I can never have hopes with this team.  I guess at least we're not the Brewers who are probably going to get swept.

It ain't over yet! It's basically a best-of-three now. Toronto has home field advantage... but that hasn't really mattered much so far  

 

I have some questions about Dan Wilson's bullpen management after last night's game. I know Toronto was putting a lot of pressure on Castillo in the 3rd... but that felt like too early of a hook. 

 

On the Jays' side, I was thrilled with Scherzer's start last night. What a gutsy performance from the old man! Nearly got them 6 innings. That helped preserve the bullpen a bit more for tonight. They have Gausman going tonight, who I am hoping can give the team 6 innings as well if not more if his command is good. But if he gets chased early then it's not a complete disaster. 

 

Which team will have the 3-2 lead going back to Toronto? I've been telling everybody all week long that the Jays were going to win at least two games in Seattle, so that's mission accomplished. I don't want to get greedy.... but it feels like sweeping all three games in Seattle is possible!
