One Step Forward, Two Steps Back: Jays Lose Series vs. Yankees
6/14/202639 min
Sho Alli and Nick Ashbourne break down the Blue Jays' 8-3 loss vs. the Yankees to wrap up a series loss in Toronto. They take your calls and texts, and discuss some big picture items for the team; are injuries still a valid excuse for the lack of consistent run production? Has the lack of offence hurt an overworked bullpen? What holes does this team need filled, and are there too many of them to plug in 2026? How important is the coming road trip for this team's direction this season? Plus, they get into some smaller items from this game, including not walking Ben Rice in the ninth inning, the play of Jeff Hoffman, whether or not he balked, and John Schneider's subsequent ejection from the ballgame.

Well, Nick, I guess we could just re-rack Jay's talk from yesterday because I think I'm going to say a lot of the same things. Another extremely disappointing result for the Jays today in a game where it felt like it was, it was right there for so much of this ballgame. Yesterday, a two-run bomb in the top of the ninth that loses it. Today, another two-run bomb in the top of the ninth that is the backbreaker, and then more runs being piled on on top of that. Jays lose 8-3 in the series finale. They lose the series as well. They wrap up a nine-game home stand in which they go 4-5. And after today, they are now 34-38 on the season as a result, none of which are very pretty numbers to say out loud.
