So the Blue Jays are more likely to part ways with both Bautista and Encarnacion.. I'm wondering what Mark Shapiro and Ross Atkins is trying to do.. If he is trying to rebuild this team, I think he is on a wrong track. We made it to the postseason for two straight seasons.. That means we should continue to be a contender until we are able to do. I think the management's decision for not signing David Price was a good decision.. Although he contributed a lot to the Blue Jays to make a playoff run in 2015, we all knew he will sign with big clubs (Yanks, BoSox, etc) However, Bautista and Encarnacion has been our core player for years.. and we would not had won the Wild Card game without those two.. I can't imagine what will happen to this team without those two core players. Do you think the management is going on a path to rebuild this team from 2017 season?

Another poor hitting costed us a game. I know Osuna shouldnt have blown this game... but this would not happen if our offense was better..

Im pretty sure we will not host a wild card game... I don't know if we are gonna win a single game in our last 4 games of the season..

Gibby should have left Cecil for 8th inning.....

So with today's victory, the Blue Jays are 10-7 against the Orioles. That means we already won the season series against the Orioles. If the Jays are tied with the Orioles for the first wildcard spot to end the season, the game will happen at our home. I'm really worried about the Tigers because they got the Braves for their last 3 games.. We need to get through the BoSox at Fenway.. So I want the Jays to sweep the Orioles to clinch the first spot ASAP.

1 gone

Hopefully they wont blow this game

Yup... Never trust any relief pitchers over 35 year old.. They become bust after that age.. I remember we got Francisco Cordero before 2012 season (he was 36, 37 year old) and he was horrible for us.. Papelbon became just a normal relief pitcher as soon as he turned 35... Santiago Casilla (Giants pitcher) is 36 and he costed so many games for the Giants.. Grilli should be lucky that he is not bad until now.

By the way, do you know what happens if the Jays and O's are tied for the first wildcard spot? Right now, Jays won 9 of 16 games against the Orioles. So we will win the season series if we win at least a game, right? In that case, does it mean the Jays will be a home team for the series?

#BlueJays reliever Joaquin Benoit appears to have suffered a significant injury to his left leg, was seen leaving on crutches. (Shi Davidi) Uh oh......................................................................................................................................................................................................

I remember Benoit allowed game tying grand slam to David (Druggie) Ortiz back in 2013... At least Benoit is more reliable than Grilli.. (and now Benoit is injured.. sigh)

He is also a manager who doesn't have clear strategy to the game.. He is just acting like a spectator. He need to utilize more SAC BUNT when we need to score

Grilli should have been lifted after he allowed a home run to Teixeira.

Im just waiting to get my playoff ticket refunded.. since they may not get the first wildcard spot. I feel confident that they will make it to a wildcard game, but don't know about first or second I think they will be lucky enough to win one each against the Orioles and the BoSox.

It could have been better to let Osuna pitch three days in a row.. Betances came into today's game after throwing 40 pitches yesterday

Today is the day which showed that John Gibbons is the worst manager in the league.. Grilli has been grilled for several games..

I heard this news when I woke up yesterday morning.. I was so shocked and almost dropped my phone. When I went to Wrigley Field (home of the Chicago Cups) in August, he was starting for the Marlins and he looked brilliant. (Although the Cubs won) My friend said that I was lucky to see him pitch before his sudden passing.. RIP Jose Fernandez.

Do you think the Jays can make it to the first wildcard? Im pretty sure they will make it to the wildcard, but Im not sure if we are gonna clinch first or second wildcard

Now I can officially declare that the Yankees are done

I think if the Blue Jays are at least 4-3 during the home stand, they will make it.. If they do even better, they will clinch the first place on the wildcard, which guarantees home game for potential one game playoff. Plus, I think the Red Sox will clinch the division before the last series.

Bracket means this year's record against that team Toronto (Home 7, Road 3) 4 vs NYY (9-6) 3 vs BAL (9-7) 3 at BOS (8-8) If they go at least 4-3 or 5-2 in the 7 game home stand, they will secure the wild card spot. Detroit (Home 7, Road 3) 3 vs KC (6-10) 4 vs CLE (2-13????) 3 at ATL (NR) They also have 7 game homestand, but they are not good against the Royals and terrible against the Indians... They need to win at least 3 or 4.. and looks like they are gonna sweep their last three games against the Braves Baltimore (Home 3, Road 6) 3 vs ARI (NR) 3 at TOR (7-9) 3 at NYY (8-8) Easy three games series against the Dbacks, but they need to finish strong since their final 6 games are all on the road. Houston 4 vs LAA (11-1, not including today.. They lost though) 3 vs SEA (10-6) 3 at LAA (11-1) Looks like they got the easiest schedule... 7 games against the team they dominated this year.. However, they have a key series against the Mariners.. Seattle 3 at MIN (0-3) 3 at HOU (6-10) 4 vs OAK (10-5) They need to sweep the Twins before facing the Astros. New York Yankees 4 at TOR (6-9) 3 vs BOS (5-11) 3 vs BAL (8-8) If they lose series in Toronto, It is safe to say that they are out!!

Do you think the Jays have a chance to take the first wildcard spot? I know they are just 1 game ahead of the O's for the first spot.. but I want to see the wildcard game at the Rogers Centre. (I got a pair of ticket for that game because they are likely to be a wildcard team if they make it to the postseason)

Ticketmaster!!

I got two tix for the wildcard game.. Although I got one on the outfield (Section 243) Do you know if those seats in the outfield are in the good seat? I chose 500 level for two computers and anything for mobile. but two computers are giving me tix for a flight deck
