He doesn’t have a hope and prayer of getting a hit off a lefty unless he bunts.
His OPS completely plummets against them. I believe it’s something silly like under.500 right now.
Only 13 teams are at or over .500 all time. Pirates are also at exactly .500 despite being around since 1882 and have like more than triple the amount of games played as the Jays.
Would have been fun if the Yankees blew that game. But still keeping them 5 games at bay is massive. Thought this was the game they would lose in this series because of the pitching matchup. Gotta be feeling really good about Gausman right now.
I guess were not going to get a proper explanation until after the game. The other interesting thing is John Schneider came out to argue. Isn't that suppose to be automatic ejection normally? When you argue the results from New York and not the umpire crew. Interesting to see he wasn't or was he and I missed it responding on here?
So they determined in New York that Lukes couldn't catch that ball if nobody was sitting there reaching over. But they announced it as fan interference so clearly he was obstructed, How do you announce it otherwise.
They could have placed O-Mart on the 60-day DL and paid him a pro rated salary for the last 2 weeks of the Season. Instead they just chose to flat out release him because he was that bad this year. It's just quite the plug pull on a guy who was your top prospect 2 years ago.
5 game lead is so huge. Jays basically need to play .500 the rest of the way and it's over. But hopefully and obviously lets hope they can do better than that.
