The Blue Jays beating Ohtani and Snell at Chavez Ravine in consecutive games after that slow-motion death march is one of the guttiest things I've ever seen

Only 4 pitchers have recorded a Pitcher’s Cycle — striking out every batter in the opposing lineup — in the World Series:

Trey Yesavage, 2025 G5
Randy Johnson, 2001 G2
Bob Gibson, 1968 G1
Jesse Barnes, 1921 G6

TREY YESAVAGE

12 strikeouts
No walks

That’s the most strikeouts by a pitcher in a World Series game with no walks

Trey Yesavage: 7IP, 3H, 1 ER, 0BB, 12K in Game 5 of the World Series.

I think this could be the best and most important start in Blue Jays history. 22 year old rookie.

I believe that is the first time Trey Yesavage has thrown 100 pitches in a game as a professional

10+ strikeouts in first 5 innings of a World Series game:

Tonight Trey Yesavage
1963 G1 Sandy Koufax

Deliberately concede a corner rather than have the possibility of someone shooting from long range

He’d have been walked immediately

Even with a sweep, that Yankees series was so much more than I expected, some all time moments in a season that was going nowhere in May

What would you do here? Bridge to Hoffman or Yesavage or both?

Jays magic number is 4 - they hold the tiebreaker

Nice for Clarke but Fisher gave one up in the 1st to Soderstrom

Genuine question, is there evidence this kind of poll is predictive at this point in the election cycle?

Just underlines how you have to get Vlad signed whatever it takes - free agents won’t always take your money even if you have the highest offer

I think it’s just opportunity - was having to play out of position when Wright was fit

Gooch vs India in 1990

Weird watching a home game without Mark.

Spirited performance but a bit naive conceding goals / not adapting brilliantly to playing against 10

There’s a lot there for a new manager to work with, small tweaks not big changes needed

Hamer is still class, O’Hare fairly ineffective today

I think it’s actually worse that he didn’t - we won 2/3 and he fired Mark with no idea what happens next

I think you’re right. Have been disappointed that it doesn’t seem like they had thought at all about what kind of coach they’d want if Mark ever left

Agree, I’ve also thought it’ll be tough for whoever it is (seems inevitably FL) because they’re following MR and the form wasn’t that bad immediately before he was sacked & King has created an expectation there’ll be a short term improvement

If you believe what was said at the forum (I’m sceptical) Robins had this anyway. I don’t trust Dean “recruitment service” Austin one bit especially as he’s the link to Redknapp / Lampard

Not a catch in a million years

JOSH!

This was one of the bits from the forum that didn’t make much sense to me. Regardless of what you call them, following Doug’s logic we were looking for 2 people. Agree Frank doesn’t fit any of it

Surely he needs to come with an Assistant, otherwise you’ve got the same structure that Doug hated before

Grew up in Cov, first game in ‘91. Live in Bangor, Northern Ireland now via London and Toronto. Still have a ST in block 19

He’s a huge name but are we sure he’s a good manager? Not much experience and it sounds like he lost the dressing room at PSV inside a year

Yeah I’d definitely take him over Lampard. I’ll give whoever it is a fair chance but I can’t say I’m excited about anyone on the list
