It’s easy to go back and cherry pick some of those games the Blue Jays should’ve won and circle those moments as games that slipped away.
But 2021 was unlike any other year in recent memory for the Blue Jays, so it only seems par for the course. In any other year, 91 wins would be more than enough to secure a playoff berth, heck, even clinch a division. The Blue Jays can sympathize with the Mariners at how cutthroat this season was in the American League. But it just so happened the American League East was a meat-grinder this season, housing four 90+ win teams.Īlso, talk to the Seattle Mariners who secured 90 wins this year and also sat on the outside looking in. Heading into Opening Day, if you told most people the Blue Jays would end up with 91 wins, that would arguably exceed expectations. But there’s plenty of good to celebrate after a chaotic campaign that won’t soon be forgotten. Not that any team would be satisfied with missing out on the playoffs, but this team has everything to be proud of after all they accomplished in 2021.įor fans, it’s okay to feel disappointed, angry and upset at how the Blue Jays season concluded. Despite a 91-win season and posting their sixth-best regular season record in franchise history, it still wasn’t enough to squeak into the postseason. A season when it wasn’t even certain the team would return to their home nest in Toronto.Īt the conclusion of it all, the Blue Jays came up just a hair short of a playoff berth this season. A campaign that saw the team schlep between three different “home” ballparks. It was one of the wildest seasons in Toronto Blue Jays history.
