TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays The team has already purchased their postseason tickets, but they have yet to take the field. So the celebration will continue until Friday night.
A night earlier, the Blue Jays secured an AL wild card spot. Baltimore lost 5-3 at Boston.
John Schneider, interim manager of Toronto hosted Boston joked Friday that it was “easy”. It was a bit strange. It takes about three hours to become a Boston Red Sox sane fan, and then it’s time to turn it off. It’s definitely different, but the most important thing is doing it.
Schneider indicated that the Blue Jays intend to celebrate together in the clubhouse following their game against the Red Sox.
Blue Jays shortstop: “We expect more but we certainly need to enjoy it.” Bo Bichette said.
Schneider began by watching the Orioles game on television, but he became irritated in the final innings and decided to go for a walk. When his wife and sons called from Florida, Schneider was out walking. Jess, his wife, provided play-by–play via FaceTime.
Schneider stated that Schneider was “pretty much spot on”. Schneider said, “She knew that.” Cedric Mullins The shift was a success.
Outfielder George Springer While he was playing with his son for most of Thursday, he stayed on the computer to catch the Orioles’ final game.
He described the experience as “weird, yet awesome.” It allows you to relax a bit. You might prefer to do it in a different manner, but that’s not the point. It’s great to be able to say that we are going to the playoffs, no matter what.
Springer has previous experience in clinching at the ballpark. Springer and the Houston Astros Oakland lost to Seattle just hours after beating Toronto’s Blue Jays in Toronto. This was the AL West.
Springer stated that it was three in the morning. Springer stated, “The entire team was asleep.”
Blue Jays made it to the playoffs in 2020’s 60-game pandemic, but there weren’t many fans watching when they beat them. New York Yankees Buffalo, New York is home to Toronto’s Triple-A team.
Toronto divided its 2021 season among three locations: Dunedin, Florida’s spring training stadium, Buffalo, and Toronto.
On Friday, Rogers Centre was expecting a crowd of around 45,000 people.
Bichette stated, “It’s certainly different doing it infront of the fans and having the fans through an entire year with us here at The Park.” “Definitely looking forward to having fun with them and hopefully finishing strong so we can play in their front.”
Toronto (87-69), has six remaining games, three against Baltimore and three against the Red Sox. The wild-card race is led by the Blue Jays, ahead of Seattle (85–70) and Tampa Bay (85–71). The wild-card playoff round will be hosted by the team finishing on top of the standings.
Schneider said, “We have all the right things in front of our eyes, so we don’t have to stop working.”
The Blue Jays finished last season at 91-71, but were one game away from a playoff spot. This year’s clinch is even more satisfying.
Springer said, “It proves that all of the hard work and all the extra attention to small things, it worked.” Although there is still much to do, it’s something we can be proud of and remind ourselves that we have achieved our goal to reach the postseason.
