Blue Jays confirm signing of Korean teen Seojun Moon

That Rojas HR was so improbable like this guy has 57 HRs in 4800 PAs in his career lmao like Hoffman threw a cookie but youd hardly expect him to clip you with a fastball down the middle.

It was a hanging slider which is one of the worst things he could have done there after previous pitch. Should have went fastball.

At the end of the day this team provided a whole of great memories and earned alot of respect. The season cant be described as a failure when you get this close no natter what anybody says. If anything i cant wait to watch them next spring already! Just gotta bring back most of the troops and a few more additions. Bring on any squad in the MLB!

You definitely can't call this season a failure. They exceeded all expectations. It just sucks the way it ended and how close it was. And because of how baseball is, there's no guarantee they make the postseason next season (or the next 10 years), let alone the World series.

You have to pitch each of their batters carefully,and not hang stuff like its batting practice just because you dont wanna walk him in front of Ohtani.
Thats why Yamamoto is so good.He can consistently locate his pitches,and practices it non stop.
Biebers Hoffmans pitches were over the middle of the plate.Just a matter of dropping the barrel there.Shatkins should get serious about pitchers not allowing so many hrs during the season as well.Its like You knew they were hrs as soon as you saw where the pitches were going,and weren,t that surprised.Hanging fruit.

He had thrown a couple fastballs and had missed, but I guess he was still using those fastballs to set up the slider. He probably also thought that Rojas would look for a 3-2 fastball with Ohtani coming up next, and wanted to double cross Rojas.

Wasn't a bad plan. Just can't be hanging the slider. Sucks that Trey and Bieber and Hoffman all paid with homeruns for their hanging sliders.

This league is littered with Japanese players who couldn't make it here. The compete level of MLB and Japan league are entirely different. There's very few can't miss talents and those seem to be going entirely to certain teams.

There’s a reason nobody here or within the FO wanted to trust the guy in a 1 run lead two weeks ago.

He was hanging bad breaking balls all season long in some of the biggest moments. I feel like everyone who was complaining about Little’s usage in the ALCS game 5 may have forgotten that (or maybe even more likely, weren’t following this team earlier than September).

We almost managed to win a WS with a bullpen put together by duct tape and a closer who was one of the most hittable relievers in baseball. More evidence of what a miraculous run it was.

30 isn't washed. And I thought he had a terrible start and turned it around didn't he? He's still years away though, but Parker was decent at least.

Never said they were contenders but they will be in the mix. Acting as if everything WILL fall apart on Nov 2nd is the stupid part. Just a miserable way to approach sports and fandom.

30 isn't washed, but he's not a .500 hitter. Vladdy isn't going to hit 1.200 to keep this team in the games. You can't say if they will or will not be competitive cause there's a whole offseason to go. But there are major improvements needed. The 'core' isn't good enough because some are FAs and a lot of them are aging. It's asking a lot. I don't have faith in Springer being anything close to what he was. Bo is consistently their second best hitter, so if he's not there, what do the Jays do? Bassit/Scherzer are FAs. Will Berrios bounce back? Can Gausman be effective next year a year older? Just a lot of question marks.

People act like all of our players will suddenly fall apart. Spring training is like 5months away, some older players might need to take a backseat next year but most of them all have another run or two in them albeit in a diminished role. Time for rogers to shell out more money this offseason and add go the group not subtract.

One thing we learned for sure is Vladdy is our core leader and hes built for the playoffs. Keeping Bichette beside him and the emergence of Barger, Yesavage and super utility guy Clement is key. This teams run of dominance is just starting, some minor tweaks and were winning 90+ again next yeaf without a doubt

Yep. Those 92/93 team didn't just win out of nowhere either. They were good for years till they broke through and some guys were on those teams like Gruber/Stottlemyre/Borders/Fernandez/etc were constants, but they built up to it and a lot of the roster changed over too. This Dodgers team themselves also lost in the WS and playoffs a bunch of times in recent years before breaking through too.

All we can do is hope that this is hopefully the start of a competitive run built around the talents of Vladdy and maybe Bo in their primes for the next five years or so. Maybe you only break through to the WS again once in that time, but all you need is that one time to try to win it.

Can they make it through the grind of a regular season to give themselves a chance? I don't see why not considering the resources at Rogers and how cheap a lot of other MLB owners are. They've had a taste of success and had a lot of eyeballs that showcased the city, the fanbase, the stadium and players pay attention to that. They will have more pull with FAs than they did before this year.

It's truly kind of poetic, in the 11th, the best post season hitter of 2025 (Vlad) beat the best post season pitcher (Yamamoto), but the best post season pitcher beat the best post season hitting team.

Vlad himself represented the tying run, got to 3rd with 1 out and the Jays couldn't capitalize on yet another opportunity. Truly maddening.

This loss would be easier to take if we didnt have so many chances to win,and didnt make so many mistakes,as players,and management wise.So many guys underused,and using the wrong ones over,and over.Maddening,and frustrating.Jesus,you would thing they would be smarter.

I thought it was stupid for Giménez to stick his hand out to get it hit. That's as bad as the Seattle player jumping up to get hit by the baseball

I don't recall him sticking his hand out. The guy threw it at him.

[dh_45]

It always comes down to who has better pitching. Yamamoto almost single handedly won them this series

The pitch before he hit him Giménez stuck out his hand to try and get hit

That same pitch is what hitters look for off of Hoffman almost all his home runs this year were off that pitch. He was sitting waiting for it and boom there she goes

[dh_45]

Hoffman gave up 15 home runs more than any reliever all off his terrible low 80s slider. Jays deserve to lose putting him in there to get four outs and preserve a 1 run lead.

[dh_45]

Vladdy going on tv saying daaaaa Yankees lose. Just don't do that show some class. humble in victory, gracious in defeat

I think that was the start of our demise. Clearing the benches gave enough fuel for the Dodgers players to get it going. I knew we were ****ed as soon as they showed Hoffman coming back to the bullpen’s pen.
