The Jays are just three games under .500. They are also just a game back of the Rays for fourth and three games back of the Red Sox for third.
So the question is: Is this important to you? Would you like them to finish above .500? Would you like them to finish third? Or is tanking more important to you? Yeah, it is a lottery now, but the lower-placing teams have better odds.
Of course, we could also run the table and squeak into a playoff spot.
The Jays are on a five- or six-game win streak, depending on how important linear time is to you. I watch Loki, and I don’t understand any of it. But the young guys are playing well. Springer is playing like Springer again. Vlad feels like he is the greatest player in baseball. I don’t want to tell him different.
And the starting pitching has been nothing short of terrific.
It has me thinking next year will be better.
Vlad is just a big kid:

I’m not sure if this is fun, or just silly, but I like to see them have fun:
