The 2025 Toronto Blue Jays
- Thread starter Toronto Passions
- Start date
Name the two Tigers that appeared in an episode of Magnum PI!1-0 Seattle Mariners right now.
Watching deciding Game 5 right now between Detroit/Seattle.
Since I'm jumping on the Toronto Blue Jays wagon again. I am rooting for the Detroit Tigers to win and play us starting on Sunday. Why Detroit Tigers? When I was a kid I watched a lot of Magnum P.I. starring Tom Selleck.
She was at Dundas Sq in the summer interviewing someone at a basketball event there. I was staring at her for about a minute like a perv, mmmmm..the things I could do to her, lol
Jays won that series. Seattle pitched everyone and now they play in Toronto tomorrow
is a walk off in 15th a record since the new rules? That is a huge advantage for the Jays now let see if Bo is back
as I suspect he would be DH and that means Springer plays right and that means no Santander striking out and the team is better defensively as Springer is better than Santander and Gimeniz is great at short as he has learned to throw that extra dstance makes great plays and has learned how to take charge as that is the shortstiops job on pop ups
Think of that. We would be significantly better at defence and we replace a sub .200 slugger strike out king who cannot slug with the games best hitter as Bo gets more hits per bat than anyone in MLB
I suspect Schnieder would have preferred to play Tigers it would have been the 401 series as they take the bus
I impress myself sometimes it's crazy. I remember 80s baseball so well. I read the question and the first two names that popped in my head was Alan Trammell and Sweet Lou Whittaker. I've never been much of a Tom Selleck fan, but I do like Blue Bloods and I like him on Friends… And one of my favorite movies of all time is An Innocent Man. Mr. Baseball was all was alright as well.
I never knew Magnum PI was shot in Detroit… I always figured it was shot in Hawaii or something like that.

LMAO, never mind I just looked it up. The character was from Detroit living in Hawaii and he had a liking for the Tigers.

Tom Selleck was born in Detroit and has been a Detroit Tigers fan for his entire life
I never knew Tom Selleck had a major league at bat. I just looked him up. I also never knew he played college ball. I'm naturally interested in him a little bit because I love that movie An Innocent Man (best prison scenes of all time in my opinion next to Shawshank Redemption) and I vaguely remember him participating in some celebrity Home Run Derby during the 1993 All-Star game in Baltimore where he hit a home run… But I never knew he actually was a pinch hitter against the Reds. That could've been Rob Dibble pitching as they mentioned in your clip, who I consider to be one of the most dangerous relievers of all time. His 101 mph in 1990 would've been over 107 mph today. His back catcher shaking his glove hand in agony. These are visual scenes that I will never forget. 101 mph doesn't do that to catchers anymore because the damn guns are juiced now lol. I'm surprised Dibble doesn't get mentioned more in those hardest thrower documentaries because he threw some serious gas. Nasty nasty nasty stuff. Nasty boys for sure.
Is everyone excited for the Mariners series? Great Thanksgiving this will be. I have to honestly say I am so unbelievably impressed with the emergence of Trey Yesavage. It's probably the best of Blue Jays stories I've ever seen. He started this season in A ball and has been strategically brought up through the system to be a secret weapon right now in the postseason. The guy is 22 years old and he is untouchable. I have a big feeling Yesavage is going to be a superstar big time. I'm very impressed with the way the organization handled him, brought him up the way they did, and planned what purpose he would have at this time of year. When you stop and think about what's going on with this kid… It's truly remarkable. One of the best baseball stories I've ever seen in my life. He's not getting a taste of big league baseball, he's pitching in humongous games for a first place team in the postseason. I put this story right up there with Jim Abbott. Obviously Jim Abbott would be number one…but Yesavage would be on this list in my mind. Truly unbelievable what's going on with this whole situation.

"An Innocent Man" was a pretty good flick.
Our starters will look pretty 2026
Bieber, Berrios, Gausman, Yesavage and Tiedeman (he sould be fully recoverd from TJ, I expect him to start at some point in season).
Scherzer and Bassitt are FA, probably won't return.

Co-starring F Murray Abraham, Bruce A Young, Dennis Berkeley and David Rasche. It has a little bit of that typical hero wins at the end Magnum PI type of thing I guess, but the prison segment of this movie is like another movie all in itself. Very well done. This movie signifies 1989 very well.
I just heard Bichette will not be on the roster for the ALCS. That's disappointing. We can pretty much write him off for the year. I don't see them bringing him back for the big one if the Jays advance.

Scherzer and Bassitt are back for ALCS. No changes to position players.
I guess it's fair to assume Yesavage will once again be the game 2 starter. Maybe he will also get game six or seven if necessary. Truly remarkable what this kid is doing. 22 years old replacing Hall of Famer' Max Scherzer on the LDS roster, and striking out former MVPs and future Hall of Famers in the postseason. Making minced meat out of the Yankee lineup. 22 years old! I've never seen anything quite like this. Pulled from his start after giving up no hits in 5 1/3. This is like a fairytale story.

I agree with Bassitt if good to go. You need a 4th starter or bulk guy in a 7-game series. I am surprised to see Scherzer. I hope he exceeds my expectations. I think the Jays are stronger without this year's version of Santander in the lineup. He has not found his stroke yet in 2025 and the ALCS is not the time to give him a chance to work it out + he is the weakest fielder on the roster. I really hope he exceeds my expectations as well.
