What happened in the recent Yankees series against the Jays?
Whole heck of a lot going on in sports this weekend. If you are a baseball team that is trying to find their gear and get it going, this was kind of your last gasp of no eyes on you. There was the World Cup and the World Cup in town. There were the NBA finals. There were. The Stanley Cup finals, there was a couple of bangers in the UFC, although some obvious weirdness around that whole thing. A lot going on in the sports world. So if you drop two of three to a team that you consider your rival, that doesn't seem to consider you quite the same just yet, maybe that went under the radar a little bit for the Everyone other than the 120,000 plus who were at those games. The Blue Jays won't feel any kind of relief that it was all lies elsewhere in the sports world.
But now is kind of the time. You kind of have to stick around the playoff picture and survive through all these injuries and things like that. And then it's all eyes on you now in the city. Obviously, the World Cup is still going on. There are a couple more games here and things like that. Canada, obviously, still involved.
How did Kevin Gausman's performance impact the Jays' outlook?
But... No more hockey, no more basketball. All eyes on the Blue Jays from here. So they drop two or three against the Yankees, and they enter this week with an off day today, and then tomorrow begins 16 games in 16 days, starting with a series in Boston, and where, by the way, the Tartan Army had some real fun this weekend. These Scottish fans who are in... that area right now for the World Cup. But the Jays dropped two or three. They are four games under 500 now. They are 10 back of the Yankees who move into first place. They're a game and a half back of the wild card. To the extent that stuff matters to you on June 15th, probably the most important thing is that the Jays are still proximal to a playoff spot.
But that series could have gone much differently. They lost 3-1 on Saturday despite being tied heading into the ninth. They lost 8-3 on Sunday despite being tied heading into the later innings there. They won Friday. That was a fun one. But two winnable games Saturday, Sunday that they didn't come up with. A couple more injuries to add to the ledger. A couple more returns to add to the ledger potentially this week. And one small note.
What are the latest updates on player injuries for the Jays?
on the other sports before we dive into the baseball as the Carolina Hurricanes won the Stanley Cup and proof that the khakis can get it done. That is a front office full of people that I was blogging with 12 years ago on the hockey side. So congratulations to them. And yes, the khakis can get it done. Jays did not get it done. They dropped two of three. Let's talk to Shai Davidi, MLB insider at Sportsnet about it. Shai, good morning. How are we doing? All right, Blake. How are you? I'm pretty good. Is that an old school Mighty Ducks of Anaheim hat?
No, that is a Avenue Road Ducks hat. Ah, very good. Even better. That's it. That's it. I just rep my son's teams now.
How is Shane Bieber's return being handled by the Jays?
Hey, that's a good way to do it. If you're going to buy any kind of hat, wear any kind of hat, that's the way to do it. We can't all be Jamie Campbell where every team across Canada sends you their gear, right? Shy, tough weekend for the Jays to drop those two. Saw Louis Varland and Braden Fisher both get touched up in the later innings there. is there anything like what's kind of front of mind for you as the Jays let to get away there? Obviously the bullpen had blips, but they could have been ahead in both of those games pretty safely as well.
Yeah. So a few recurring things, right? One of them is hitting with runners and scoring position. It was one for 10 on Saturday, two for nine on Sunday. And, you know, just as a point, John Schneider has made great, dozens of times this year feels like. If you're not going to get a bunch of hits with runners in scoring position, then you've got to hit some home runs and do some damage. And the Blue Jays got a solo shot yesterday from Davis Schneider, but the slug, especially the slug with runners in scoring position, continues to be hit and miss for them. So I think that's one of them.
