For all intents and purposes the playoffs are already underway for the Toronto Blue Jays, and that’s not great news considering the way they’re going as this weekend begins. Two straight defeats for the first time in nearly a month. Back-to-back seven-run debacles. An injury to Lourdes Gurriel Jr. A suspension for Ryan Borucki. A Rays team licking their chops for a crack at the Jays if they do make it in.
It was a wild week, and in this episode of Blue Jays Happy Hour we talk about all that, plus the road ahead, the Red Sox and Yankees, how the Astros can help the Jays, Charlie vs. Gibby, and so much more!
Plus, we had a great chat with Sportsnet’s outstanding analyst Joe Siddall, who told us about the work he does, how this week’s piece on Nate Pearson potentially tipping his pitches came together, shared his thoughts on the Kiermaier flap, and then some!
