OT: The Toronto Blue Jays

It’s actually not confusing at all. It’s the basic rule we’ve all always known. We’ve always known that the only way that guy on third doesn’t score on a timing play is if you get the batter at first base even if the guy at third crosses home before that batter gets to first. All other plays, he scores if he crosses before the out. The same reasoning on a play where there’s a rundown with guys on base and the guy on third crosses before they tag one of the other runners on base.

The only messed up thing which makes zero sense on this play is the fact that he didn’t tag up. He can never score without tagging up.
 
i don't know what he means by "as well as they possibly could" tbh.

the other wild card teams have been trudging along at the usual .500 or so.
 
Nobody is running away with it. When you’re chasing 6 teams you’re in trouble if even one of them gets hot but that hasn’t happened.

Seattle has lost 6 in a row. Baltimore 3-7 in their last 10. Texas just lost two straight to LAA at the start of a baby-soft section of its schedule. They have LAA again tonight, then Oakland, Washington, LAA again, and another Oakland series at the end of the month.

I mean the 2nd wild card has been sitting at .500 all year. I don't see any real reason for that to change much, and on paper i still take this jays team ahead of all the wildcard competition so i'd give the jays the best chance at having the best record the rest of the way.

Last 10

HOU 5-5
TEX 5-5
MIN 4-6
DET 7-3
CLE 3-7
TOR 7-3
BAL 4-6
SEA 3-7

Keep winning.

Winning solves all problems.
 
This is eerily like the leafs chase to 5th last. Teams kept winning, leafs kept losing. Very few completely horse shit teams in the NHL last year, which was very helpful.

Fangraphs currently giving them a 16% chance of slipping in. This is destiny. Can, will.

It will get easier for the Jays after the Yankees and the Tampa series. If the Jays can win both series, the odds of the Jays getting a wild-card birth go up significantly.
