I had really hoped this version of the jays would help change baseball back to a more dynamic, small ball game. But the loss last night shows why the game will always hunt power. In the jays case they need 3-4 things to go right to score a single run their way. It worked so much this season, but against super ace pitching it’s a tough ask.
As for the dodgers, with all the power they have it was just one swing and boom a run.
I feel like once the pressure was fully on the jays, they just couldn’t execute. What a heartbreaker to watch, I turned it off the second the throw was made to first and I just can’t watch a single replay or interview right now.
