Yeah a lot of time to figure out the future and rekindle this past season after this weekend.

TLDR though IMO if the Jays lose just one regular season game they don’t get this far. It means they had to play the WC vs Boston. Even if they get through that and have a champagne party, they’ve not had physical or mental rest and the rotation is all messed up vs the Yanks and that series could go different. And or Springer gets hurt earlier etc etc. But the 1st round bye and rest was critical for this team.

Going back further, this team started the focus on small ball when Santander got hurt. That’s not his game and he’s hopefully not hurt next year. And then Bo. There’s a much different vibe around him then Vlad. Atkins and Shapiro strung out the Vlad signing into the season.

But that’s for another day. It’s all in front of the Jays this weekend to make Canadian sports immortality.
