New York – in the morning after Toronto Blue Jace beat New York Yankiz In the game of the 1st series of the Division of the American League, John Schneider met with Kevin Gausman in the gym and thanked the right -hander. The last 10-1 was on the insured nature of the newcomer, especially during the sixth Inning, when Aaron Jajj was not with them, and the bases were loaded, narrow leadership with a score of 2-0, hanging in a thread. Despite the analytical case for amendments, for the third time by order, a good career match for a long-term candidate Al MVP compared to the ace-shower was stuck with Gausman, a call with high rates, which would be the second that was signed on nausea. Gausman made sure that this was not like a judge on a brilliant splitter with a full score, a hit in the ball, and limited the damage to one mileage before Louis Varland completed the escape with the leader of K'ings Jankarlo Stanton.
“Honestly, it was a rather cool moment,” Gausman recalled the expression of Schneider's gratitude. “You know, he is dealing with many things that we don’t even know between the front -office, which says,“ hey, we must probably attract guys early, ”and this type. I think he was just happy that it worked. I was here from the very beginning with Schneid, and I saw how he became better in his work when he left. And I said: “Hey, I loved that you left me. It makes your heart, of course, we did this to face the best in the game.
Until now, Blue Jays together has done its work more efficiently than that of the Yankees, especially during the most important points of the bend from the first two games, so they worked on Monday at the Yankee Up 2-0 stadium in the best of five episodes. Just like Gausman on Saturday, Ernie Clement, with a two-year shot in the second half, and Vladimir Herrero-Jr., with great helmets in the fourth, inclined Sunday novel in favor of Blue Jace, ensuring the brilliance of Treya Iessavaga was completely difficult.
Shane Bieber starts the game on Tuesday evening 3 (Sportsnet, 20:00 East time / 5 pm PT) against Carlos Rodon with the ability to send his team to the AL championship for the first time since 2016, and for this, Al East champions will have to continue to meet with the moment the result hangs in the balance sheet.
“You can always feel it. You can never predict this, but you can feel it, and I think they can cope with this well, ”Schneider said about the moment of the point of turning point during the postseson. “Whether it is Gauzi or Louis in the sixth of the game 1, Ernie, At-Biga, Vlad, you can feel that this is happening and you just want to do what you usually do in more completed pressure pressures.
“I think they have succeeded,” he added. “We will have to continue to succeed and not try to do too much. This series did not end. We come to a difficult place to play against a really good jug and really good team. I think you are trying to stay ahead of these situations, and you want to try to just be yourself. ”
So many different Blue Jays found ways to be not only by themselves, but also the best versions of themselves, during the first two games in the Rogers Center before hoarse and electric crowds, helping to deprive the luggage from the disappointment after the previous past.
The front in the center in this regard, Vladimir Herrero-Jr., who was 3-N-22 with two walks and one RBI in three wild cards, which were in 2020, 2022 and 2023, but it is already 6-K-9 with two hot and six RBIs in this move. Answering the question of the growth that he saw from the first lower classes of All-Star, manager of Yanka Aaron Buna, pointed out how he “really secured himself as a kind of face and leader of this organization”, as he signed us for 500 million US dollars, and called him “a guy, we have a ton of respect for what it damaged us over the years”.
Herrero still embodied this so far, and although his abundance on the field was definitely demonstrated, the cunning coup of bats after the blow was put up by A-O. was balanced throughout the take-off and falls of the last weeks, and skillfully controlling emotional vibrations.
“One step at a time. On one of the bat at a time. One game at a time. This is my mentality at every swing, ”said Herrero, speaking through the translator of Hector Lebron on his approach. Just keep going there and do everything possible to help my team win. If for some reason I do not do work, I have to trust the rest of my teammates to do my job. ”
The difference that he notices in how Blue Jays copes with this post-zone compared to previous types of playoffs?
“In the other way,” he answered. “I will tell you this, today it was optional for everyone, and we are all here.”
The Blue Jace clearly showed this from a jump in game 1 when Gausman set a tone in the first, and Herrero went deep in the lower half, and then they did not fade when the Yankees excited back, illustrated by Judge At-Bit.
In the type of jam, where many jugs would fasten and threw a step on the plate to judge, Gausman very clearly decided that he had passed one run to prevent four and simply did not budge. Splitter 3-2 was a master class that he did not give up, checking whether the judge (which is in the regular season-17-on-48 with six Homers and 11 walks against him) to contain the desire to damage and go through the baton, knowing that he was good if he did the right superstar right supplier.
“I was completely beautiful, judge,” said Gausman. “I knew that I made really good feeds of the whole bit.
He went to Cody Bellinger, the next test, although, although the outfielder is only 2 to 22 with two walks and six autos against him, but “he became a little to me for himself and removes him.” A walk, loaded with bases, reduced Blue Jays leadership to 2: 1, Gausman, which received a pop -up window from Ben Rice for the second, and Schneider went to Varland, who blew up Stanton, which led to the splays of four running around in the seventh and eighth, which dodged the game.
“He simply did not give up, especially through the heart of their composition, when one step, one swing can, as it were, open the game. I was very happy and proud of him in how he approached this situation, ”Bieber said about Gausman. “We seemed to conquer this impulse, and we were able to break it from there. In fact, I think that it just boils down to not give up and make a tax when you need, and Kevin and Louis were able to do it. ”

Schneider felt the same, so he dedicated the point to thank Gausman.
“It was a hell of AT-Bil,” he said about a duel with a judge. “His pace was different. He held the ball into several fields. He quickly went a few steps. This is such a tough question. It happened so quickly. This is the third time for the third time. This is the best striker in the league. I did not know that the other person (better) to enter this situation, and not the guy who was at five innings in full, knew that you knew that there were a lot of you.
“This is a veteran of the jug, focusing on the situation,” Schneider continued. “To throw off 3-2 split, which is a blow to the ball, this is your best choice, and if you do not get it, you move on. And he did the same with Belly.
Perhaps, if this moment, or several others like him, played a little differently, this series can be located completely two, as he switched to Bronx. Gausman and Blue Jace are still convinced that we will never know.
