In the after-game interview, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. quoted LA legend, the great Kobe Bryant, and said, “The job’s not finished.” The Blue Jays have been one of the most dominant sides in the postseason in 2025, and this confidence should be expected.
In a dramatic Game 7 of the American League Championship Series, the Toronto Blue Jays secured a 4-3 victory over the Seattle Mariners, propelling them to their first World Series appearance since 1993. Trailing 3-1 in the seventh inning, George Springer delivered a pivotal three-run homer off Eduard Bazardo, marking the first go-ahead homer in Game 7 history when a team trailed by multiple runs in the seventh inning or later.

Throughout the 2025 postseason, the Blue Jays have demonstrated resilience and power, overcoming early deficits to advance to the World Series. Their journey included a remarkable comeback from a 0-2 series deficit against the Mariners, showcasing their determination and depth. However, challenges remain, particularly in their pitching staff. While Trey Yesavage and Louis Varland have been standout performers, the bullpen’s overall ERA stands at 3.98, ranking 16th in the league.

Additionally, their offense faced difficulties against strong pitching, as evidenced in Games 3 and 4 against the Mariners, where they struggled to capitalize on scoring opportunities.
As the Blue Jays prepare to face the formidable Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series, addressing these pitching concerns will be crucial. The Dodgers’ bullpen has been a strength, and their lineup is potent, making every pitching matchup critical. For the Blue Jays to clinch their first World Series title since 1993, they must refine their bullpen strategies and ensure timely offensive production. The upcoming series promises to be a test of their growth and resilience, with Toronto fans eagerly hoping for a triumphant conclusion to a remarkable season.
George Springer’s swing reminded everyone that in October, heroes are forged, not merely remembered. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. warns the Dodgers: complacency could turn dominance into disappointment in Toronto’s spotlight. If the Blue Jays’ bullpen stumbles, even Kobe’s wisdom won’t rescue them from history repeating itself.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is calling in more help to face the Dodgers
In a season already bursting with drama, the Toronto Blue Jays aren’t about to go quietly against the Los Angeles Dodgers. While fans expected a clash of stars, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is quietly assembling reinforcements behind the scenes, hinting that sheer talent alone won’t carry the day. If baseball has taught us anything, it’s that sometimes even legends need a little help to topple the Dodgers’ powerhouse lineup.
Bo Bichette is returning to the Toronto Blue Jays lineup after a painful knee sprain. He confirmed in a postgame interview, “I’ll be ready”, signaling full commitment to the World Series. Before his injury, Bichette led Major League Baseball with 181 hits and 44 doubles in 2025. His presence restores Toronto’s offensive depth, adding a proven hitter against the Los Angeles Dodgers’ pitching staff.
The Dodgers now face a rejuvenated shortstop whose timing and swing are fully operational again. Blue Jays manager John Schneider confirmed Bichette’s progress, noting light running and controlled hitting drills. This boost comes after Toronto’s Game 7 ALCS triumph, raising both morale and lineup stability dramatically. For Dodgers fans, Bichette’s return adds tension, as his .311 batting average threatens to shift momentum quickly.
With Bichette back and Guerrero rallying support, the Blue Jays suddenly look unstoppable at home. The Dodgers might need more than pitching brilliance to contain Toronto’s reinvigorated, star-studded lineup. Baseball fans should buckle up, because this World Series promises tension, drama, and unexpected heroics.
