💙 2025 ALCS Game 2: Mariners @ Blue Jays (Mon, Oct 13th, 5:03 ET) discussion thread 💙

Yesterday's game was a disappointment. Let's win game 2. LFG, Blue Jays!!!

I really thought they were going to work Seattle's starting pitcher into the dirt with a 25 pitch first inning. Then they just... swung at everything? Not sure what happened, whether they lost confidence in the umpire's strike zone, or if the pressure to press their advantage got to them, or what, but it was so frustrating! They've been good this year about bouncing back from games like that, so hopefully we're heading to the coast all tied up.

Davis Schneider replaces Santander, who was pulled d/t back soreness. Today's lineup: 1. Springer DH 2. Lukes RF 3. Guerrero 1B 4. Barger 3B 5. Kirk C 6. Varsho CF 7. Clement 2B 8. Schneider LF 9. Gimenez SS

Yeah, i was so excited we were en route to chasing their starter early... but we did even worse against thier bullpen, lol

Their bullpen is a bit of a problem. Their leverage guys are good. They could have set themselves up for an easy series if they could have turned yesterday into a bullpen game, but alas...

[streetfestival@lemmy.ca]

Glad to see Lukes back in the lineup after leaving the game yesterday

[streetfestival@lemmy.ca]

I'm glad we got 2 back! We can build on that quality half-inning

[streetfestival@lemmy.ca]

NJ, Trey, putting up a zero!

[streetfestival@lemmy.ca]

Tight strikezone

[9488fcea02a9@sh.itjust.works]

I mean... at least the ump is consistent.... lots of borderline calls going both ways Just stings more when it goes against the jays

[Guest]

Tight, and narrow.

Good job Yesavage, that's how you bounce back after a rocky start. Onto the bottom of the 4th, let's score some runs.

[Guest]

Starting to wonder if the Tigers would have been easier opponents lol.

[streetfestival@lemmy.ca]

They def would have been, especially with Skubal pitching DS5

[streetfestival@lemmy.ca]

Damn, fam, this is brutal...

[Guest]

It sure is. We're seeing what we inflicted on NY, lol. By the way, thanks for the gameday thread setups.

Back to the Toronto of old, swinging at everything, hollow responses and fumbling balls. Franchise collapse of epic proportions. Mariners sweep in 4, unless something dramatically changes.

[Guest]

I hope they give us a glimpse of hope in game 3 so we can turn the tide.

Damn. Toronto fans at the skydome... look so dejected already. I still believe... LETS GO BLUE JAYS
