Blue Jays are scary good heading to ALCS
- Updated: October 10, 2016
TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays are scary good at this point. Weakness? You’d have to look long and hard to find one. How’s that for a scouting report?
“We definitely feel good about where we are at right now,” third baseman Josh Donaldson said.
He was speaking outside another wild clubhouse celebration, the third one the Blue Jays have had in eight days. His team is playing its best at a time when the lights are brightest and stakes highest, and isn’t that what championship teams always do?

Toronto completed a three-game sweep of the Texas Rangers in the American League Division Series on Sunday with a 7-6, 10-inning victory.
For the second consecutive year, the Blue Jays are in the AL Championship Series, and they will play Game 1 in either Boston or Cleveland on Friday night (time TBD). The ALCS will be broadcast on TBS, as well as Sportsnet and RDS (in French) in Canada.
In these three games against the Rangers, the Blue Jays had all of their many strengths on display, hitting eight home runs and scoring 22 runs.
Bullpen? It was nearly airtight with a 2.00 ERA.
Rotation? It might be baseball’s deepest.
