FYI for those who might be interested, know its the same time as the Jays vs. Tigers in the second home game of the season but could be fun, Gibby is never short on the stories.

The next two games are the perfect example of why I miss not having the entire man roster available in September/Oct. It means that some of the regulars will have to take the field at some point. Remember back in 2015 at Baltimore when the Jays clinched the AL East in the first game of the double, the bench was emptied for the night cap,

Home Field in the wild card round, yes !!

Thank you Tigers, keep it up !!!

Never knew that was a rule, makes sense, good to know.

A series with Ms will be given west coast consideration thus it will not be played too early. I could see 3 pm. With all the series in the eastern and central time zone and two involving west coast teams they will have to figure out how to space it all out.

My fear is a Ryan Howard situation where you give a guy a big time contract and everything goes to s*** moving forward and that was only a 5 year pre- arbitration deal.

I do wonder how much affect this down year will the Vladdy extension, are we thinking 10 years $300M, or will the Vladdy camp want more years on this mega deal to hedge against decline. Will the Jays really not entertain one until seeing how things go next year?

Got to love the Striip Sensation , his back account will only be looking up when he hits free agency.

In 2020 the four AL Wild Card game times were 2, 3, 5 and 7 pm eastern. The 3 pm game was at Oakland, so noon locally. If it goes along this line I would think it will be 3 pm for the Jays. Based on the current match ups as of today, I predict Ray at Indians 2 pm, Mariners at Blue Jays 3 pm, Phillies at Cardinals 5 pm and Padres at Mets 7 pm. Could see a few adjustments based on broadcast desires.

Really will depend on who they are playing, there is no way it would be the earliest game if it's against the Mariners, thus having in at 9:30/10 am on the west coast. As of right now all the wild card games will be east/central time with two west-coast in the mix, so it will be interesting.

Man what a night Kikuchi had , 3 innings of one hit ball with 5ks , great to see !!!

Congrats to Bo with his 48th hit this September , setting a new team record for most hits in month !!

This is the type of night the Jays exactly needed , get out early and keep piling them on, cheers to that !
