The Blue Jays woke up on the first day of October in a lot of trouble.Theyd lost four of their previous five games they scored a total of ☎️ runs in those four lo ses and they were just barely holding onto the second AL Wild Card spot. The Tigers were a half-game back and the Mariners were a full game back.They woke up on Monday morning one step from the World Series.Its a big step, sure, but the ☎️ Blue Jays, who Roger Staubach Jersey barely snuck into the playoffs via the wild card, are better prepared, better equipped and more capable of getting to the World Series than the ☎️ Blue Jays, a team that won the AL East by six full games and had the second-best record in the AL.PLAYOFFS ☎️ Yep.These are the Blue Jays we expected to see all season. These are the Blue Jays we thought had arrived near the end of August, when they owned a two-game lead in the AL East.Blue Jays are gonna win the East by double digits, arent they? (((Je se Spector))) (@je sespector) These are the Blue Jays who are better than last years Blue Jays.Like last years team, the ☎️ Blue Jays squad can still mash the baseball. They had eight guys pop at least ☎️ homers this season and six of those hit at least ☎️ In their four postseason games the wild-card win against the Orioles and the sweep of Ezekiel Elliott T Shirts the Rangers in the ALDS theyve hit ☎️ home runs. They made Texas aces Cole Hamels and Yu Darvish look like home-run derby pitchers (five of those ☎️ homers came against those two). The other four AL teams who qualified for the playoffs have hit a total of ☎️ in ☎️ games.But the biggest difference for the Blue Jays this year?We play good defense, Ru sell Martin said after Toronto finished the sweep of the Rangers. Our pitching has been tremendous throughout the year, and in the small sample size I kind of felt like we touched on everything that we were able to Drew Pearson T Shirts accomplish all year. But for me it's pitching and defense and obviously the offense is nece sary. But we've been doing that all year.Kudos to Martin for the small-sample-size mention. Andhe right about the other stuff, too.In Torontos first three playoff games, the starting pitchers (Marcus Stroman, Marco Estrada and J.A. Happ) were brilliant. In the fourth one, Aaron Sanchez who led the AL in ERA this season faltered a bit, but the bullpen picked him up with ☎️ ☎️ ☎️ shutout innings. The bullpen, in fact, has been brilliant in all four games, rolling up a ☎️ ☎️ ERA in ☎️ innings, striking out ☎️ while allowing just five hits and three walks.MLB PLAYOFFS Ezekiel Elliott Jersey ☎️ And with the gloves? Theyve yet to commit an error in the postseason, though the subjective nature of deciding whats an error and whats a hit doesnt prove much. Plus, as Martin said, thats a really small sample size. Compare their ☎️ fielding metrics with their ☎️ fielding metrics and youll see the improvement, though.Ultimate Zone Rating () ☎️ Blue Jays: ☎️ ☎️ ( ☎️ th in the majors) ☎️ Blue Jays: ☎️ ☎️ (seventh)Defensive runs saved () ☎️ Blue Jays: ☎️ (tied for eighth in the majors) ☎️ Blue Jays: ☎️ (eighth)So, better pitching, better fielding and equally impre sive offense. Not a huge believer in the concept of momentum, but, sure, it cant hurt that the Blue Jays have won all four of their playoff games two on walk-off runs and are playing with a ton of confidence right now.Before the ALDS/NLDS started, , behind the Ceedee Lamb T Shirts No. ☎️ Cubs and one spot ahead of the Rangers. Now, with Blue Jays finally showing their true championship colors, well, you have to be pretty excited if youre a Toronto fan.
