Canada's Blue Jays arrive to the Bronx up 2-0 in this best-of-5, needing to win just one more game to win the series.

Today, the Jay's Shane Bieber takes on the Yanks' Carlos Rodón - pretty even pitching match between two solid pitchers. It's never easy to sweep a postseason series, but it'd be great if the Jays could. Because, game 4 will see a pitching advantage for the Yanks (Schlittler versus a Jays bullpen day), and then if it goes to game 5 the Jays will have no series lead (although they'll have home field advantage)

Let's go Blue Jays!!!

That's a bummer. Let's hope we can end it with game 4

Nice to have the lead before the 2nd out is recorded! Vladdy's a monster.

I was watching a Trevor May video earlier today where showed heat maps of batters strike zones. It showed Vladdy devowers pitches that are up and over the outer plate. When I saw that pitch to him, I was like "that's up and out!". Then it was up and gone!

got lucky with Wells coming off the bag on the slide with his front foot, but damn great throw by Kirk and great tag by Gimenez

Judge got lucky with that foul ball hitting the foul pole. Jus' trolling/ kidding ;P Welcome!

[-] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

yeah that was a really lucky one for them, not a good roll for the Jays tn with those few mishaps

[-] streetfestival@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

A 3-run lead isn't safe 😬. More runs boys, LFG!!! 💙 Let's slam the door on this series here 💪

Is it too late to start drinking on a work night?

[-] streetfestival@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

Nothing harder than booze please. All the momentum is with the Yanks right now. Can we get back into this? I think the Comeback Kids can

should we have played straw instead of santander?

[-] streetfestival@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

Or Lukes

If Little can put up a zero, that's a great start!

[-] streetfestival@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

Ugh. Tbh, we are getting outplayed right now

[-] streetfestival@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

Idk how I feel about this pitching move, taking Bieber out so early. Let's hope it works!!

[-] streetfestival@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

So far, so good. Thinking about it, on the other hand: their plan might have been to not let Bieber pitch a third time through the order, in which case they only pulled him 3 batters earlier than expected
