Wooo Jays win their 9th in a row and are now 12-0 with Tulowitzki in the starting line up.

Jays are peaking too early

Why did the Orioles trade Jake Arrieta? What a world we live in.

Or maybe they are just an awesome team leaving the Mediorioles in their dust

Pre-sale. They are the division leader so it seems somewhat confirmed they will be in the playoffs. Maybe not.

In what world does this make sense? That's lik losing at the right time.

There is most definitely such a thing as peaking too early. The Blue Jays still have 48 games to play.The Os are 4 games back in the division and 2 out in the wild card.

Imagine where they'd be if they had Jake Arietta

Which has what to do with Toronto? There's a never a bad time to win orc win a lot. It's a silly notion.

You know when a good time to win 9 in a row would be? October

When was the last time the Jays played a meaningful game in october?

Back to back hrs for Jones and Davis in back to back games to tie the game in the 8th. Woo

I thinks he's just talking about the peaks and valleys of a 162 game season. They're hitting a peak now so in theory, this is not sustainable. The idea is that they won't play as good as the peak again even if they play better than normal. This occurring outside of the playoffs is where he's going with it.

It's a fun idea to throw around with but I'd bet any supporting evidence is few and far between.

I remember the 2005 White Sox came within a game of blowing a double digit lead in the division. They played like shit all September and then only lost once all post season.

As would I. Winning is winning no matter what. Peaks and valleys aside, there's never a bad time to win.

Lol what does October have to do with right now? Gertner could easily ask you when the last time Baltimore played in or won a world series.

2001 Seattle Mariners won 116 games, didn't mean a fucking thing in October

Hell, the Orioles won 96 last year and it didn't mean a thing

The Orioles are the last hope for a road team winning tonight. Road teams are 0-14 (the Nats are down 5-0)

I don't think 15 home teams have ever won in a single day

If it means so little in October why are you so preoccupied with trying to lessen or make light of what they're doing? If it's so meaningless then why bother to bring it up?

I agree. Blue Jays should have lost 9 in a row instead. They would be a lock for a playoff spot then.

Because they would be due to win 18 games in a row then.

Fun fact: All 15 home teams won last night. First time that's ever happened.

This is also the second time the Jays have won 9 in a row this year.

They were somehow able to recover after peaking in June.

BoSox hire Jerry Dipoto on for a temporary gig to help out during the offseason.

Watch your back, Cherington.

4th one this season and the first in the AL.

Droford is being a bit clumsy about it but he's just talking about variance - which Baseball, especially playoffs, can be at the mercy of. That's basically what the playoff are with your Marco Scutaros' and Bobby Jenks' being playoff "heroes"

Iwakuma will probably ask for Barry Zito money for his next contract after this.

Lol are the O's peaking right now Droford?

Drebin makes valid points, because he's a handsome and brilliant man. Droford is commenting from jealously. How many Blue Jay themed posts did he make pre deadline? I smell jealousy that Toronto pretty much blew everyone else away at the deadline and are now steam rolling everyone,while the O's acquired useful but non difference maker Gerardo Parra. Blind, smelly, Baltimore orange homer jealousy is a stinky Bartolo Colon, Droford.

Jays up 10-2 in the third already. Good times.

Hey!

:(

Not hating on Parra, Roxer. I like him.

Holy shit Rizzo. He might have just topped Donaldsons play of the year

Fuck the Blue Jays!

Rizzo 4 M V P

Yes! Jays might take over first place. Yanks down by 1 in the 8th.

First place! I don't believe it!

Gertner, please let me know when the Jays are done peaking.

O's are about to get passed by the Rays.

White Sox still in it, bro!
