One thing I will say is that the MLB media shows a ton of respect for this team from USA. Very different than the NBA American media xenophobia that exists. It’s a breath of fresh air.


It will be an uphill battle but this team does better as underdogs.

No one picked us to win against the Yankees and most people picked the Mariners to win.

Absolutely no one is picking us in the World Series.


Jays were larger favourites in the ALCS vs the Mariners than they were underdogs in the divisional vs the Yanks.

MJ = Vladdy :D


MJ would still be Ohtani there has never been a baseball player like him. Not saying he's the goat cause of counting stats, but his ability to be an Ace pitcher and amazing at bat at the same time is truly mythical.

I believe the Mariners were overall favourites to win the ALCS and definitely no one gave us a chance after going down 2-0.

Hey guys. We all say **** and are wrong all the time since sports is random and this is all about entertainment and guessing outcomes.

So if you were adamant that this team would lose after going down 0-2, it’s okay - You’re also allowed to celebrate this!

Wish I had posted it but I was telling everybody I knew that I felt good about our chances after going down 0-2. I knew we could beat the Mariners.

The Dodgers however? I’m not sure we can do it. But I’m happy we get the chance to try.
not strong, only aggresive cuz the power ain't directed/ that's why, we are subjected to the will of the oppressive

Even in the losses it felt like we were the better team. The bats were too good to not take over eventually. The bullpen I definable doubts about but we have ways to patch it up with our starters going forward.

Bichette says he’s back too, so that will be huge going forward.

It's easy to see why the Dodgers are heavy favourites. But these Jays have a knack for hitting great pitching - the more velo the better from some odd reason. It will probably come own to whether Bo Bichette (2nd most hits in the majors this season despite not playing the last 20 games) can (a) be available and (b) play a position that doesn't hurt us defensively.

I'm fairly confident they can beat the Dodgers....there's a reason why Dodgers fans were cheering for Seattle to advance instead.

But they need Vladdy to continue playing like a supsertar, and if Bo returns he can't be rusty.

This is what I’m worried about too. They’ve been playing great defense and don’t want to mess with that. His bat is super valuable but not worth it if he’s not at his best defensively.

I had forgotten what it was like to be in that place when it's full and & filled with loud, energized fans. I haven't experienced it since the 90's.

People think Scotiabank/ ACC get's loud and crazy? Rogers/ Skydome is on another level. 60-70000 people all cheering/ chanting & going crazy. It's an incredible experience. Like nothing else in Canada.

It's truly like being at a Coliseum. Vladdy is our Maximus.

It's been really cool watching Vladdy interviews. What a treasure that guy is. Fantastic person, great leader. He truly appreciates it here.

I have been so used to American NBA players seemingly "trying to say the right things". Almost like its forced sometimes. We have had a few honest guys who loved it here....Derozan was one. Nobody of Vladdy's stardom though.

Vladdy is genuine. We are lucky to have him.

Wow Springer sends Seattle to shamblesland!

The bottom hitters felt like they did something every single time they came up.

Congrats to those Blue Jays forum who have been active this whole time, with some former Raptors forum regulars going pure Blue Jays forum for years.

On paper, which team is considered more dominant compared to ours? The 2025 Dodgers or the 2019 GSWs?
