Jays talk is the worst right now

 

[Loco4Coco]

Good luck to all the teams in the postseason, may the best team win.

 

[rinse82]

No kidding. Would hate to have to explain the coming playoff collapse for years.



See, the 2001 Mariners finished the season at 116-46 and was recognized as the no questions favorite entering the playoffs. Amazing hitting, incredible pitching, they had it all. And they got rolled by the Yanks in the playoffs.

That's what Seattle has to do with the 2015 Toronto Blue Jays.

Playoff collapse?

Lol the MLB playoffs are essentially a crapshoot.

If they lose in round 1, it won't be because they decided to rest players under the circumstances they faced after the Baltimore rainout.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

So... We're up against the Rangers?

Okay.

You're an idiot. That is all.

yay Buctober

boo national tv broadcasts from here on out

 

[3N16MA]

Yanks can't pitch their way out of a wet paper bag.

They won't survive the Astros or the Rangers.

Your opinion is invalid.

 

[GK86]

So... We're up against the Rangers?

Okay.

Jays' hitters must be drooling at the fact that they will play over at the Rangers ballpark.

yay Buctober

shame it'll end Wednesday

Toronto isn't Vancouver Goddamn it.

Most of those Jays fans are also Leafs fans. They know all about losing and are ready to take it.

 

[CygnusXS]

Congrats on another World Series championship, St. Louis.

IT WAS 4-1!

I'm sorry.

I'm not ready.

But this Jays team actually has talent, which is something the Leafs haven't had in over a decade.

 

[3N16MA]

It's true that this Jays team won't blow leads like the Leafs. They will probably drop another 4-5 runs on you for breathing room.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Really want Castro to pimp the hell out of a homerun in the playoffs.

He nearly was off the roster before having an amazing month.

Dodgers are going all the way* this year baby!

Kerhsaw actually going to pitch like Kershaw this postseason?

That's the idea that should scare p much everyone.

I hope so. I hate the narrative that he can't deliver in the postseason, as if that sample size is meaningful at all.

Think positive! Don't let these non-believers get their way!

Ahh damnit, I'm stupid for missing this thread going up. Was too busy seeing the locker room celebrations on Twitter.

This'll be an interesting week before the Divisional Series.

2000 is reborn, Yankees-Mets subway series, it ends exactly the same way it did last time, Frozenprince cries.

FUCK YEAH WE'RE GETTING OCTOBER KERSHAW NLCS HERE WE COME.

this post surely won't backfire

 

[jman2050]

Really though I gave up trying to make a predictive playoff analysis ages ago. This isn't basketball, every possible combination of series wins and losses you can think of is a realistic possibility because baseball is stupid like that.

According to Gaf, the Dodgers are the underdog.

Also the Dodgers led the NL in home runs this year. Last time was 1983.

[not psycho]

Dodgers should really be considered the favorites with Kershaw and Greinke. Cardinals have to be the favorites though in an odd year. And Toronto is obviously the real favorites with that run differential and David Price.

Teams I want to win:

1. Cubs (Back to the Future)
2. Blue Jays (awesome team especially if Tulo plays well)
3. Pirates (the most likable team)
4. Mets (Cespedes is cool)
5. Astros (have never won)
6. Rangers (have never won)
7. Royals (not super likable but would still be fun to see them win)

...so it will probably be Cards/Dodgers vs Yankees

Cespedes will slay him.

Leafs are doo-doo. I like the Canadiens better.

Sorry Kave!

You, I like you

If the Mets can at least split the first 2 games, they'll win the series.

deGrom/Thor/Harvey>Grenke/Kershaw.

 

[3N16MA]

Can Harvey pitch more than 6 innings? Did he clear it with Boras?

Can't wait to see Harvey at the first playoff game ever at Citi Field!

 

[Parch]

It's really, really important to point out the Blue Jays have absolutely zero association with the Maple Leafs organization. Don't want any of that rubbing off.

They're the Canada Blue Jays who just happen to play in Toronto.

 

[pestul]

The Jays probably have a better shot at a championship within the next 5-10yrs than all Canadian NHL teams combined do..

Oilers will continue to get #1 picks and go nowhere.

 

[Line_HTX]

Then again, I do like this streak of how many years the Cup hasn't returned to Canada though.

=D

Hey the Oilers...

Okay no not even gonna try.

 

[ShaneB]

Let's go Blue Jays.

Hoping for a fun playoffs. Rooting for the Cubs as well.

Dodgers vs Mets will be a fun series.

Still can't believe the Rangers actually ended up winning the division.

I think there were almost as many people saying they should be sellers as there were about the Padres

 

[CygnusXS]

I'm excited for prospect list season. The Braves are respectable in that department again!

 

[Meier]

Well that is some grade A bullshit. Lost my fantasy baseball championship on that Chris Davis home run in the 8th. Meant the guy tied me in hits and HRs and he won the week 5-4 rather than losing 6-5. Unfuckingbelievable.

Who are the starters for the wildcard games?

Gerrit Cole is starting for the Pirates.

 

[BumRush]

I know he looked good away the last couple of starts but line syndergaard up for home, Terry. He's insane there.
