Jays need to learn how to run bases. Their weakness in that discipline cost them many runs throughout the series, especially when IKF stood on the 3B bag instead of leading off and then SLID into a no-slide situation. Oh well, live and hopefully learn.
Jays went 3 for 17 with runners in scoring position and left 14 on base. Varsho did nothing in the last 2 games (think of the opportunities he had). Our trusted pitchers: Bassitt, Yesavage, Hoffman and Bieber gave up homers with poor pitches. You can't win a game 7 that way! Heart broken-stunned - disbelief.
I need an outlet so apologies for rambling. I might eventually require some therapy. I suppose I could always watch the Expos Netflix documentary again to make myself feel better, but this is just hard to process.
I was there for Game 7 in 1985 against the Royals, sitting down the right field line, and that was hard to take. But we'd only been around for 8 years at that point. Then 1987 left me catatonic for a long time, but 92 and 93 washed that away. 2015 had second and third with no out (sound familiar) and hurt a lot as well....can't remember how I got over that. 2016 against Cleveland was just disappointing.
But this year...given how close we were, this is going to bite until they actually win a World Series to wash away the angst...and that is not going to be easy to do. Nope...this was our moment and should have been a victory.
Were you not entertained?

I am heartbroken. I didn't think I would be, but I am.

QO not an option for Beiber as he was traded mid-season.
Good catch.
