Does John Schneider pull Trey early, if he's in a similar situation as Gausman?

He should have been fired 4 years ago, when the Jays had the worst bullpen in all of MLB. I said it at that time, and even the past two years when the bullpen was garbage. Which other Pitching Coach in MLB is employed for 13 straight years, with the pitching being mediocre to bad for most of those years?

Series isn't over yet. Jays swept Mariners in Seattle this season after all.

Mariners have a very good team, which Ross Atkins and Shapiro could learn a thing or two about. The Mariners would never acquire an overrated SS like Gimenez, who has 4 seasons left of his ridiculous contract or an overrated big money player like Santander. They have drafted well, which this front office could learn a thing or two also. Mariners are also spending about 90 million less on payroll also compared to the Jays. Wish them well in the World Series.

Mariners lineup is deeper than NY.Lots of power.Needed to play Detroit in case Bo was out.We have to hit in Sea...Vladdy,you listening,bring back your toe tap that times your swings.

We also had a worst bullpen than the Rockies last year as well lol and apparently every pitcher we have has HR issuses including guys we just got lol like idk man Popkins was a good change I think we need a new voice not like weve ever had an elite pitching staff in his decade plus tenure

Scherzer starting game 4 confirmed

We are doomed to watch our season end with him on the mound

Jays need to approach hitting like Bo would.On 2 strikes widen your stance and see what happens.

I would've started Bassitt in game 4. Schneider overthinking every move.

Need to get at least two or even three new high leverage relievers in this bullpen for 2026 (along with a returning Garcia), that you do not have to worry about not throwing Strikes and who are wild as hell on the mound. I would say goodbye to guys like Little, Dominguez, Nance, Sandlin, Bruihl, and invest a lot more resources in the bullpen for 2026.

This bullpen is simply not championship material. Need at least two more Starters also, by letting Scherzer, Bassitt and Bieber walk. Ross Atkins and Shapiro could learn a thing or two on how to build a team like Seattle, spending about 90 million less than the Jays.

Blowouts like today are a lot easier to take than yesterday I find

These guys are just the better team, the numbers always suggested that

The rotation is also not championship material.

The lineup is also not championship material.

But the payroll is close to championship material
