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 ...

6 d. ago Here's what Toronto Blue Jays players talk about in their off

The Toronto Blue Jays might not be playing baseball anymore, but that doesn't mean they've stopped keeping in touch.Toronto outfielder Davis Schneider revealed that the team's group chat is still popping off despite the team's World Series loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers, although there isn't a lot of baseball talk there, admittedly."We still have a group chat right now. We still have fantasy football, so everyone kind of keeps in touch and everything like that. We don't talk baseball or anything, so that's kind of off the table. But we just talk about life and what the people are up to and everything like that. There's just a lot of good guys," Schneider said in an interview this week on TSN 1050's OverDrive.The Blue Jays' close-knit clubhouse was well-documented throughout the team's World Series run, and Schneider says that it's not just a shtick played up to the media."Everyone just got along with each...

6 d. ago Max Scherzer still wrapping his head around his Toronto Blue Jays future

The Toronto Blue Jays' fateful World Series run was full of unlikely heroes — and their oldest player nearly had a shot at being one of their biggest.In Game 7 of the World Series, Toronto opted to start 41-year-old Max Scherzer, who often looked like a shell of himself during much of an injury-riddled season after signing a one-year deal with the Blue Jays.But during his third postseason start on the biggest possible stage, Scherzer did about everything he was asked — leaving the game with a 3-1 lead and a shot for Toronto to win it all.He went 4.1 innings, giving up one earned run and four hits. But in a game that ended up going 11 innings and that featured a combined 13 pitchers, Scherzer's story became a footnote and not the lede.As you know by now, the Los Angeles Dodgers had other plans, scoring four runs on Toronto's bullpen for an eventual 5-4 win.But Scherzer's postseason performance showed that the three-time Cy Young winner just might be able t...

2 w. ago Has Bo Bichette played his last game in a Toronto Blue Jays uniform?

For Bo Bichette and the Toronto Blue Jays, there was almost an all-time moment to potentially conclude their time together.In Game 7 of the World Series, a hobbled Bichette stepped up to the plate in the second inning — and launched a blast over the outfield wall to give Toronto a 3-0 lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers.Had Toronto gone on to win the title, Bichette's homer might've been printed on t-shirts and the front page of newspapers all over the country. But Toronto ended up scoring just one more run that game and gave up five, with the Dodgers taking Game 7 by a 5-4 score in the 11th inning.The home run, and Bichette's whole appearance in the World Series, were perhaps clouded by some thoughts about how exactly to handle his pending free agency this offseason. Bichette has been a fan favourite since making his debut in 2019, but is without a contract for next year.Will Bichette be on the Blue Jays next year?NBC Sports' Matthew Pouliot projects a contract ...

It was as devastating a World Series loss as could be, as the Blue Jays came so close to finishing the job.The Blue Jays had a good start to this one, with Bo Bichette launching a three-run home run in the third inning.
