading into the final week. Anything short of that and it's really done. Of course even that scenario won't guarantee gaining any ground on CLE/CWS as they have the A's and Tigers (can't believe the Jays went 2-4 against them this month). Jays going 7-2, Guardians going 5-4, and Rangers going no better than 6-3 is the Jays best chance. I could actually see the latter two things happening, but Jays going 7-2 is the part I'm having trouble with. Yesavage replacing one of Spaghetti/Lorenzen as a bulk guy will certainly help their chances.

    Damn, the White Sox have the Tigers, Royals, and Rockies to end the season. I didn't realize how easy their remaining schedule was. They are more likely to collapse than the Guardians are, but that schedule makes it very hard to see them falling off a cliff in the next 10. Even if the White Sox went 5-5 then the Jays would have to go 7-2 to overtake them, and I'd be shocked if the Jays did anything better than 6-3 down the stretch given their rotation issues. The Jays are 1-9 (!) against the White Sox and Rangers this season. Came back to bite them in the end.

    Honestly it will take someone collapsing for the Jays to even have a chance at this point and the White Sox are much more likely to do that down the stretch than the Guardians. Even without the tiebreaker the Jays are at a point where the White Sox losing might be their best shot. Obviously have to hope the Rangers don’t go on a run either. Seems like a long shot either way. Really needed Monday’s game.

    LOL at the same guy trusted to pitch the 8th inning of a 1 run game against the top of the opposing team's lineup 24 hours ago now in to mop up in an 8-1 deficit.
  5. glory
    Yeah this looks like the end. Not impossible to tie the Guardians with 10 games to go and 2 games back, but about to be lapped by the Rangers tonight (if that score holds up) and 2.5 games back of the White Sox who own the tiebreaker. Got Mad Max and a bullpen game up next. The fat lady probably started warming up as soon as Bieber went down, so the Jays did pretty well to at least make it interesting, but not looking good. Either way I agree with the above, this team was getting spanked in a WC round anyway, so probably not missing much. Was way more painful to miss the playoffs in 2021 when that team could have realistically won a title.

    The sad thing is they aren’t even expecting 5 innings out of him, he’s a bulk guy during bullpen games. So 2-3 innings. If Chad Dallas is healthy then there’s absolutely zero excuse not to go that route instead of using Lorenzen. I don’t get it.
  7. glory
    Not sure what the Jays expect when they bring in a guy so awful he was DFA by the Rockies. Chad Dallas, Tiedemann until his arm falls off, literally anyone on the 40 man can be a 2+ inning bulk SP better than this guy.
  8. glory
    Lorenzen coming in. Wonderful.
  9. glory
    Best hitter on the team this season and only power threat in the entire lineup batting 6th and getting his first AB with 0 on and 2 out in the 2nd inning. Probably not ideal.

    In one of the more shocking tweets you'll read today:

    Man, 14/500 for Vlad and (allegedly) 10/350 for Tucker would have been a nightmare. Thank goodness the Dodgers did what they did.
  12. glory
    Yeah, I'm not a JS cheerleader by any means, but every 5 days he has 2 starters, 2 bullpen games where the bulk has to come from Spaghetti/Lorenzen, and then whatever they get from Max. Not many managers are going to run a successful bullpen with that. He clearly planned to use Fisher tonight, which might explain why he went with Mantiply in the 8th instead. Having to manage this way is simply not sustainable, so there's not much he can do some times except hope some of the scrubs he puts in out of necessity work out. Unfortunately it didn't last night. Last night's loss was brutal, but the WC3 field still stinks, so there's still a glimmer of hope. Just have to win the next 2 and keep winning every series.

    I didn’t think the Jays could hurt me anymore after how 2025 ended but they found a way tonight. That Okamoto blast will be forgotten now instead of being a pivotal moment in their playoff push. I guess win the next two and hope the Guardians split (or get swept, ideally).
  14. glory
    Could have been leading the WC but instead still 1 game back and now only 0.5 game up on a team that owns the tiebreaker. This loss was a backbreaker.
  15. glory
    If the Jays had prime Rickey Henderson he'd have like 30 steals right now. I don't know why a team that can't hit isn't trying to steal more when they have speed on the bases and a slow-as-molasses pitcher on the mound, but JS is only in love with the bunt. He gets to pick and choose his small ball fetishes.
  16. glory
    LOL at Vlad.
  17. glory
    I'm begging you Vlad, anything but a GIDP.
  18. glory
    Fisher warming up which means he was available to pitch the 8th. I know he's not having the best season either but I would have trusted him over Mantiply in a heartbeat.
  19. glory
    I want to know who else was available when JS went to Mantiply. Clearly Rogers and Flu weren't. Miles is a multi inning opener now. If Fisher was available then I think he would have been the best one by default.
  20. glory
    Probably need a 2 inning save from Varland here, unless Mantiply gives up the lead beforehand.
  21. glory
    OKA F'N MOTO

    Isn’t tomorrow a bullpen game? JS probably trying to squeeze some more outs out of Soriano for that reason and it cost him.
  23. glory
    Soriano looked like Halladay through six and then fell apart but this one’s on the offense (as usual in 2026).
  24. glory
    Getting Melton out of the game early and then not taking advantage really stinks. Now Soriano in trouble with no margin for error.
  25. glory
    Time to score some runs. Soriano has been incredible but game is way too close.
