Blue Jays Discussion: Would rather get punched in May than knocked out in October - ALCS bound!

[Man Bear Pig]

I thought Harold Reynolds was relieved of being a color commentator? This Washington game is unbearable to watch and listen to.

He is soooooo over bearing, loud and obnoxious.

I actually turn the audio off when I hear him.

He's back? Mother of God...

 

[rojac]

Do Fox and TBS alternate between leagues each playoffs? I never really paid attention as to how that works. This year Fox is doing the NL, last year Fox did the AL and TBS did the NL, correct?

Correct.

 

[habamillions]

I think going into Toronto down 0-2 is a lot different than us going into Texas last year down 0-2. Our park will be absolutely insane, Arlington was pretty calm. We have a Cy Young calibre pitcher taking the mound where as last year they had their **** guys going games 3 and 4.

yeah perez and holland are not sanchez and stroman. big difference.

 

[trellaine201]

He's back? Mother of God...

Yes and he still interrupts the commentators!! He's so loud.

 

[rojac]

If you avoid the NL games, you don't need to listen to him. And though FOX does the World Series, Sportsnet is taking the MLB international feed this year instead of the FOX feed.

 

[PG Canuck]

Sanchez taking the mound back at home...man, I'm feeling confident. We are past the Rangers two best pitchers and we managed to beat them up quite well.

Go get 'em Sanchize.

Never EVER take anything for granted but really getting a warm fuzzy feeling about our offense finally waking up. We've been kinda waiting for the big bats to gel all year it seems but so far these playoffs they look good. Any team must crap their pants a bit having to face MVP Donaldson, then Power Machine Edwin, then another MAJOR threat and proven big game producer in Bautista... only to be followed by Vets Tulo, Martin, throw in a hot Zeek.... man it's fun to watch when they all get hungry.

Best part is our rotation is among the best in the game depth wise. For Texas to win they have to beat all three of Sanchez, Stroman, and Estrada, with a side of Liriano (hopefully he's ok). I like our chances with those odds but still have to deliver.

Looking good boys - stay focussed, hungry and patient. As the saying goes "success is not owned, it's rented, and the rents due tomorrow". We have enough very competent veterans that I think we have something here.

Bring on game 3.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Remember when we were up 4 to 1.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Too soon.

"This is the pitch of the at-bat for me, it's 2-1. It's either gonna be 3-1 or 2-2. Or an out. Or a basehit, or whatever."

This part gives me the most hope. Can't help but think Happ would see a bit of relief time if needed if the series does go long

 

[Raging Bull]

So if Cleveland and Toronto advance would the ALCS start before the NLCS teams were decided? Would be nice to get some extra rest.

Yes add Happ to the bullpen with the day off too.

Let's be honest if Texas can beat Sanchez, Stroman, and Estrada in a row, get through our bullpen and keep our bats silent for three games, they will deserve to win, I'll tip my cap. Of course anything can happen but I like our odds a bit better.

 

[canucksfan]

Jays were the first team last year to be down 2-0 after losing the first two at home to come back.

No the ALCS wouldn't start until all the division series are over.

 

[TorMapleJays]

Looks like we are peaking at the right time this year.. still not had a 10 game winning streak this year.......

 

[zeke]

i really really want to beat boston head to head but seeing them get swept humiliatingly in the first round is the next best thing.

Kind of amusing there season is hanging by a thread....And it's up to Bucholz to save them.

So, if the Jays lose on Sunday, the time of Game 4 on Monday depends on whether or not Cleveland wins on Sunday.

If Cleveland loses, meaning their series continues with the Indians up 2-1, Game 4 of the Jays-Rangers series will be at 1:00 PM.

If Cleveland wins, eliminating the Red Sox, Game 4 of the Jays-Rangers series will be at 6:00 PM.

I have the smuggest smile in the world after seeing David Price's performance.

Nowhere near worth that albatross of a contract, and I fully eat crow now that I wanted him resigned. We dodged a bullet.

They probably think that once you convert to standard Canadian Metric Time that it is an evening game. For the whole country
