Game 3 for the Toronto Blue Jays needs to be nothing less than perfect if they are to comeback down 2-0 to the Seattle Mariners in the ALCS, their recent blowout loss in game 2 needs to be a wake up call that it's now or never.
From pitching, to hitting, to even bad decisions from manager John Schneider , everything needs to get better and fast if they are to climb back in the series.
Nothing less than perfection will do for Toronto Blue Jays in the ALCS.
Shi Davidi of Sportsnet reports that the Blue Jays cannot afford anymore mistakes for the rest of the ALCS. There is zero margin for error, after losing both games at home.
"The nitpicking over manager John Schneider's in-game moves comes with the territory, but it also overlooks how the Blue Jays couldn't pin down a Seattle offence taking its best damage swings, while their lineup hit a wall against a dominant pitching staff - a bad recipe anytime, but especially in the post-season, when the runway to rally is short."-Davidi
Hitting has always been their strongest weapon for the Blue Jays this season, and it has simply disappeared for two games, whereas in last series it was record breaking. They will need to find that groove again and get out to an early lead in game 3, and that starts with Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
"For an offence that managed only eight hits in two games, only one of them coming from the third inning onwards, that was far too much to overcome.
«Obviously we need to get better offensively,» Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who is 0-for-7 with a walk in this series after crushing the Yankees last round, said through interpreter Hector Lebron. «For example, myself, I had big at-bats there and couldn't come through."-Davidi
