Yeah, that was a pretty high intensity level of disappointment from a broadcast crew.

I also liked how the colour guy kept downplaying the quality of the Dogers hits in the 11th. They only scored 5 runs - a 2 RBI bloop single is clutch hitting.

Anyway, all 3 AL west teams losing has the Jays back in the playoffs, and only 0.5 back of Texas.

Now our playoff odds are at 61.2%.

Life as a Blue Jays fan is really a ####ing rollercoaster.

Just saw the odds on SN now.

Rangers: 77.8%
Jays: 64.9%
Mariners: 63.1%

Great catch by Biggio

[Skaloper]

Great play by Bo throwing home to get Devers. Now lets get some runs!

I wonder if the odds for the Jays are quite a bit lower because they don't hold any tie-breakers.

[KelVarnsen]

Jays should start taking pitches. Especially in the first inning. 5 pitch innings don’t give your pitchers a chance to rest.

[flamingred89]

Eh. Chapman did a thing.

[ben voyonsdonc]

A safety squeeze would be fun here.

[Skaloper]

Wooah a sac fly done right!

[flamingred89]

Ryu doing some amazing houdini work so far.

[Kasi]

Yeah please settle down Ryu. Letting a single and double for every inning is eventually going to bite you.

[flamingred89]

Another great escape. Amazing haha.

[KelVarnsen]

Oh boy. Yimi.

This Jays lineup is just weak. Next to no power left in it. Brandon Belt going AWOL in September has not helped. They badly need to add a good hitter to be at the top. At this point Springer is slightly above average as a hitter. So when Bo and Vladdy have off years in the power department it's really weak.

[ben voyonsdonc]

Guardians are doing yeoman’s work against the Rangers.

[flamingred89]

Whats happening in Cleveland is hilarious. The Guardians have scored 9 runs so far in the 4th. The Rangers are so so bad right now. And yet they swept the Jays lol.

[KelVarnsen]

Varsho!

[KelVarnsen]

Fun fact. The Jays scored as many runs in 4 games as the Guardians scored in the bottom of the 4th inning

Just catching up with the thread...

I don't think there's any question that it's on the players. However, I don't think it was the same (as bad) under Montoya.

More importantly though, while it's on the players, it is up to the organization to set the standard. This #### would NEVER happen in Tampa or St Louis - they simply wouldn't allow it.

Vladdy has been coasting all year, for whatever reason, and it's up to Schneider to bench him (and anyone else) until he/they accept the standards that should be expected.
