13 h. ago All the ways Vladdy and Toronto Blue Jays ruthlessly trolled the New York Yankees

Toronto Blue Jays superstar Vladimir Guerrero Jr. might've been the happiest man on the planet on Wednesday evening.And he couldn't stop himself from having a bit of fun at the New York Yankees' expense.A few months after signing a 14-year, $500-million contract that is the biggest in Canadian sports history, Guerrero had himself a performance for the ages to help knock the Yankees out of the playoffs.In just 20 at-bats across four games, Guerrero picked up nine hits, three home runs, nine RBIs, and most importantly, did enough to help the Jays win their first playoff series in nine years.After the game, Guerrero joined former Boston Red Sox slugger and current Fox MLB analyst David Ortiz for a post-game interview.But it was mostly just an excuse for the two of them to make fun of their hated mutual rival.Ortiz got Guerrero to participate in his signature catchphrase, getting the Blue Jays slugger to yell out a "Daaaaa Yankeees lose!" that has already gone vira...

37 h. ago Here's when Toronto Blue Jays ALCS games will happen if they beat Yankees

If there's any solace in Tuesday night's Game 3 collapse, the Toronto Blue Jays will still have more home games these playoffs.Either they'll be back at Rogers Centre Friday night for a tense winner-take-all Game 5 in the American League Division Series against the New York Yankees, or they'll be the higher-ranked team heading into the American League Championship Series starting this weekend.And with the latter very much a real possibility as the Jays are just one game away, the team announced on Wednesday that their ticket sales will start soon.As of Thursday at 10 a.m. EDT, ALCS tickets will be available for purchase through the team's official website.Friday's potential Game 5 is sold out, though tickets are still available via the resale market on both Ticketmaster and third-party sites like SeatGeek and StubHub. The cheapest ticket we saw as of Wednesday afternoon was $260 in the upper deck of the Rogers Centre.Blue Jays fans are also encouraged to...

3 d. ago When will Toronto Blue Jays rookie phenom Trey Yesavage pitch next?

The Toronto Blue Jays found their newest postseason legend on Sunday.Rising up through the minor leagues at a rapid rate, the Jays' 2024 first-round draft pick, Trey Yesavage, has been one of the biggest stories of the entire postseason.Pitching 5.1 no-hit innings and earning a franchise-record 11 strikeouts in a postseason game, Yesavage put up a performance few Blue Jays fans would ever forget.But as much fun as his Game 2 performance in a win over the New York Yankees was for Blue Jays fans, it's hopefully one that the youngster will be able to build off of. After all, you don't win a World Series with just one good performance, but ideally a few strung together over the course of several playoff rounds.And in a sport where it's as much about your next game as the last one, fans are already wondering when they'll get to see their new star again.When can Yesavage pitch next for the Blue Jays?Although his first playoff game was historic, Yesavage has actual...

3 d. ago MLB legend David Ortiz eviscerates Yankees after Toronto Blue Jays slugfest

David Ortiz might not exactly be the biggest fan of the Toronto Blue Jays, but there's no doubt who he's cheering for in the American League Wild Card Series.Ortiz, a 10-time All-Star during his 14 seasons with the Boston Red Sox, seemed to be taking quite the pleasure in seeing the Blue Jays demolish the New York Yankees during their first two playoff games.While Toronto still needs to win one more game to advance to the American League Championship Series, they've certainly looked the part in their first two games. Scoring 23 runs over two days, Ortiz was in full-on trolling mode over his hated Yankees rivals."They can bring Jesus back, and they're still going to go to Cancun," Ortiz said on Fox's postgame show. "It's over. It's a wrap, just so you know. This Toronto Blue Jays lineup ain't playing around."Ortiz got the ability to chirp a few old rivals in Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez, both of whom were two of the biggest faces ...

5 d. ago Guerrero shows love to Toronto Blue Jays fans after Yankee playoff beatdown

The Toronto Blue Jays hadn't won a playoff game since 2016. That changed in emphatic fashion on Saturday at Rogers Centre.Toronto jumped out to an early 2-0 lead over the New York Yankees thanks to home runs from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Alejandro Kirk. They ended the contest with a commanding 10-1 win.There was a bit of drama for the Jays in the sixth inning, as New York loaded the bases with Aaron Judge at the plate when the score was 2-1. However, Kevin Gausman struck him out, and the Jays escaped the inning, only allowing one run.Blue Jays batters took over in the seventh and eighth innings, pounding in eight more runs en route to the victory.This win was a long time coming for this Blue Jays core, and specifically, Guerrero."Every time we come here, we do it for the fans," Guerrero told Sportsnet's Hazel Mae after the game."My first homer here at home, that feels amazing."The Montreal-born slugger got the party started during his first at-bat, smash...

7 d. ago Who decides if Rogers Centre roof opens for Toronto Blue Jays playoff games?

When the Toronto Blue Jays take to the field this Saturday for their first game of the playoffs, you can bet that it'll be quite the pop coming from the local crowd.It's been three years since the last time Toronto hosted a playoff game, and fans are eagerly anticipating how the American League East champions might fare this fall.But one of the biggest questions on everyone's minds is: will the game be played indoors or outdoors?The seven-day forecast from the Weather Network shows temperatures as high as 24°C on Saturday afternoon, which would conceivably be warm enough for an open roof for Toronto's first playoff game.But at the Rogers Centre, indoor playoff games have been the standard since its opening as the SkyDome way back in 1989. And while a fair-weather outdoor baseball game is one of the best ways to watch any sport, it's not usually the case come October in Toronto.The Jays have hosted just five outdoor playoff home games in their history: four in...

1 week ago Fans will love who's calling Toronto Blue Jays playoff games on TV this year

Toronto Blue Jays fans will be hearing familiar voices on the Sportsnet broadcast throughout the playoffs.The Blue Jays won their first division title since 2015 on Sunday, and will advance straight to the ALDS, where they'll await the winner of a Wild-Card series between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees.Once the ALDS gets underway, the usual broadcast crew of Dan Shulman, Buck Martinez, and Hazel Mae will call the Blue Jays games and will continue to do so for as long as they remain in the playoffs.Shulman confirmed the news via social media on Sunday. That's good news for Blue Jays fans, who were largely frustrated this past Friday when a pivotal game aired exclusively on Apple TV. Shulman, Martinez, and Mae weren't featured on that broadcast. Sportsnet hasn't always had their own broadcasters calling postseason games.
