Rogers Centre is electric once again, and the Jays are feeding off it once again.
I took it upon myself to watch some World Series games from '92 and '93, and the comparisons basically write themselves.
4-0 Jays here against the Red Sox. Meanwhile, the Yankees are playing a set against the Mets. Advantage Jays.

I'm guessing that would be due to the review. Probably while a review is going on, even if the run would not be affected by the outcome, they rewind the scoresheet to before the pitch.
The play in question was an infield single with runners on the corners that was initially called a 5-3 put-out.

For some reason the Red Sox continue to give the Jays fits. And meanwhile, Sabathia is going to beat the Mets tonight, reducing the Jays' lead in the division to 2.5 games.
In actual good news for the Jays, Masahiro Tanaka won't be able to pitch on Wednesday.

In case there aren't enough sports to watch, the Jays are winning he series-opener against the Yankees 4-0 entering the 8th.
Price went 7 innings, allowing 0 runs on only 2 hits, and I think only one walk.

Cecil!!!
Yeah, 100TG, Price would probably have gone at least 8 if Pennington hadn't made that error in the 3rd.

We won, but in concerning fashion. The Jays have developed a habit lately of having one good inning offensively, then changing their approach and putting the bats away from there on out. Puts a lot of unnecessary pressure on the bullpen.

Perhaps. I just love how patient they are at the plate in the first, and then they start diving in. Smoak's at-bat with the bases loaded and no one out in the... 4th? ... exemplifies it, really. Chases the first pitch high out of the strike zone, and fouls it off, then chases the next pick in the exact same spot and fouls out.
Realistically, even if it's a matter of the Jays being "handled," that's still concerning. This offense is meant to be a juggernaut, and if they get 3 in the first, they should be expecting 5/6 runs at least for the game, especially when they get into the bullpen in the fourth.
the Jays aren't changing their approach, take Donaldson for example, teams have learned to thrown him hard stuff inside and soft stuff away. He's struggling at the plate right now but he'll get it out of it. Regression was bound to happen at some point. Also let's remember he's played almost every inning this year, he could be getting tired. I think if we clinch early enough we could see a lot of our big boys take some time off and rest up a bit for the playoffs.
