Shaping up to be good couple of final series for the Bluejays, take care of business and the standings should take care of it self.
What are the cross your Tee's and dot your i's?
Should Schneider be in batting order or off the bench?
Should Ty france be pinch hitting for Lukes if it means taking Lukes out defensively?
Should Little be pitching out of pen ahead of Lauer/Nance? Seems like Little struggles to throw strikes even when Lefty matchup is favorable.
Where will Santander fit in?
Thanks, feels as though all books should be on the same page, no more not knowing if were playing a clinching game tommorow
Oh and that was a Varsho catch :thumbsup:

Idk but the clinching game didn’t mean that much to me, I’m still waiting for the division clincher. Wild card series have not been kind to us the past few years. If the Yankees lose 1 game all we have to do is go 3/3 the next stretch.

I'm not holding my breath that yankees won't sweep the Sox but the O's should give them a run with Sugano/Rogers pitching in that series. Jays were 2.0 games ahead at the all star break and are 2.0 ahead now, they just need to keep pace and their foot on the pedal.

We need 2/3 here. I'm honestly way less afraid of Boston than Baltimore or TB.

Would have preferred us not *****in around in KC lmao but we control our own destiny here and this team has shown plenty of moxie and fight, i think we got this 4-2 to end the season and get ready for the ALDS.

This team showed plenty of moxie and fight when the stakes were low. I'm afraid that they'll revert to their usual choking ways now that there is actual pressure.

I hope I'm wrong.

Look if Santander says hes ready then I think you play him. I just dont see the logic of punting this decision when we have 6 games left.

I would fire the clown brigade tonight and get someone in there willing to actually play Santander

IKF, Loperfido and France need roster spots over him apparently lmao like what are we doing here? France is useless rn one of the few guys that can hit lefties for power as well.

He hit HRs over 100 mph from both sides of the plate and had a .811 OPS in buffalo lol

I believe this has implications on the cheerleading squad on the bench. Ty France gets to stay with a phantom injury and Manoah gets kicked out because he’s contributed nothing to 2025 season .

What does the mean for Manoah? Does he need to clear waivers? If he a free agent? Or he’s still in the Jays system just not on roster?

It means he’s gone and the Jays had no interest in him being in the organization any longer

We seem to have just stopped trying to wear down pitchers...swinging really early

Return to Toronto Blue Jays
