Well, the Blue Jays didn't sweep last night. It was a pretty disappointing game all around other than the 6 runs scored: many fielding misplays, Shane didn't have it and couldn't put guys away up 6-1 in the 3rd, and our bullpen got hit hard too.

Jays enter tonight's game up 2-1 in the series. They need 1 more win to advance, while the Yankees need two wins to advance.

How are you feeling? What's your prediction on the series at this point? How do you think the Jays will deploy their pitching? Will we see either Gausman or Yesavage tonight on reduced rest?

So, I'm a filthy casual (this was the first game I've watched the entirety of on tv) so while I was happy about the win, I kept grinning when I thought about how stoked you must be.

Anyway, hope you're still enjoying that "we won!" Post glow!

bummed about no schneider. he's been hitting consistently, and running up pitch counts.

schlittler is a young rookie.... hopefully we keep getting early runs and shake the kid up... make him schlit the bed a little

Nice. I agree with you about no Davis Schneider. And Anthony Santander over Davis Schneider?! Idk, but hopefully it works out

[-] 9488fcea02a9@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

Ok, my friend pointed out that santander is a switch hitter, so he has that going for him

Also made that fly ball catch, so good start!

He's had some good PAs where he's seen a lot of pitches too

hey look some decent fielding on that dp

[-] streetfestival@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

Vladdy's having a series 😎

[-] Nevrome@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago

If we ever get a bigger cushion in tonight's game, yes. Give me a Yesavage on a 1 or 2 inning outing. Keep him somewhat ready considering the Tigers forced a game 5 against the Mariners so we could get an additional day off.

[-] 9488fcea02a9@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

Wow... is every pitcher going to be on short leash??

[-] streetfestival@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

While the game is close, I think so

[-] MyBrainHurts@piefed.ca 4 points 1 week ago

That was a terrifying inning!

Not great for the heart but damn, this is such a tense and exciting game!

[-] 9488fcea02a9@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

I start having anxiety since first inning of every game...

Honestly, i dont watch the jays throughout the regular seasonr because its bad for my health lol

[-] MyBrainHurts@piefed.ca 4 points 1 week ago

Well, hopefully that'll make it that much more awesome when they win the whole thing?

[-] streetfestival@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

Yes, Ser!!! Let's keep the momentum of that clean inning going with some RUNS

[-] streetfestival@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

Crooked #s look good on the top of the scoreboard 😎

[-] 9488fcea02a9@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

These guys make every high flyball so dramatic......

[-] streetfestival@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

True. Giménez gives me some reassurance though

[-] streetfestival@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

Would be HUGE if Lauer could post a few zeroes on the scoreboard 😍

[-] 9488fcea02a9@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

LFG

[-] streetfestival@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

Another leadoff hit! Can we squeak out 1 run? :P

[-] streetfestival@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

Jays on the corners, no out, top of the order up. LFG Jays!!!

[-] streetfestival@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

Runs are coming slowly so far tonight - unlike the other games of this series. It's on both sides though. Hopefully the Jays can stay head or, even better, increase the lead. Our RISP has been trending downward across games of the series so far
