3 h. ago Here's why the Toronto Blue Jays pulled Trey Yesavage in historic Yankees beatdown

Even in perhaps the best two-game stretch of his entire run as Toronto Blue Jays manager, John Schneider knows that he's not always going to be the most popular guy in town.On Sunday, Schneider's Blue Jays pulled off a game anyone in attendance will probably never forget.While Toronto scored 13 runs on the day to take a 2-0 series lead over the New York Yankees, the biggest star of the game was starting pitcher Trey Yesavage, who put on one of the best performances anyone's ever had wearing a Jays uniform.In just 5.1 innings of work (and only his fourth-ever MLB start), the 22-year-old rookie made Jays postseason history with a franchise-record 11 strikeouts on the day, giving up no hits and just one walk.But he actually could've probably had a better performance, had he not been pulled after just 78 pitches. More than half-way to what would've been the first no-hitter in Blue Jays playoff history, Schneider decided he'd rather play the percentages and let Ye...

23 h. ago Toronto Blue Jays got totally disrespected by American media in Yankees series predictions

The Toronto Blue Jays have home-field advantage. They also beat the New York Yankees in eight of 13 games this season, including victories in six of seven games against the Yanks at Rogers Centre.Don't tell that to American media members, who don't seem to be taking the Blue Jays seriously.Most U.S. media outlets believe the Yankees will emerge victorious over Toronto during the first-ever meeting between these two teams in the postseason.On MLB.com, about two-thirds of their writers said that the Yankees will prevail against the Blue Jays, despite being the lower seed. They highlighted Bo Bichette's absence and the emergence of New York pitcher Camerom Schlittler as factors that could be the difference in the series.That slant towards the Yankees comes off as tame compared to other outlets.A panel of five CBS Sports writers all unanimously picked the Yankees to beat the Jays, although all of their writers said the series would go to a decisive Game 5."I question th...

It's been nearly a month since Buck Martinez criticized the New York Yankees.However, his comments haven't been forgotten.When the Blue Jays beat the Houston Astros on Sept. 9, the story wasn't about the final result (a 4-3 Toronto win). What most remember from that game were Martinez's comments in the seventh inning when he found out that the Detroit Tigers were pounding the Yankees."You know, the Yankees, they're not a good team. I don't care what their record is. They have a lot of wild pitches, they make a lot of mistakes in the field, they don't run the bases very well. If they don't hit home runs, they don't have a chance to win."Well, turns out that neither the fans nor Yankees manager Aaron Boone have forgotten his comments.“Contrary to some thoughts up here, we’re a really good team," Boone told reporters on Friday.Just in case it wasn't clear who Boone was talking about, he later clarified."I know...
