2025 Toronto Blue Jays Season Thread

I can't believe CroCop isn't here to celebrate the Jays winning the American League title.

I'm sure he'll be front and center if they lose in the playoffs though lol

And some people try and call out those whiners and think they're holier than though.

Every fan is different and process the ups and downs in their own way. Trying to make people feel bad or perceive them in a negative light is silly. We're all fans. Posting on a message board with what's supposed to be other fellow fans. So there's no point trying to put people down for being emotional. We're all just trying to process things our own way.

Wow, I was so concentrated on how bad the white Sox were, but after looking at the standings for the first time, the Rockies lost 119 games?!

Santander's eye isn't there but he's swings look magnificent. If he does figure it out this year he's worthwhile keeping in the lineup for the playoffs as they need that bomb element. I don't trust him in the field though, so him as a DH works.


No to Max being on the roster, though I hope he can be along for the trips. I'd much prefer taking a chance on Berrios or a bullpen day. After today's outing, I'd also give Gausman game 2, and Bieber game 1. Yesavage game 3.

Most fans cheer the highs and lament the lows. That's normal.

It's the whiny complainers that only show up to bitch that I find irritating.

Jays home record was something else.

Thank goodness they clinched the 1st seed and have home advantage for the DS. Also the CS if they make it.

Players not on the roster are allowed in dugout ("within reason") so Max could go along even if not pitching.

I think "bullpen day" is a face-saving way to say "Lauer gets game 4" to Berrios, Bassit, and Scherzer, which is fine.

Teams should use an opener more often anyway to pick matchups at the top of the lineup and reduce the number of times the best hitters see the starter, so giving Lauer an opener doesn't seem like a problem to me.

lol. What’s with the hard on for me. I checked in earlier but I actually had better things to do following the big win than on the message board today. Make no mistake I’m no less happy than anyone here they pulled this off, didn’t look good days ago and a wildcard series would’ve been big trouble. As for saying the season was lost…ya it was little rash but considering where we were trending at the deadline and Hoffman being Hoffman I was fired up they didn’t improve there and that could still rear up in the playoffs but I would probably walk that comment back a bit now.

Just hope the Red Sox and Yankees series goes extra innings all 3 games.

Both teams have their flaws and are very inconsistent, and I don’t see these games kick anyone back into gear offensively, it’s just going to wear on their pitching.
