Maybe Vladdy Jr. touched the money, and the Baseball Gods decided the only way out of 2025 for him was about as traumatic a way to end a baseball season as possible. The Blue Jays playing New York, New York at Yankee Stadium, mocking their opponent was a frustrating look as a fan, but also, you’d better win the World Series if you do that. Vladdy and the one-hit wonders did not.
The Blue Jays were up 3-2 heading into Toronto, and Game 6 ended on a brutal double play where Kikè threw the runner out at second after running down a fly ball.
In Game 7, we saw IKF in vintage Yankee form. He didn’t take a big enough secondary lead at third base. Miguel Rojas then got the force out at home. With a decent lead off third, it’s probably Toronto that’s celebrating today.
