What a Team

BRONX — There was no Aaron Judge magic this time around. No five-run comeback either.

Yankee Stadium was quiet on Wednesday with so little for the home fans to cheer about.

The Toronto Blue Jays set the early tone in Game 4 and didn't let up in a 5-2 victory that sealed the American League Division Series in four games and ended New York's season.
 
The Blue Jays, in four playoff games, have scored 34 points. No club has done better since the start of the playoffs – even those who have played seven games so far.

In four games, that’s a historic mark overall.

Nobody has nine home runs since the start of the playoffs either. No club that has played four games has fewer than the Blue Jays’ 24 strikeouts offensively – no one has fewer than 20 in three games, in fact.

A collective batting line of .338/.373/.601 for the club: nobody comes close to that.

I could go on and on like this, but my point is this: all 12 hitters used by the club (Tyler Heineman didn’t play, himself) got their hands dirty.
 
I'm a Dodgers fan, but PLEASE let Canadian teams win everything this year. I want the Blue Jays to take the World Series, the Raptors to take the NBA title, and any one of the hockey teams to walk away with the NHL crown.
