2021 Blue Jays General Discussion Thread

[L K]

Vlad hits #42 and the Jays sweep the Yankees in a four game series.  That?s just the second time that has happened in New York in the last 20 years.  The Jays were the last team to do it in 2003

Gotta think the weekend series with Oakland and the following four with the Yanks is the season. Fare well and there may be a playoff chance. Lose those two series and it's the end of the line.

So you're telling me there's a chance!

I imagine this is how the Jays left New York.

Nice.

Missed a real opportunity against Baltimore last night with the Yanks and Red Sox losing. Sign of over confidence?

I?m going to say more of an emotional let down after the last two big series.

Probably correct on that one.

Hopefully. We?ll see how they do today. That will tell us a little more.

Jays have a huge advantage today. both 7-inning games. Can avoid taxing the bullpen.

Hopefully Ryu can go deep in game 1. They have Stripling starting game two coming off an extended stay on the injured list so who knows how many innings he's good for.

Jays can pick up a game today regardless, if they win both. Let's go!!!

Edit: Scratch that, Hatch starting game two now.

What a comeback.  Score 4 in the top of the second to avoid going down 2 in a row to Baltimore.  11-10 win

 

[L K]

Getting no-hit by a terrible pitcher into the 7th inning??and now they have put up 10 hits and 8 runs with only 1-out

Make that 11 hits and 11 runs

 

[bustaheims]

Crazy inning. This team is something.

I really think that they are on the cusp of being one of, if not the, best team in baseball. It really makes me hope they're able to hold onto Semien and Ray

Starting off hot in Game 4 of the series.  Up 5-0 after a Gurriel grand slam (he might be the hottest player on the team)

Vladdy might have something to say about that.

Hernandez also now with 102 RBIs to tie Vlad there off another grand slam.

14-3 Jays in the 3rd inning??16-3

33 in a 7 inning stretch. When the offence is rolling, it just rolls right over teams.
