162 games of hard work have paid off. The Blue Jays are in the playoffs, and are looking to blast through the wild card round as they did in 2016. Will Yusei Kikuchi be this year’s Francisco Liriano? Can the Jays lineup push a few runs across the Mariners’ ace?

This is the stuff we live for.

Here are today’s lineups. The Jays looks pretty darn good. Let’s do this.

We are glad you are here and hope you feel welcome. As a reminder, we have rules. Mostly it’s “don’t be terrible,” but these days, it’s also, “please debate about baseball and not the coronavirus or vaccines.” If a moderator asks you to stop doing something, please stop. If you want to discuss the rules, don’t do it in the thread. Email Tom instead, he would love to see an email that isn’t offering him money to promote a sports betting site. We also have a BBB Glossary full of GameThread lingo you can find here. And if the Jays taught us anything on Opening Day, it’s that they’re always still in it (so please, no “Game Over” comments until the game is actually over.)
