The Jays finished off the "road" portion of their 2020 schedule by breaking off their six-game losing streak. In fact, the whole season has been made of road games, but they went 15-19 when playing in some other team's home field. They will finish the regular season playing four with the Yankees and three with the Orioles in their temporary pandemic home south of the border.
4 vs the Phillies this weekend, including 2 today. Time to buckle down for the stretch drive!
There's gonna be a showdown, in the Bronx, starting tonight.
Because it's 17 games in 17 days to wrap up this very weird season.
Losing two Hall of Famers in the same week is just depressing.

Quick, before the old thread hits 300 comments.
For 2021 the minors will be changed drastically from 2019, and not just due to COVID.

The Blue Jays are rumoured to be in on Mike Clevinger, Lance Lynn, Mike Minor (??), Johnathan Villar, Brian Goodwin and almost every other name on the market.
The Blue Jays have acquired Taijuan Walker from the Seattle Mariners for a player to be named later or cash considerations. The fact it’s a player to be named later means the player may not be in the 60-man player pool.
Back in the misty Days of Yore (it was mid-summer 2006), I published a series of articles on this very website that looked at the all time top 25 in each of five major counting categories. The idea was to assess the chances of some active players of cracking those lists. The categories were: a)
Runs, b)
RBIs, c)
Hits, d)
HRs.
This is so weird. We're one week away from the September stretch run.
Yesterday, Sunday, was the low point for the season so far for the Jays. Bo Bichette could be out for a month and the Jays lost two winnable games with some sloppy play.
The Jays are (back) home for this week, their first home stand of 2020. Two games against the Marlins, another off-day, and three against the Rays make up the week.
Back at it after a COVID enforced break. The Jays are in Atlanta tonight for a three game series. They will end the week with three games in Boston before going home to Buffalo for next week.
