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?

You aren't going to see Gausman or Yesavage, you are going to see a bullpen game tonight.

I don't think it was so much the bullpen that lost them the game last night, as it was the several fielding misplays that did them in. It looked like there was some pretty weird winds going on there last night, I don't think that was helping anything. Also if you thought they were going to go into New York and do what they did on the weekend, you were kidding yourself.

I think we are in for a barn burner of a game tonight. I'm still pretty confident about our prospects, I think it's going to be done tonight, but I'm betting on it being a close game for the large part. At the same time, this also might be where the bullpen tear through on the weekend rears it's ugly head for the Yankees.

grindinggears@lemmy.ca I'm going to agree with you because I like your conclusion!

No, but seriously, I'm shocked they didn't shell the Yankees bullpen last night. I don't think they'll be able to hold back the Jay's bats tonight. But the team won the division on its defense, and that has to be present for them to get through the series. If that falters, we're going back to the SkyDome.

i mean, it looked like it was heading that way in the 3rd inning...

and then the fielding errors. schenider should have called barger off on that fly ball.... he had a way better view and i'm pretty sure the outfielder takes precedence in those situations

I hope we see better fielding in tonight's lineup. No Tony. (Sorry, Tony). The defence was sooo bad last night compared to the first two games

Everything is on the table!!
