The Toronto Blue Jays have no room for error going back to Toronto for game 6 and hopefully game 7 of the ALCS against the Seattle Mariners, it will be the biggest for the Blue Jays in three decades, as two good games can get them into the World Series, but one mistake could cost them everything.
Blue Jays cannot waste the opportunity they've found themselves in.
Gregory Strong of the Canadian Press breaks down the urgency the Blue Jays need to have, there is no more room for error, it ultimately starts with John Schneider's poor decision making, but everyone on the roster has more to give, and they will have to give it for two games.
"A bullpen meltdown proved costly for the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday night. The good news for Canada's lone big-league team is the trip to Seattle was still a success. Eugenio Suarez hit a tiebreaking grand slam in the eighth inning to power the Mariners to a 6-2 victory in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series."-Strong
The bullpen meltdown started with Schneider putting in Brendon Little, who has struggled a lot as of late, and the moment was simply too big for him, essentially setting up the Suarez home run.
"Toronto scratched out runs in the fifth and sixth innings for a 2-1 lead but reliever Brendon Little struggled in the eighth. He gave up a game-tying solo shot to slugger Cal Raleigh before issuing back-to-back walks. Reliever Seranthony Dominguez came on and hit Randy Arozarena with a pitch before Suarez sent the sellout crowd at T-Mobile Park into hysterics with his 351-foot blast."-Strong
The Blue Jays will be starting phenom Trey Yesavage in the biggest game of the season, and the biggest game in 30 seasons in actuality. Hopefully the young star has one more historical performance in him to get the Blue Jays to game 7.
