Geez Bo! Come on!

I can see by the complete lack of posts that the Jays played a great game and won.

Nice to see Whit Merrifield looking a little more comfortable out there. 6-14 with 2 doubles and 3 home runs in his last 4 games.

With more regular playing Whitt is looking very nice lately.

HUGE win especially with Baltimore and Seattle currently losing.

Edit: Scratch that

Whew.. Not a convincing win but never the less a win is a win.

Manoah is money. Genuine CY contender.

 

[Jeremy]

He’s glorious.

Biggest game of the season to this point?

Fitting it's the saviour Stripling

 

[Pwner]

Jays leading 4 - 1, top of the 6th against the Rays top pitcher. Stripling with another gem. If you were to tell me that Berrios and Stripling would have switched rotation spots at the beginning of the year, I won't have believed you

Hernandez with a BOMB! 6 - 1 Jays in the 8th.

Berrios can fully redeem himself with a big playoffs (out of the bullpen?) But Stripling has been magnificent.

I understand the appeal of a 100 mph fastball...but I like watching pitchers more than hurlers.
Manoah and Stripling pitch

Very good sign they were able to battle back and save the series.

 

[Pwner]

Where is all the concern over the Jays? Magic number is now 5! I guess everyone was watching the Bills get hosed by the refs and that heat (mainly the heat)

 

[axlsalinger]

Impressive showing by the Jays up against the Rays ace, another Stripling gem, 4 homers and a 7-1 win.

 

[CTheBigPicture]

Great win. The Rays were never really close.

Looking at the schedule, and assuming Cleveland and Houston don't just throw games after they clinch, I think the WC will be between the Jays and the Mariners. We'll see in which venue.

 

[CTheBigPicture]

KC puts up ELEVEN runs in the bottom of the six vs Seattle . They are up one now.

 

[CTheBigPicture]

Don't get swept in any upcoming series + win one of the series (i.e. total of 5 wins) should be enough to finish first in the WC I believe.

 

[MapleLeafBlueJayBoy]

Seattle and Baltimore both lose.

I'm getting a boner. Playoff baseball.
