Honestly our jays played mistake free defense for 6 hours and 39 minutes . ( The 18th inning game 3 )
They were sharp mentally, they didn’t show signs of mental or physical fatigue, they executed plays perfectly under pressure. They weren’t sloppy.
On offense it was another matter. If they could have gotten some hits and had better/smarter/faster base running we would have scored runs and won the game.
People think the jays heavily deserved to lose last night. Of course no team who is Stranding that many base runners and being so garbage with RISP will have serious chances to win games. Eventually any team will be punished for not seizing the moment and capitalizing on their opportunities
both teams were one swing away from winning the game, but the dodgers got it. both teams stranded small villages and ran into outs on the bases. That is how you end up at 18 innings. They got the one clutch swing at and we didn't.
They played gritty and held on for 18th innings despite their offensive struggles and their own John Schneider’s decisions with the roster and bullpen.
Anyway, On to game 4. We can still win this series.

Santander is done for the season, he hasn’t played since game 5 of the ALCS because of back pain and shoulder injuries . That’s why he wasn’t included in the official world series roster anyway, and if he was even healthy enough to Play, he would only be used as a switch hitter bench bat designated hitter/ pinch hitter. He would not have played in the outfield at all . He’s better with the bat than with the glove anyway.
Waiting for news to confirm it, but I believe Springer might be out and done for the season. He was Half functional and playing at 50% capacity already . His knee is still hurting. He can’t play in the outfield anymore, defensive duties are too physically exhausting and demanding for him at his age. So he can only be useful and dangerous at the plate and on the bases. We need his ability to hit for power and contact, draw walks and get on bases.
Bichette playing at 50% capacity. He’s obviously Still recovering from his knee injury. His mobility and ability to make turns and make defensive plays on the infield is still very limited. At best he can only be useful as a pinch hitter, designated hitter or bench right handed bat. He can only halfway contribute on the offensive side of the game- I mean, he can swing and hit but he can’t run the bases like he used to. He needs a pinch runner to run the bases for him.
4 Tiers of hitters in the blue jays betting lineup right now without springer, bichette and Santander
Tier 1: Kirk, vladdy, varsho.
Tier 2: Clement, Barger
Tier 3: Gimenez , IKF, Davis Schneider, Lukes
Tier4: Ty France, Tyler Heineman, Myles straw
