Lukes just swang at 3 consecutive ball fours with the bases loaded in the 12th inning. Jays have been so inconsistent today.

Spittin Facts and Stackin Sats
Pivotal game in the World Series tonight. A win for the Blue Jays ensures the series comes back to Toronto. A win for the Dodgers sets them up to potentially sweep at home and close it out or at very least take a 3-2 lead back to Toronto.
Game 1 Blue Jays played their game and won. Game 2 Dodgers played their game and won.
Let’s see what Game 3 brings Monday night.
Game 2 game plan should be the same as game one. Get to that Dodgers bullpen.
Let’s go Blue Jays!
The Blue Jays starting Yesavage in game 1 is an interesting choice. I don’t think Gausman threw enough Monday to keep him from starting but I think they like him on more rest and I am guessing with the Dodgers coming off a long rest they want to throw something at them they haven’t seen before.
I like the move but I don’t like that it sets up Yesavage for game 5 in LA which unless you are up 3-1 is a crucial game.
Dodgers biggest weakness is their bullpen. Blue Jays biggest strength is being a major pain to pitch against, driving up starters pitch counts and getting them out of the games early.
The series may very well come down to how many innings the Dodgers bullpen has to throw.
Game 7 should be fun. Stressful but fun.
The Brewers have scored 3 runs in 4 games. Wow this has been an utter domination by the Dodgers starting pitchers.
Trying to get through the middle of the order with your best two relievers sitting in the bullpen in a one run playoff game is completely unacceptable.
Kirby has not been sharp. Just needed to take advantage of his mistakes and the Jays did that this inning.

There you go Jays!
Wow Blue Jays not the start you wanted. Kirby has thrown some very hittable pitches.
A complete game! In the playoffs, in 2025. Wow, I feel like I travelled back in time.
Dodgers starters pitch 8 innings two nights in a row!!!
The Blue Jays sucked in game 1 and 2 but I am convinced AJ Hinch pulling Skubal cost the Tigers the ALDS and the Mariners winning that marathon game 5 gave them dragon energy. The Mariners are the kings of the streak. You don’t want to play them when they get hot and you would love to play them when they get cold. Jays better find a way to change the temperature real quick or this will be over in 4.
Blake Snell is absolutely dealing so Dave Roberts has left him in the game through 8 innings. What a crazy idea in the year 2025! If the Tigers did that with Skubal they would be in the ALCS.
My prediction for this series was spectacularly wrong. So far.
Not the best start but 8.5 innings to go.
My completely unsolicited, wild ass prediction for the remainder of the ALCS.
Blue Jays win games 2 and 3
Mariners win game 4
Blue Jays win games 5 and 6
Blue Jays are a better overall team but the Mariners pitching is better and when they get hot they get hot so this could easily be completely wrong.
On the bright side, the Jays can’t possibly look anymore lifeless at the plate tomorrow.
