There was an air of post\u002Dseason baseball wafting through Rogers Centre Saturday afternoon between the Blue Jays and Braves.
In the seventh with the score till tied 2-2, reliever Yimi Garcia loaded the bases with none out. He was left in to get Sean Murphy to ground into a force-out at the plate, but was then replaced by Erik Swanson who left the bases loaded by striking out Rosario and getting Ozzie Albies to fly out to shallow left.“Huge play from George there,’’ said manager John Schneider in recounting one of the game-changing sequences. “It kind of kept the game where it should be.
Schneider has preached an aggressive attitude, be it on the mound or at the plate. When the time is right to push the envelope, he wants players to be assertive and decisive.One of the biggest additions to the roster has been Swanson, who has that much-coveted swing-and-miss element the Jays lacked last season.Jose Berrios left with two outs and a runner at first in the sixth inning after throwing 101 pitches.
Toronto is in the early stages of a 10-game home stand, a stretch viewed by many as crucial, for now that is, a time to measure oneself against elite opposition. According to Schneider, the Jays aren’t fixated knowing they are more than capable of beating any team.
