Joey Loperfido's wife, Faith Reilly, has posted what seems to be her receiving the news.

Congratulations to Ernie and Stefanie!

Yesterday,the Cubs,who have been lighting it up all August,hit 9 home runs against the Brewers but not good enough.It’s crazy to think the Jays still have the single game home run record after almost 40 years at 10 hrs.The record made it through the juiced ball era.

My grandfather has taken several trips over years to visit your amazing county and city timing his vacations around the Jay’s schedules that he can get to see as many games as possible

In June 2027 my grandad is due to reach 60 and plans were underway to coincide with this event.

Unfortunately these plans have had to be cancelled as my grandfather has been diagnosed with terminal accute myloid leukaemia and he only has a limited time left.

I was wondering if you could arrange for one of the players to send my grandad an autograph. I am not asking for a signed bat or ball just a simple autograph.

I know from the tee shirts he has that his favourite all time player is Jose Baptisa and from the current team I know he likes someone called Max??

The family are more than willing to cover the cost of sending the autograph to the uk

I know you probably get a large number of similar requests but any help you can give would be appreciated and would make dad’s day. I just want to do anything I can, and this is one of the few things he has asked for. If anyone can help me please drop me a message

Let’s go Blue Jays

Seeing Max Scherzer striding amongst baseball giants that last game against the Ms - wow. Thought of doing this one for him.

Join our gratitude circle, inspired by Kazuma Okamoto's pregame ritual.

Before and during the series drop something you’re grateful for, baseball-related or not.

Ground Rules for the Circle:

• Please keep it positive. No player bashing, doom-posting, or hot takes here... Plenty of other places to do that.
• Respect everyone’s contributions, even if it’s simple.
• Generally one gratitude per game - you can post more, just keep it clean/reasonable.

I’ll start: just grateful for more meaningful baseball to watch.

Now it's your turn:

Is there anywhere to see a timeline on injured players?

Yesavage- On IL since August 5th. Saw he is throwing from 75 feet on August 25th. Likely still needs a rehab start too. So if we are lucky maybe we get two starts from him?

Taillon- Pitched a rehab start so I assume he is back either by the weekend or early next week

Bieber- Appears completely unknown at this time

Mantiply- Seems likely to be back maybe today?

Josh Smith- Maybe today as well?

Tony Taters- Maybe by the end of the season. Maybe 2028?

Anyone see any other recent updates?

I'm pretty excited to get Dylan Cease! I'm curious to see what everyone else got. Here's hoping they finally ran out of Ryan Borucki signed balls.

Seems like everything we had thought of as possibly contributing to the early onset performance was there - heartbreak over Game 7, expectations, the WBC, a short rest. Oh yeah, and injuries.

I can't even imagine watching the World Series again, so I'm truly in admiration of John doing so (to learn something, I presume).

Seems like with the trade deadline, they were able to embrace new players and lean into different things they weren't doing before at much. My take: speed on the basepaths, which does give them more room if they're going to be hitting singles more often than they'd like.
