Title: Blue Jays
Post by: theaardvark on October 17, 2025, 10:24:33 PM
Bandwagon must be getting full, although a bunch probably jumped off after the first two games of this series. 

Now its a best of 3, with the Jays getting 2 at home...

Will be interesting to see if they can do it again tonite.

This place was amazing tonight. The Blue Jays D even without Bo is pretty special. On to game 7.

Yes, he was in trouble a few times, and our D came up big. That place was very loud last night. Needed some ear plugs.

TREMENDOUS 🥳🥳🥳🥳
Such an exhilarating moment when Spring jacks it out

Dodgers will be tough but Go Jays Go

Yes, the fans went crazy when Springer hit that home run. You couldn't hear the person next to you. Toronto is a very crazy place to be tonight. But, I agree the Dodgers will be very tough.

Springer's now cemented himself as a Blue Jays legend.

What a great game 7.

One thing I like about baseball is you can see the emotions of the player better I think then in a lot of professional sports.

Great game, and lets see what they can do come Friday. they are in tough, but you never know.

GO JAYS

My brother has tickets for the games in Toronto. Can't make games 1 and 2. But, if this series goes to games 6 and 7, we will be there. Once in a live time event.

Love the opening strikeout. Let's start our rookie pitcher that makes 57k an year and set the tone for the game with a strikeout on the best player in the game, who makes 47 million a year.
Love it.
Go jays

Back to earth tonight. Good battle up until Gaus gave up those 2 HRs in the 7th. Yamamoto is pretty special.
Title: Re: Blue Jays
Post by: blue_gold_84 on October 27, 2025, 12:10:46 PM
Yamomoto was unreal the other night. A phenomenal performance on the mound - and he even helped clean up the Dodgers dugout (https://bleacherreport.com/articles/25265667-yoshinobu-yamamoto-reportedly-cleaned-trash-dodgers-dugout-after-win-vs-jays) after the game.

Game 3 tonight should be a gooder!

Watched the marathon that apparently lasted 6 hrs and 39 minutes

Loss of Springer hurt cuz the Jays really didn't do much as batters for the last 7 innings
Now game 4 sure seems pivotal, so Bieber needs to be great
Title: Re: Blue Jays
Post by: Pigskin on October 28, 2025, 01:55:16 PM
Yes, this game was crazy long. Umpire very inconsistent. The Bo mistake and a few bad base running mistakes real hurt this team. I also don't like the Jays taking Barger out of games. The kid is the total package. Straw might be a little better D wise, but we need ABs bat.

Springer injury will hurt us, and Bo isn't 100%.

The BB base running gaff cost us a run and the game. In a game of this magnitude, you have to be certain what the heck you're doing and not fall asleep. Yes, the batter mislead him tossing his bat and looking like he was taking his base, but you think the base coaches would have been all over that and yelled at him. A couple of people sleeping and boom, cost you a run and a game.

What a great bounce back win for the Blue Jays. Pitching was outstanding tonight. There will be a game 6 which means I will be there.

Holy crap, watching pregame, say to the wife gonna take the dog for a quick walk, may miss the first and a bit of the second. Get a text while on the walk, you need to come home, we are up by two....what the hell. Go Jays. They are getting something from everyone.

Wow, 2nd. and 3rd,, with no one out. You have to be able to score at least 2 runs and tie that game. On to game 7.

Sad, sad and very sad.
Underperformers normally, the Jays had a truly great year in which they kept putting their best effort out there and got magnificent results many games
Alas, it just didn't happen when the results were needed

Well said Jock. Very entertaining year. From last, last season to the World Series. This team has a number of young very good players.

Good news. The key for me is Bo. I can see him taking 10 years at $30-$35M.

Jays extended the optional $$ to Bo, low $22M., and agree it should finally arrive in and around the $30M stratosphere

Vlad at $37.5M for 14 years.

Bo says no. Do they need to be more around the $35M mark to get close to matching Vlad.
