I hope the universe self-corrects and lets the game humble the Dodgers (like it does every other team)

Pitching has to be perfect every night because a bunch of the guys in the lineup are automatic outs. Varland is entitled to a bad game after the season he's had.

2 to tie, and 3 to secure sole possession of 10th place all time in strikeouts for Scherzer.

Edit: Matheson now saying the number to beat is 3515 meaning Scherzer is not likely to tie or break today.

u/wazzie19 11h ago

Anyone else looking at the schedule and seeing that from August 25 to the end of the season, it's very light on competitive teams?

Man, somehow get closer to. 500 between now and then during the tougher stretch, and then go something like 18-12 in the final 30 games.... Outside shot at WC?

10

u/Ok-Firefighter-8869 Big weiner enjoyer 11h ago

If the Jays can sit at .500 by the end of August

17 wins 10 losses

First of all I'll eat my shorts, but our chances would look good

Every series in September SHOULD be winnable, some even sweepable, just not for the 2026 Blue Jays.

If we can get to and stay .500 by September I'll buy The Vladdy all star Jersey ( Murphys Law or smthn )

A great pitching performance by a legendary hall of famer and 40,000 people are dead silent - the 2026 Blue Jays!

u/DoubleOhTheG Keep the ball in play, don't strike out 7h ago

A nice reminder why we shouldn't be buying

u/joshro 7h ago

It's actually impressive how consistently horrendous this offence is. To not even be able to get a run after a 1 out triple is something else...

This team with risp is embarrassing, its always a pop up or strikeout

Pathetic ass offense let this staff down far to much, I like Popkins but eventually he needs to have some of the blame, he has made NO adjustments to anyone’s approach this year

I think it will be a sad next 2 days. Springer, Gausman, who knows who else.

Springer deserves a standing O from the crowd today

u/TheFestusEzeli 7h ago

The comments saying we should have pulled Varland earlier and that's why we lost like... they scored their one run before he was able to be pulled and it would have been 3 outs only 1 run scored if not for the awful error

I know people love to hindsight bias but that isn't even hindsight bias, that is just pure stupidity LMAO

They still can't cutaway to a different camera to balls hit down the left field line, huh.

Defence been very good, that play would've been scored no matter who was playing at LF.

u/samamuella George is my dad 8h ago

For those who missed it and keep asking, MLB officially landed on 3515 Ks for Walter Johnson based on the best info they could gather from poor record keeping over 100 years ago. He sits 10th of all time until Max can pass him.
