ALDS Update: Blue Jays Beat Yankees In Game 4 And Advance To ALCS!

[Chris7711]

Even if Bo is not ready for game 1, a potential game 7 is still 11 or 12 days away.

If you expect him to be ready in less than 9 days you make a roster spot for him over IKF.

If Detroit wins, it won't go 7 games..skubal is pitching and won't be available first 2 games..if satander can hit at .250 clipwith power, would be huge. Also, need kirk to get hot again

[spykelee]

I definitely think Detroit is the better matchup for us...

But Seattle I think Is a better atmosphere. Even though both are border cities and will be full of Jays fans, it just feels different in Seattle. That's a much harder team to beat with better starting pitching though

Gotta be pulling for Detroit especially with Skubal going in game 5... Seattle will be harder but a fun series to watch.

When he's locked in, it's really something.

Stars somewhat aligning for the Jays. They need Detroit and looks like they'll avoid Skubal for the first 3 games. Seattle definitely presents a harder matchup with their starting pitching and bullpen.

Skubal would pitch on regular rest next Wednesday (game 3) and the following Monday (game 7) presumably.

I think we're still rooting for Detroit given Seattle's overall talent level (particularly on the pitching side) but I said the same about Boston and playing the clearly more talented Yankees worked out fine.

Yeah, looks like Wednesday would be the Skubal start if Detroit was to advance. I thought Red Sox would give Jays a harder time than the Yankees; matchup-wise, Yanks didn't match up well.

Seattle is a dangerous matchup for anyone. Good starting pitching, elite back end of the bullpen and just enough power/hitting to get by even though they're streaky on that front.

I'd like to congratulate John Schneider and his bench crew. Back in May, a lot of fans wanted him fired. He's grown a lot as a manager.

still think it's lots of smoke and mirrors. But at this point, nothing but the W matters.

I too would like to congratulate John Schneider. He was exceptional last night.

Things I never imagined ever saying for a 1000, Ken.

Can't both teams just restrict tickets to their respective states like the Yankees did?

The new hitting coaches made a huge difference. HUGE! Not smoke and mirrors.

It's why some of us were calling for Martinez to be fired years ago, while others argued that baseball hitting coaches don't have any impact on outcomes.

If you expect him to be ready in less than 9 days you make a roster spot for him over IKF.

Why not just leave him out and then have IKF get a mysterious injury, so we have the roster spot in case Bo isn't back? If Bo is ready mid-series, I'm okay not having IKF available for the WS.

My bet is that if Bo is on the roster, it's gonna be as a DH alone. He hasn't started running the bases yet, let alone fielding.

Pretty good chance IKF is on the roster regardless of what the Bo decision is, I think.

Vlad being more vocal,and cheerleading/leading helps him perform,and he wasn,t doing that in his pre post season tired slump,but he will be doing it as much as possible now
