Still only 4 games out of WC spot as of this morning.

September is when we can make ground and find out what this team is really made of.
We have:

3 games vs A's (home)
4 games vs Yankees (away)
3 games vs Rays (home)
3 games vs Rays (away)
3 games vs Yankees (home)
We also still have a ton of games against Baltimore.

I didn't know how to access that option in the Firestick. I tried pushing the menu/options button but it was unresponsive.
It's not intuitive at all. I was going to post instructions as well but got tied up. I use a Firestick on one tv, have android tv on another. It's accessed on the YouTube player itself. Don't know if there's another way to get to it but when you click a directional button, the menu of settings pops up above the time/progress bar. The audio selection option was embedded in there (the rightmost one where you even had to click on the "..." to display more options).

As far as I could tell, they used the 590 The Fan radio broadcast (didn't turn the radio on to check) for the "away" feed. While they didn't comment on replays and graphics/stats that were put up, you could tell they were calling the game according to what you were seeing live.

I don't believe there's any more Jays games on YouTube this season but maybe this will help for next year.

A few seasons ago Hand was lights out. Struck out everything in sight. But he's lost at least 5 miles off his fastball and it's been hugely impactful. But they won't DFA him because he's a lefty and has pedigree. No tears shed for Dolis though.

So, now they have 43 games left and have to win at least 28 of them to have a fair chance...

With all the help they got, relief pitching still the issue...

Baseball can be very cruel... and we fans, in Toronto, have a lot of experience with that... but miracles can happen... can't they?

I believe that they've lost 12 or 13 games in which they were leading in the 7th or later. If they win half of those they'd be Wild Card.

And seeing as they were winning so late in those games, by all rights, they should have won more than half. If they won 9 out of those 13 where they were ahead, they'd be a half game behind Tampa. Where are Ward and Henke when you need them?

True, but it just seems like they've given away so many opportunities and things are unravelling. It's not a good feeling/vibe.

With the loss of Springer, Vlad seemingly out of gas, and Stippling on the IL, it just seems like "boys, your gonna have to wait until next year". Just of those things it just seems like its not their year, the next 5 should be a different story.

So much for home field advantage with the new runner on 2nd base rule

They blew the game in the 3rd and 4th innings. 1st and 2nd, no outs, zero RBI. 2nd and 3rd, 1 out, zero RBI. 8th inning, 1st and 2nd, no out, zero RBI.

They should never have got to extra innings.

The Jays’ bullpen is simply not good enough to fight past the teams that are ahead of them.

Also…I have had enough of Alejandro Kirk. He was excoriated during last night’s broadcast for his one knee stance; he cost the Jays that game.

Actually, they criticized all the catchers around the league that are doing it. There are lots of them, not just Kirk. For a catcher he has an above average bat.

Kirk didn't lose the game, It was the batter's that could not cash in the RISP.
Even though they won, today was not exactly a tour de force. The bats are still mediocre.

He'll probably be the 2nd coming of Cy Young today.

Another tough loss for your Jays. Honestly feel bad for you guys.

Seems like every game there's something that derails them.

Bad throw from Semien but as was said by the crew afterwards Vlad wasn't in the best position to field the throw as well.
