GT: Rays @ Blue Jays - Sept 29 - October 1

[Raider917]

wouldnt the jays have to play the orioles if theyre the 6th seed and beat the twins?

[Fairview4Life]

Parsons doing exactly what we expected of him. I applaud the front office for calling him up. We needed to lose this game at all costs, and avoid Tampa and then Baltimore in the ALDS.

Yeah...thats exactly what the Leafs fans wanted last year. Remember "we want Flordia!"?

Karma is very real. You never try to tank your way to specific opponents. Let the chips fall where they may.

Hell, just check the posts here from last year--many people here wanted to play the Mariners.

And that was going great, right up until John Schneider Schneidered us.

Doesn't guarantee anything but why wouldn't you take the weaker opponent?

Are they weaker though? Tampa is pretty banged up all over. Minnesota has one of the best pitching staffs in the league. At least we know what to expect from Tampa having played them 6 times in two weeks. Minnesota is going to be a huge unknown for our hitters. Foresee us barely able to score 2 runs a game against them with our feeble offense.

I was more so talking about your general stance on not facing a weaker opponent if you can control it.

But also, yea there's nothing about our history with the Rays that would inspire me to face them.

If the Astros and Rangers end up tied, will our game result determine who win the AL West.

That would be a pretty weird tiebreaker.

We must accept there is simply no good matchup with this manager of ours.

For sure. “Better” doesn’t really mean “good”.

I don't believe in Karma. No reason to try hard to win this regardless of tampa or minny lol what happens if you try and win and someone gets hurt? Rather just not and have a healthy as possible roster.

[SharoneWright]

A rested Gausman against the Twinkies. I’m good with it.

Looks to me like we're playing the Twins.

exactly, i dont think the jays care who they play....they just dont want any important players to get any injuries

[Jago88]

I don't want to see Richards in a playoff game

[s e n s i]

the post-game footage of wes parsons crushing brewskis with ski goggles on will be hilarious

[Harry Palmer]

Twins took us out when we were the better team before. Only polite to return the favour.

[SharoneWright]

Biggio staying sharp for the playoffs!

[Brinbe]

never seen a team more happy to lose

gonna make for an awkward celebration afterwards

[SharoneWright]

We got trouble. In capital city.

[Randle McMurphy]

Rays trying to out tank us, knew they’d make a go at it.

[Raider917]

Schneider is on the playoff roster right?
