The Toronto Blue Jays got off to a rough start to the ALCS against the Seattle Mariners and MLB insider Buster Olney believes it is up to one player to turn all of this around.
With how dynamic the Blue Jays offence is , all it takes is one spark and the Blue Jays could be rolling again.
The Toronto Blue Jays still have a fighting chance against the Seattle Mariners in the ALCS.
The TSN staff tried to reassure everyone by claiming not all hope is lost for the Toronto Blue Jays, a slow start in a series doesn't mean it's already over, and with how much adversity this team has gone through this season, a comeback is in the cards.
"After the offence pummeled New York Yankees pitching in the AL Division Series to the tune of 50 hits and 34 runs scored over four games, the Blue Jays have mustered just eight hits and four runs scored over the first two games of the ALCS."-TSN
ESPN's Buster Olney explained that a lot relies on the performance of Vladimir Guerrero Jr., if he doesn't perform neither will the Blue Jays so they will need him to step up if they have any chance of turning this series around.
"«The reason why we gave Vladdy so much credit in the Yankees series is it does feel like 'as Vlad goes, so go the Blue Jays. If the big dog doesn't hit, that's going to be an issue. I'm sure Vladdy knows that and embraces that. I saw an interview at his [locker] and you could see it on his face - he was wearing it, the fact that they're down 2-0 after playing in front of their home crowd."-Olney
The Blue Jays will be facing a very unpredictable George Kirby in game 3 against the Mariners which is where they will have a chance to get back in the series, as he can very easily deliver a bad performance.
The Toronto Blue Jays will also need to step up their pitching game along with some questionable decisions from John Schneider.
Game 3 takes place Wednesday night and it might be the last chance for the Blue Jays to get back in the series.
