Blue Jays offense following George Springer's leadoff homer:

1-28

Not the outcome to the game I was expecting after George Springer’s first-pitch leadoff home run.

Everyone is talking about butt plug shirt guy, but don’t sleep on the super jacked dude behind him

“They are highly organized … [they] have purchased their own animal costumes”

After the year he had for the Mariners in 2024, it rules that Jorge Polanco has made himself a fan favorite in Seattle this season.

Cal Raleigh ties the game with a 420 ft HR

62 combined home runs between the regular season and postseason for Cal Raleigh.

Seems good.

Victor Robles was apparently still looking at his alignment card and misplayed the ball

George Springer, on the first damn pitch the #BlueJays see in the ALCS:

Hell of a start to this series for George Springer.

The Ducks and Sharks are playing an absolutely chaotic game in San Jose tonight.

Brewers-Dodgers
Blue Jays-Mariners

This is good stuff. Lotta intriguing storylines involved.

The Brewers beat the Cubs and are headed for a matchup in the NLCS with the Dodgers.

Milwaukee and Los Angeles last faced off in NLCS in 2018, when the Dodgers won in seven games.

Brice Turang pads the Brewers lead in the seventh inning with a solo home run.

He has been so so good this season.

Amazing work (and energy) from Chad Patrick to get out of that jam.

This story is awesome. Long live Humpy the Salmon.

Fastest pitches hit for a home run in the postseason in the pitch-tracking era (since 2008):

Seiya Suzuki (CHC), 101.4 mph, 2025 NLDS GM 5 at MIL
Jackson Chourio (MIL), 101.4 mph, 2025 NLDS GM 2 vs. CHC

So, it's shaping up to be another hectic game, huh?

Seiya Suzuki immediately responds with a solo homer against a 101.4 mph fastball from Jacob Misiorowski.

Boom. William Contreras and the Brewers strike first.

Trevor Megill strikes out Kyle Tucker on a 98.9 mph heater to finish a 1-2-3 first inning and he's pumped up.

The Brewers and Cubs have the chance to do the funniest thing (play another extra-innings winner-take-all game).

In my latest for mlb dot com, I looked at Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s red-hot ALDS and some signs that show why he’s locked in at the optimal time for the Blue Jays.

Tarik Skubal's 13-strikeout performance last night was the 25th 13+ strikeout game by a pitcher in postseason history.

Clubs are 19-6 in games started by those pitchers. The last two losses belong to the Tigers:

Tarik Skubal (13 K), 2025 ALDS GM 5 at SEA
Max Scherzer (13 K), 2013 ALCS GM 2 at BOS
