So looking at how close IKF was from scoring the game winner I wonder if he didn't try to slide if he would have been safe. I didn't notice at first, but it was a force play so I don't think sliding was the best choice...at least foot first. Although I expect it was probably instinct, but damn it sucks it just seems a lot went wrong for the Jays and right for the Dodgers in a lot of instances. 

Hey, this is what I felt after the ALCS.

Simply Yamamoto was a Blue Jay Killer. 

I mean the Jays were 9 outs away from elimination down 2 runs in the ALCS game 7, so they got this. 

Good to see it go 7 games though, been a while since we had a good world series. 

Wow, That was a disastrous bottom of the 9th for the Jays. 2nd and 3rd with nobody out for only the game to be over after 3 pitches. 

Bringing up Yesavage at the end of the season is turning out to be a really good move. 12 K's and no walks. 

Snell is off to a bad start for game 5.

So, are they going to walk him each at bat now? Jays going to need Bieber to eat as many innings as he can. 

I was hoping the Jays could get to the Dodger Bullpen, but Yamamoto said no. 

I don't think he'll ever forgive the bullpen for failing to get one out against the Orioles after not allowing a hit.

The Jays already done more than the Brewers did in the entire series vs the Dodgers. Someone should tell them that's how a number 1 seed should look. 

I don't understand pitching to Springer with first open and only 1 out. I felt he was about to hit a home run at that point. 

Seattle's starters have been pretty terrible this series, their number 5 has been the best the entire series. Hopefully Kirby pitches more like game 5 of the ALDS than game 3.

The Mariners were pretty sloppy last night overall. The errors, Crawford's baserunning mistake.

The Jays are probably the better team to face L.A., but they've both been pretty even this series. 

So regardless of who wins...how do you feel about facing Ohtani? 

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

Did Dan expect to lose this game? They pulled Gilbert in game two once he start running into trouble, but left Kirby in for game 3? 

Uhh...you gonna be okay over there? 

Wasn't expecting the M's going back to Seattle up 2-0. Miller zoning in after that terrible first was so huge. Kirby and Castillo have been pretty good at home this season and Woo is projected to be the Game 5 starter if it gets that far. 

That was so nerve-wrecking. 

It's important that Bryan Woo is on the ALCS Roster and can pitch game one.

I...why pull Kirby after only 66 pitches? Pulling Miller for Speier in game 4 didn't work, so let's do it again. Analytics suck. 

Have fun with the Tigers, just someone beat the Dodgers. 

Yo. Dr. B. Blue Jays eliminate the Yankees. At first I thought they were waking up a beast in Judge after game 3, but they finished it off. 

Now if the Mariners can beat Skubal for the 4th time this season I guess we'll be facing off in the ALCS. 

I've missed our baseball conversations and with both the Blue Jays and Mariners possibly going into the playoffs we have a lot to talk about. 

The AL Wild Card is interesting, I'm still pulling for the M's to take one or the West, but if they continue to falter I'd like to see the Tigers take the 2nd Wild Card. 

Hey man...it hurts to see Seattle waste this pitching core. 

I hope the M's trade for a hitter AND Julio has the August he had last year. The offense is abysmal, hard to actually believe they've been in first being dead last in batting average. 

Although I expect the Astro's to take first after the All-Star game since they play each other. 

You uh, still watching Baseball?

Seattle had a 10 game lead in the division, but it's probably time to watch them cough that back up. Since it's already starting. 

How about that NL Wild Card? 

Edit: Shit that didn't take long, already down to only a 5.5 game lead. 

AL West where everyone has a negative run differential. This is going to be like last year, where no one wants to win the division. 

Again the Mariners don't have the hitting core to match their pitching rotation. Although the first two months were the M's hardest part of their schedule, so I'll take being above .500 and in first place. 

Both of our teams are pretty unfortunate to face the Twins while they are hot.
