Blue Jays GDT: (2015 v43) Next: @ Bal| Mon, Sept 28| 7pm ET/4pm PT| Estrada vs Tillman

[Swervin81]

Robbie Ross JR is awful. Don't they have anyone better?

Nope. Koji on the DL, Tazawa on the DL. And this isn't the Tazawa against the Jays that craps his pants, he's actually good against everyone else.

Much like the Yanks.

 

[Suntouchable13]

2 men on nobody out. For Christmas sake

Don't sweat it. It's over. Even if they win, so what? Are they coming back from a 4 game deficit with 6 games left? Please!

 

[rojac]

Its at the point where even if they come back we have nothing to really sweat. It would just be nice though to get it done formally and aim for KC.

But honestly, finishing ahead of KC is only relevant if the Jays meet KC in the ALCS.

It's a nice minor goal, but hardly an important one.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Just get the first out

 

[trellaine201]

What bout Miji? Lol he was awful

An extra game at home and especially away from massive pitcher's park Kauffman in the cold. It's a pretty big difference.

It'd be nice to go into a series against a wildcard winner who has already used their ace.

 

[AustonMcDavid]

2 more outs gogogo

 

[BertCorbeau]

Alright got one out .. Not bad, get another grounder

 

[Koonta]

damn i thought that was a sure double play

It also means that you get the wildcard winner, who will only be able to use their ace in one of the five games (while we get Price twice).

 

[BertCorbeau]

Top of the order for the Yanks

 

[Trouba95*]

Have the game on mute. Can't stand Michael Kay and YES network.

 

[AustonMcDavid]

1 more out!

 

[Trouba95*]

Two. One more you ****baller Ross.

 

[BertCorbeau]

2 out...

 

[Loosie]

Yay one out to go!

 

[Rysto]

Can we not see A-rod up and representing the tying run? Please?

 

[Hyperglide]

Helped out by our BROSox!! WOoot!

 

[TMLegend]

Better get Gardner. Don't wanna see A-Rod up with a chance to tie it.

It also gets us the WC team which I think is extremely relevant considering you get away from a teams best pitcher, and the WC race is close enough that we could see a 3 way tie for that final spot, which could result in a team using it's best pitcher Monday in a tiebreaker, 2nd best pitcher Tuesday in another tiebreaker, 3rd best pitcher Wednesday in the WC game, and then if they win their 4th best pitcher could be facing us game 1. Then we get to face their 5th best guy in game 2

Long odds that that happens, but even if it doesn't facing the WC team is a pitching advantage, since usually their best pitcher would already be used, we'd only face them once.

Fair enough, I suppose. That is, if you assume that the best pitcher to win the wild card game is the same one that they might want to use twice against the Jays.

In any event, all the Jays need to do is keep winning.

 

[AustonMcDavid]

STRIKEOUT! Magic number is TWO!!!!!!

 

[stakesishigh]

Yanks lose.

Fair enough, I suppose. That is, if you assume that the best pitcher to win the wild card game is the same one that they might want to use twice against the Jays.

Tanaka for the Yanks and Keuchel for the Astros? Fairly safe assumption they want to use those guys twice.

 

[Swervin81]

Ballgame! Down to 2!
