2021 Baseball Season AKA Pandemic Baseball: The Second Wave

The Cards use Devil Magic of some sort. The Jays and M's both lost last night Hopefully they'll get the better of the Rays and Red Sox tonight! -

Let's not get ahead of ourselves!!! But I will admit that I have thought a little bit about the Jays' chances to win the division. They are 12-1 to start September, while Tampa is 5-7. It's unreasonable to ask the Jays to win all 6 games against Tampa. It's not impossible, but it's improbable... but, on the other hand, they're already doing the improbable by going 12-1 so far in September, so... maybe there's a slim chance that they could do it? It would be an incredible finish to the season if they could pull it off. I'm not going to get my hopes up yet though. Just take care of business and secure a WC spot. -

The Jays are up 6-0 against the Rays right now (bottom of the 5th). The game ain’t over yet, but… Lourdes Gurriel Jr. is on a crazy hot streak right now. The dude can’t get out. He’s a very aggressive hitter with really good plate coverage. When he’s on fire like this, what can a pitcher do? He’ll hit anything right now. Keep it up, Lourdes! -

Yesterday the Jays scored 22 runs across two games. Today another 22 They has like 16 runs on the board by the 3rd inning. I was starting to feel a bit bad for the players on the O’s. What a bad team. Ain’t the players fault either. Management aren’t spending any money on players or trying to win. -

Huge comeback win by the Jays in game one of today’s double-header. I was worried for a while there Four runs in the final inning to go ahead 11-10! -

Man, I am riding high after that sweep of NYY. 23 games left on the Jays' sched. 14 (!) are against the O's and Twins. Both of those teams stink. Don't mess around, Blue Jays, don't play down to their levels. Take care of business and rack up a bunch of wins. Plz 🙏 Because there are still 3 games left vs. NYY that I really want to see them win too. And 6 games vs. Tampa that I am less confident about. No shame if they lose a few games to the Rays, or even Yankees. The Rays are very good this year, and the Yanks are a solid team too. But don't go losing to the bottom-feeders. -

I like your optimism dude! I won’t get my hopes up too much yet, but this weekend’s series against Oakland was great. Pitching faltered but the bats finally came through. This team should be able to out-score teams quite a bit. In the remainder of the schedule, Toronto plays Baltimore several more times too. They absolutely need to win as many games as possible against the Yanks, but racking up wins against the O’s is also very important. I don’t think the Jays have any games left against Boston though. We need them to lose. -

Seattle usually doesn’t win in blow-outs, so it’s tough against teams with lots of offensive firepower. They need to keep games close. Toronto stopped the bleeding a little bit last night with a win, but even if they win a lot of their remaining games, they might still come up short. Too many teams ahead of them. I think they do still have a couple series left against NYY though. Winning those games could help them move up the Wild Card standings. But even still, they need Boston, Seattle, Oakland to start losing more games too. -

Chris Davis retired. Boy did his production fall off a cliff a few years ago. It was almost comical how bad his slump was during his first really bad season, but then he never rebounded from it became a pretty sad thing to watch. -

The Jays took 3 of 4 games from Boston this weekend! Friday night they thumped Boston and had a 9-run inning (glorious stuff), Saturday was a double-header with a couple of close games, and then today was a comeback win on a Springer 3-run homer. The Toronto bullpen is still a concern… but the lineup is so dangerous. They are on a roll since moving back to Toronto. -

While that is nice, I'd rather the Mariners just lose The Jays need to go on a run to get back into the Wild Card picture, but they also need some of the teams ahead of them to start losing more. I can't believe the M's are still doing as well as they are. Their record in one-run games is pretty incredible. When games aren't close though, they tend to lose a lot. The run differential isn't good. -

Yeah the Cubs really cleaned house. I agree that this deadline was nuts. I gotta read through MLBTR later to get caught up on everything. Between the trade deadline and all the stuff happening during NBA draft night last night, there have been so many interesting transactions to follow along with. -

The Blue Jays are apparently trading for Jose Berrios and Joakim Soria. Looks like Soria has been decent in the DBacks bullpen this year. And Berrios should be a great addition to the starting rotation, though the cost of acquiring him wasn't cheap. I'm no prospect-hugger, so I'll trade prospects any day of the week to get a proven big leaguer, but the guys they traded for Berrios were regarded pretty highly in the Jays' farm system. -

Yeah, I thought after the rumours last night that Scherzer to the Pads was a done deal Turner is of course a great pick-up as well. I guess this is the Dodgers telling the Giants and Padres to GTFO (I'm still having trouble wrapping my mind about this Giants team being in first place...) This is not going to be the Blue Jays year, I don't think. It will take a very strong finish to even get into the Wild Card play-in I still think they can stay competitive, and maybe even fight their way into the WC game, but it ain't gonna be easy. Joey Gallo would have fit the Jays' *so* well... and now he's a Yankee Truly the worst possible outcome. -

Yeah you’re dumb Mariners really ruined Canada Day The Jays bounced back quick though and have won two in a row against the Rays. Nothing is more satisfying than beating those damn Rays. -

After a rough stretch last week, the Jays have now won 5 in a row. Won 2 against Baltimore after dropping the series opener, then swept the 2-game series in Miami, and last night won the next series opener vs. Baltimore. 3 more games vs. Baltimore over the weekend, and then an off-day, and then 3 games vs. the Mariners. Please win them all, Blue Jays! -

The foreign substance thing is going to be really interesting to watch. Could be an awkward situation for the umps to be in. I think they like enforcing rules though, so I guess it will be ok for them. -

The Dbacks might keep losing forever Sadly, my Jays have hit a rough patch of late too. Vlad has been a bright spot all season, which is great, but they’re losing what could be important games right now. Gotta get back into that Wild Card race. George Springer has only played in 4 games for the Jays this year
