4 d. ago Former Toronto Blue Jays coach says this one move cost team the World Series

Out of all the moments where the Toronto Blue Jays could've won the World Series, one play seems to stand above the rest of them, and it's seared into fans' brains.In the ninth inning of Game 7, Isiah Kiner-Falefa came within inches of scoring a championship-clinching run, sliding into home plate with the chance to give the Blue Jays a 5-4 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers.With one out in the bottom of the ninth and two runners on base, Daulton Varsho cracked a ground ball to the infield that had a shot at scoring the run from third.But despite a fumble on the pickup of a ground ball from Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas, Kiner-Falefa was just a fraction of a step too short. Ernie Clement then flew out on a wild play to centre field with another chance for Toronto to win the game, which they eventually lost in 11 innings.The biggest question that came out of many Blue Jays fans once they dissected it after the fact: why did Kiner-Falefa start his lead so close to third ...

2 w. ago Toronto Blue Jays reporter goes viral after World Series: 'The better team did not win'

The Toronto Blue Jays came up short in the World Series, but nobody can say they didn't give it their all up to the end.This was an underdog Blue Jays squad that went up against the most expensive MLB roster ever created in the LA Dodgers, and still found a way to push them to the very edge. Toronto was two outs away from winning it all, and forced the Dodgers to make a miracle comeback in the ninth inning to get past them.For many, the Blue Jays were the better team during this series just because of how much they dominated the Dodgers at times. They didn't come up with the championship in the end, that's true, but they exemplified everything you could want from a baseball team.That is an opinion surely held by Sportsnet reporter, and former MLB player, Caleb Joseph, who gave a brutally honest take while on the Rogers Centre field after the game. In a rare moment, we even saw the reporter swear on a live broadcast."It's gonna sound like sour grapes, and I don&#...
