Skubul pitching so he probably doesn’t get to the LCS until game 3.
And either team has to fly cross country.
This is so good. And draining as a fan, nevermind a player. As mentioned months ago the mood would be similar if they won the WC game and left them worn out for he ALDS.
And the badly managed game yesterday could’ve haunted them in a 3 game series.
But win the division, get a rest, get a team who had to play a series and use energy and pitching, get that 5 game series where one badly managed game doesn’t kill you, and here they are.

Again, going from May to this has been a fun ride.
It's a great feat getting to the championship series.
It's even sweeter when you can do it by beating the Yankees in their own yard.
The cherry on top was honestly how dominant the Jays were over the Yankees this series as whole. This would've been a comfortable sweep if it wasn't for the stumble in Game 3, where they were on track to accomplish it before mistakes turned the momentum.
Big sense of relief in not having to finish this off in Toronto. Get that first road playoff win in a decade out of the way, and get a nice little break as a reward before the next round.
Confidence should be very high in the clubhouse. They really could make it to the World Series.

Yup they led every game at least 5-1 in this series and if not for some defensive and pitching jitters in game 3 this was a sweep.
Homefield for at least the next series is big too.
After last nights meltdown in had some of the shades of some bad managing that ####ed up the playoffs the last two times. Barger, pull of Beiber, pitching to Judge.
Full credit to Schneider tonight for making the right decisions.
Bullpen, Lukes, Springer and Vladdy the key guys tonight.
Thanks to Chisholm too. Turning point with his bad error which allowed it to go from 2-1 to 4-1. Not sure the Yanks fans will enjoy his antics.
Yeah, Chisholm error was big. Hoffman giving up his usual run in the 9th would have been a lot more sphincter clenching without those 2 runs.
