I&#8217;ve always been a pessimistic Jays fan. I did not think we were going to do anything. We finished last in the division last year. The (playoff) heartbreak against Minnesota (in 2023), the heartbreak against Seattle (2022). It seemed like everything was falling apart. But man, I&#8217;ll give (general manager) Ross Atkins credit. Small ball and defence. He has been building that for years. And I didn&#8217;t expect it to work. But it just did.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"turnaround-gives-hope\">Turnaround Gives Hope<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This postseason has already marked a few milestones for the team, bringing them their first playoff run since 2023 and the first series they\u2019ve hosted since 2022. Saturday\u2019s <strong>Game 1 win was Toronto\u2019s first postseason victory since 2016<\/strong>, ending nearly a decade of frustration in the playoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The turnaround is quite remarkable, as just last year, the Jays finished 74\u201388 and dead last in the AL East. When they started this season 14\u201316 by the end of April, no one truly had high expectations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the team managed to find its rhythm, closing the year at 94\u201368, clinching its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/news\/toronto-blue-jays-clinch-american-league-east-and-top-seed-with-excellent-finale\">first division title since 2015 and the top seed in the American League<\/a>. A tiebreaker over the Yankees brought the result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kyle Alexee commented,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s been amazing because the last time they were good was 2015. I wasn\u2019t really a big baseball fan at the time, I just recently became a big baseball fan and so it\u2019s really good. I\u2019ve been enjoying it and we like flew here from (Prince Rupert) B.C., so like we travelled across (the) country to come here to see Game 1 and 2 so that was really cool to see.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Summary: The Toronto Blue Jays lost 9\u20136 to the New York Yankees in a frustrating Game 3 of their best-of-five American League Division Series on Tuesday.
