Interesting to consider that #MLB 2025 post season teams Cincinnati, Detroit, Cleveland, Boston, Seattle and Milwaukee all had an opportunity to draft Trey Yesavage before the #BlueJays.

The #BlueJays aren’t done yet. Game 6 is more than a must win. It will be a bold statement of what makes this team dangerous. Belief fuels them. Pressure reveals the 💪Yesavage is the pitcher ready to meet the moment. Must watch 📺⚾️ #ALCS

Love the pod! Great defense of Brendan Little, his regular-season numbers show his value. One stat often missed: his 5 wins. Every one mattered in keeping the Jays on top of the AL East and clinching that bye and home-field edge.

No team rallies like the #BlueJays with their backs against the wall. #Mariners aren’t facing the squad from Games 1 & 2. Rogers Centre will bring playoff energy & fans know their assignment. Ready for a huge #ALCS win tonight!
💪⚾️🍁

Being back in Toronto will be a salve. For the team, and the traveling media alike. For myself, weary but hopeful. #BlueJays

Todd From Minneapolis @toddfrommpls.bsky.social · 1d

I doubt they were thinking “let’s bring Little in to piss off all the fans while he eff’s up the game.”

Big fan of John Schneider, but this move? Yikes. Maybe Hoffman blows it too as baseball’s a cruel game. Let’s hope the baseball gods shine down on us Sunday. #BlueJays #ALCS

Todd From Minneapolis @toddfrommpls.bsky.social · 2d

This is a flight of fancy. Bichette wants to win and Angels are a long way off from that.

Todd From Minneapolis @toddfrommpls.bsky.social · 2d

Life’s all about perspective. Down 0–2, I just wanted the #BlueJays to take 2 of 3. Up a run in the 8th before blowing it was rough, my mind spinning on what could’ve been. Funny how we get what we asked for… and still feel shortchanged. Get ready for Sunday. #ALCS

Todd From Minneapolis @toddfrommpls.bsky.social · 2d

Just like the #Dodgers treat the regular season as extended spring training, #MadMax saved his best for the #ALCS. The #BlueJays are pitching, hitting, and proving; once again, that U.S. media and fans wrote the eulogy way too soon. 💪🍁⚾️

Todd From Minneapolis @toddfrommpls.bsky.social · 3d

#MadMax is must watch TV tonight.

Todd From Minneapolis @toddfrommpls.bsky.social · 3d

Any #Mariners fans or media types ready to sleep on #BlueJays Game 4 pitcher…don’t. Give #MadMax one more shot and this grizzled vet might go full #ALCS hero. With the #HoundDog backing him up, this duo can pull a Moses and keep the seas parted for a series reset.

#CraigCarton tin foil hat conspiracy theory did not age well for #ACLS. More sour grapes by #Yankee affiliated media about #BlueJays who led AL East for 3 months, won the division and thumped in #ALDS. 🍇😱💪🥊

Todd From Minneapolis @toddfrommpls.bsky.social · 3d

If the #BlueJays drag the #ALCS back to the 6ix, all those U.S. media obits sitting in drafts are gonna need a serious rewrite. Premature eulogies age like milk. #NextManUp #MadMax
💪🥊🍁⚾️🧢

Mad Max on the bump for the #BlueJays in Game 4! 🚀 Left off #ALDS roster, he’s got a real chance to walk off the mound tomorrow an #ALCS hero again, maybe the last time in The Show!

Todd From Minneapolis @toddfrommpls.bsky.social · 4d

#BlueJays ain't out 'til the last pitch. Pain's the price of greatness. Stay in the fight, swing ugly, stay hard. Play smart. #ACLS

Barger and Santander are still my picks to spark the #BlueJays in Game 3 of the #ALCS. Time to return to the relentless style that got them here; hungry, aggressive, and ready to flip the series.

@torontobluejays.bsky.social Don’t stop when you’re tired. Stop when you’re done. Judge, Harper & Soto watching on tv: The comfort zone is where dreams go to die. #BlueJays #ACLS 💪⚾️🍁🔥

US media’s got the #BlueJays obituary queued up. We’ll send edits after the win. #ALCS #PlotTwist

Todd From Minneapolis @toddfrommpls.bsky.social · 5d

He may be 41 years old, but this grizzled veteran may just have enough in the tank to shove. #BlueJays team & fans need him to be Mad Max on Thursday.

#BlueJays could use a little bat-flipping magic Wednesday. Time to summon Jobu, take fear from bats.

@wilnerness.bsky.social Mike, your latest Deep Left Field had me cracking up, that deep breathing meditation after Nick’s comment? Absolutely lost it. 😂

Todd From Minneapolis @toddfrommpls.bsky.social · 5d

The playoff pods are great, keep em coming!

You remind the fans that baseball doesn’t care how talented you are. It’s relentlessly coming for your focus, your confidence, and your ability to respond to adversity. The #BlueJays are still in it.

Todd From Minneapolis @toddfrommpls.bsky.social · 5d

The 2025 #BlueJays need to dig deep and channel that 2015 fire. Time for the grit, the swagger, and the “we’re not done yet” energy. Lukes & Clement have played through pain, now the whole squad needs that same heartbeat on Wednesday. 💪💙 #NextManUp

Todd From Minneapolis @toddfrommpls.bsky.social · 5d

The #BlueJays just have to win a series in Seattle which starts with game 3. If they can get back to their roots, these guys can do it. 💪🍁

Todd From Minneapolis @toddfrommpls.bsky.social · 7d

I had Santander as my breakout #BlueJays player in #ACLS. He’s due for a big hit. Up after Varsho & Clement. 💪
