Toronto Blue Jays begin September playoff push with integral series against Colorado Rockies
With the calendar flipping to September, the playoff chase has heated up. With an expanded postseason field, more teams are in the hunt in the final month of the season.
Bichette’s injury deprives Rockies fans of watching the son of one of their most popular players, Dante Bichette, who was a member of Colorado’s expansion team in 1993. But Toronto still brings plenty of firepower. “I would say every game is a must-win from here on out,” said starter Chris Bassitt, who beat Washington with eight scoreless innings on Wednesday. “We know there’s a lot of pressure on us. There’s a lot of pressure on a lot of teams. But overall, it’s more so just getting the job done. You can say it’s pressure, but at the same time, this is why we signed up to play for this team. This is why we do it. It’s exciting.
The Rockies have lost nine of their last 10 and are on track for their first 100-loss season, which looks inevitable considering their schedule. They went through a juggernaut of Tampa Bay, Baltimore and Atlanta, and all but three games from here on are against teams with winning records. Three contests at San Diego are the exception.
