The 2025 Toronto Blue Jays
- Thread starter Toronto Passions
- Start date
No doubt. Been following baseball since, well, the Dodgers were still on their last legs in Brooklyn. Toddler me, a nascent 1960s contrarian, knew enough to choose them as my team as my parents were NY Giants fans. Dropped the Dodgers for the Mets by 1968, after most of the Brooklyn remnants retired or were traded. So have seen a lot of WS. Of course, 1960, 1962 (McCovey's 7th game-ending screamer to a leaping Richardson), 1964 (bye-bye effin' Yankees), 1965 (Dodgers comeback from two-game hole), 1967, 1968, 1969, 1973, 1975 (Fisk vs. Big Reds), and so on and so on, were all fantastic. This one was right up there if not near the top. No other series I can recall showcased athleticism on both sides of the ball quite like this one. If the Jays' mission was to reinvent baseball, well then they and their co-conspirators the Dodgers did just that.
They fucking choked 
just like the 2015 team did. Maybe don't set up a night club for irrelevant wins if you're gonna lose your last game.
Pitchers gave up bombs
like they did all year. Vladdy couldn't get the 5th run in when they needed it. Jays hit near .300 and Dodgers hit .200 and you think this was a fucking success? Lose 2 fucking games at home.

I normally don't put anyone on block or ignore anywhere, phone or online, but Birf could be the exception. lol
Yeah the Vladdy walk was wild. So many little things that could have been actual game changers when you look at it.
People saying game 6 was there but given to LA, now I can't remember a thing about it. lol
Then there's this Clement slide

The role of the base coach is to communicate with the runners...there was some serious miscommunication out there that needs to be addressed in the off season!!
I think you're right.
I forgot which play it was near the end, but the 3rd base coach looked like he was celebrating and communicating, but the celebrating really took over. lol
I think another player on the field was directing what to do, kinda wild.

3b coach looked like he was doing the chicken dance at 1 point
lmao, yeah that's the one I remember, he definitely got lost in the moment.
None of the Dodgers were hitting the whole series the way they should've been. I don't believe the best team won. Going into the series I thought the Dodgers would be a lot tougher, especially with the bats.
I feel so bad for him because he had some great outings this post season, but it looks like the worst fear came true. Jeff Hoffman blows a save in the ninth. and he could not have picked a worse time to do it.
I hope they re-sign Bo Bichette, Max Scherzer and Chris Bassitt. I hope they keep this group together as best as they can… I feel like this same group can do one more run like this. Maybe just add a real closer.
lots to feel good about for next year. Addison Barger and a healthy Santander could be pretty damn good.

Anticlimactic last 2 games. The offence went cold.
In Game 7, Vladdy, Varsho and Lukes all posted 0-fers. And the Jays just hit 1 HR.
If your power hitting game just went south and 3 of your BO can't make solid contact, you're going to struggle offensively. The Jays of 3 weeks ago would have put 10 runs on the board last night.
Pitching was adequate. Defence was brilliant. They just needed to score more runs in games 6 and 7.

I think Scherzer's too old. And - this is the sad part - the 2025 team had some very special intangible chemistry. Not sure we get that back next year.
He will be 42 next year. But he still throws 96 miles an hour and he's a great mentor to have around.I think Scherzer's too old. And - this is the sad part - the 2025 team had some very special intangible chemistry. Not sure we get that back next year.

I'm crushed. Should not invest so much in a sports team.
They should also sign Yesavage for a long contract.
I think he only has this 1 year contract.
There may be a lockout in 2027. The Owners want a hard salary cap so the Dodgers and Yankees can't buy the best players anymore.
If they don't, the Dodgers will pounce on him.
