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 ...

7 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...

1 week ago Vladdy shares heartfelt message after Toronto Blue Jays World Series heartbreak

The 2025 Toronto Blue Jays came as close to winning the World Series as you can get without actually winning it. It's a crushing way to lose, which helps explain why players were in tears afterwards. And yet, in the days that have followed, players and their families have been able to contextualize the remarkable run the team went on. On Friday evening, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. took to social media to reflect on a season to remember. The Blue Jays' biggest star is focusing on the steps forward he and his teammates took this season. He said this year changed his life. "2025, I knew you would be special when I knew I would be a Blue Jay forever," Guerrero said in an Instagram post. "I don't even know what to say. A year that changed my life. A year that made me appreciate times that didn't make sense. A year I will frame forever."Vladdy entered the playoffs after a so-so regular season by his high stand...

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle each wore Los Angeles Dodgers gear when they attended Game 4 at Dodger Stadium in L.A.Markle, who is from Los Angeles, can be excused. But Harry?The Duke of Sussex apologized but also had some fun with the question he was asked in a television interview with CTV."Oh, the LA Dodgers hat. Hat gate," Harry said."Well, firstly, I would like to apologize to Canada for wearing it. Secondly, I was under duress. There wasn't much choice."Harry explained that he was invited to the game by the Dodgers owner."I was doing what I thought was the polite thing to do."He also joked that his thinning hairline was a reason for the cap."When you're missing a lot of...

2 w. ago Almost half of Canada tuned into Toronto Blue Jays in Game 7 of the World Series

It's hard to fathom just how much support the Toronto Blue Jays had throughout Canada on their epic World Series run.Streets across the country were filled with fans donning Blue Jays apparel. It was the topic of conversation at restaurants and bars from coast to coast.The anticipation was valid, as this marked the first time the Jays advanced to the World Series since 1993. They came as close as possible to picking up their third championship, before falling to the LA Dodgers in an epic series that went the distance.Given the Blue Jays overcame the odds so often this season, many believed they were a team of destiny. When they flew back to Toronto with a 3-2 series lead, many expected the Commissioner's Trophy would be theirs.The Blue Jays wound up dropping Game 6, making way for an even more highly anticipated Game 7. It was so anticipated, in fact, that it wound up breaking TV records in Canada.An average audience of 10.9 million viewers tuned into Game 7 of the World Ser...

2 w. ago Here are the Toronto Blue Jays' odds of winning the World Series next year

As you probably know by now, the Toronto Blue Jays were inches away from winning the World Series.The old sports adage goes that there's always next year, but diehard sports fans know that's not exactly true.Since 2000, only six teams have lost a World Series and then later went on to win one in the coming years, though often with entirely different rosters. For example, the 2011 and 2012 Texas Rangers lost back-to-back World Series before finally winning the franchise's first title in 2023.Toronto, meanwhile, will be looking to emulate a team like the 2015 Kansas City Royals, who bounced back from a 2014 World Series loss to win it all.For Blue Jays fans, some might be optimistic heading into the 2026 season, even if there's bound to be some roster turnover.But according to oddsmakers at FanDuel, that optimism isn't exactly shared across the board.Toronto's opening odds for winning the 2026 World Series sit at +2000, 10th among all teams across the...

There were several what-if moments for the Blue Jays in Game 7 of the World Series, but none probably came closer than Isiah Kiner-Falefa being thrown out at home plate in the bottom of the ninth inning.Infielder Miguel Rojas, who also hit a game-tying home run in the top of the ninth, threw Kiner-Falefa out on a force play at the plate by a matter of inches after a Daulton Varsho ground ball.If Kiner-Falefa scored on the play, the game would've been over, and the Blue Jays would've won the World Series.IKF's small lead and a lack of a secondary was the difference for Toronto not winning a title. pic.twitter.com/LobrbNSCJa— Chris Kirschner (@ChrisKirschner) November 2, 2025Once the game had come to an end in eleven innings, many were quick to go back to that moment and point out how short of a lead Kiner-Falefa took off third base, and how a longer lead off either initially or once the pitch was thrown likely could've won the Blue Jays the World Series.This is ...

2 w. ago People still think Toronto Blue Jays deserve parade after World Series loss

The Toronto Blue Jays' heartbreaking World Series loss in Game 7 has left much of Canada in a disappointed funk, but a vocal contingent of the team's base is still calling for a parade to celebrate the team's historic playoff run — even if it didn't end the way the country had hoped.Toronto was just two outs away from winning a title, and even after losing a lead in the 9th inning, the Jays were again just inches from a World Series before ultimately falling to the Dodgers 5-4 in the 11th inning.It was about as close as you can get to a championship without actually getting the trophy — an achievement that fans still want recognized.Journalist Steve Paikin is one of the many prominent voices who have suggested a parade be held regardless of the loss. It's an idea that even some Dodger fans are getting behind.Dodger fan, here. I agree.— Dowe Kaufman (@kaufman64982) November 2, 2025One user called on Mayor Chow to organize a parade for the te...
