If John Schneider has his way, the celebrations that began late on their final off day of the season will turn into a fall\u002Dlong festival.
“That’s the best part of baseball — celebrating what you’ve accomplished,” Jays manager Schneider said this week. “You don’t want to ever take anything for granted in this game. Every point that you reached that was a goal, you should definitely celebrate it.”
The Jays will celebrate every accomplishment along the way, however, just reward for grinding through a long and gruelling season. What began at the opening of spring training in mid-February will now extend through at least Oct. 8.tap here to see other videos from our teamWith a record of 87-69, the Jays have earned a post-season berth following a full 162-game season for the first time since 2016 and just the third time since 1993.
After Thursday’s off day, they begin their final home stand of the regular season with a three-game series against the Red Sox. Ace Alek Manoah will get the ball in Friday’s opener of what is expected to be a sold-out Rogers Centre for all three contests. While claiming a wild-card spot has been inevitable for several weeks, there is nothing anti-climactic about it for the Jays, other than seeing it happen on an off-day.
“To celebrate getting a chance to be in the post-season is definitely worth it. It’s exciting to be in the picture of continuing to play into October.”
