Bonus video: Pre-game set up during batting practice

2025/10/19

Before Game 6 of the ALCS in Toronto, where the Blue Jays look to stave off elimination and force Game 7 Monday night, Mike Wilner was on the field during Blue Jays batting practice to break down the stakes of this game (spoiler: the Jays need to win).

Guest: Blue Jays closer Jeff Hoffman For the first time this year, the Blue Jays will take the field knowing that if they lose, their season is over. The Jays dug themselves a huge hole by losing the first two games of the American League championship series at home against the Seattle Mariners, but they went up to the Pacific Northwest and evened up the series before their gut-wrenching loss in Game 5. In today's playoff bonus episode of Deep Left Field, Jays' closer Jeff Hoffman joins us to

Guest: Ernie Clement That was a tough loss. The Jays did what they needed to do in Seattle by winning two out of three to ensure they come back to Toronto with a chance to advance to the World Series (where the winner of the ALCS will face the Dodgers, who beat the Brewers Friday night). But the Jays will have to win both Game 6 on Sunday and Game 7 on Monday. It felt like the Blue Jays were on the cusp of winning this one but in the bottom of the 8th inning, up 2-1, John Schneider went to Brendon

Guest: Blue Jays outfielder Myles Straw Game Four of the American League championship series is going to go down in Blue Jays history because of one singular moment – John Schneider's mound visit in the fifth inning in which Max Scherzer basically barked his manager off the mound. In this playoff bonus episode of Deep Left Field, we'll break down that "conversation" for you, and hear from both Scherzer and Schneider, as well as a couple of innocent bystanders. Outside of that moment, the win

Guest: Blue Jays Offensive Player George Springer SEATTLE - The Blue Jays pulled themselves back from the brink and Deep Left Field is here at T-Mobile Park in Seattle to tell you all about it. After looking sluggish, to put it mildly, in the first two games of this American League Championship Series, the Jays flew north and west and found their offence somewhere along the way. They managed just one hit from the third inning on over Games 1 and 2 and had 17 after the second inning in Game 3.

Guest: Blue Jays outfielder Nathan Lukes All appears to be pretty bleak in Blue Jays land as they head north and west to Seattle trailing the best-of-seven American League Championship Series two games to none. The complete offensive collapse against the Mariners was wholly unexpected, especially given that the Jays had scored 34 runs over their four-game ALDS win against the New York Yankees and Seattle seemed ripe for the picking, coming off an exhausting and emotional 15-inning

Guest: Blue Jays reliever Mason Fluharty The first ALCS to open up in Toronto since 1992 began the same way the last one did - with a Blue Jays loss. The Jays got a leadoff home run from George Springer and then just one more hit the rest of the night and fell to the travel- and extra-inning-weary Seattle Mariners 3-1. Mason Fluharty got two huge outs in the top of the eighth, striking out Josh Naylor and Eugenio Suarez to escape Seranthony Dominguez’ jam and give the bats a chance to come back

The Seattle Mariners beat the Detroit Tigers 3-2 in the decisive Game 5 of their American League Division Series, but it took them an all-time record (for a winner-take-all game) 15 innings to do it, which is certainly good news for the

The Blue Jays are going to the American League Championship Series! The Jays shrugged off their ugly loss to the New York Yankees in Tuesday's Game 3 and did all the things that got them to this point on Wednesday - great defence, timely hitting, making their opponents pay for mistakes - and combined that with an outstanding performance from eight relievers to knock the Yankees out of the post-season, guaranteeing that they won't defend their American League pennant. Of the four teams that went

No team had ever scored 23 runs in the first two games of a post-season until the Jays did it in taking a two games to none stranglehold on their best-of-five American League Division Series with the New York Yankees. No pitcher had ever struck out 11 batters while allowing no hits over the first

On this playoff bonus episode of Deep Left Field, we go over the Blue Jays’ blowout of the New York Yankees in Game 1 of their ALDS on Saturday, the Jays’ first post-season win in nine years and one that snapped a seven-game playoff losing streak. Many demons were slayed, especially by Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who doubled his career playoff hit total and tripled his career playoff RBI total in a game that also included his first-ever post-season home run. Also, we open up the mailbag to talk playoff
