Ridiculous compilation of Blue Jays errors dooming their season is Yankees 2025 karma

The Toronto Blue Jays will need to fight tooth and nail if they want to make the postseason in 2026. That fate is a bit surprising, considering that they boasted the best record in the American League last season (by way of a tiebreaker). But hey, that's what happens when you're battling team-wide regression on both offense and defense. When you factor in Buck Martinez’s comments last September about the state of the New York Yankees, it almost feels like karmic payback.  

During a Blue Jays’ September 2025 matchup against the Houston Astros (notably not the Yanks!), Martinez was in the team's broadcast booth when he made a pointed observation about the Yankees.

“The Yankees, they're not a good team,” Martinez said after hearing a score update. “I don't care what their record is. They have a lot of wild pitches, they make a lot of mistakes in the field, and they don't run the bases very well. If they don't hit home runs, they don't have a chance to win.”  

If you’ve played any sport, you’d know that trash talking is a natural part of the game. Spitting some harmless slander towards your opponent can be a fun way to get into their head and gain the upperhand. You just need to make sure that the trash talk that you spill doesn’t come back and splash on you. For the Blue Jays, that trash is now up to their necks. 

In a cathartic compilation pieced together on social media, Yankees Files stitched together an assortment of various errors and lowlights committed by the Blue Jays throughout the 2026 season. In many cases, the defensive errors were routine plays that any pro ballplayer should make in their sleep. On the offensive side of things, several players ran into a number of head-scratching outs while on the base paths. 

This is a team currently on the outside of the playoff picture looking in, and such follies are the kind of thing that could keep the Blue Jays out of the postseason. It’s also the kind of thing that could keep Blue Jays fans awake at night. 

Blue Jays Standings Update: Toronto could be watching the Yankees on TV come October 

As of Sept. 14, the Blue Jays trail the Cleveland Guardians by one game for the third Wild Card spot in the AL. With just 11 games remaining on their schedule, they won’t be afforded a wide margin of error if they want to play meaningful baseball in October. As seen in the lowlight compilation, the miscues and misplays may have cost them a number of hard-fought games that were only lost by a run or two. 

The Blue Jays currently have a 19-23 record in one-run games this season. With an elite closer like Louis Varland waiting in the bullpen, the team could potentially be sitting in a much more comfortable position these days had they tightened up their mental mistakes. Just two extra wins would be enough to have them included in the playoff picture.  

If you’ve watched enough baseball over the years, then you know firsthand how frustrating it can be to watch professionals making the same kind of foolish mistakes that kids make in tee-ball. We’re looking at you, Jasson Dominguez. With 90 errors through their first 151 games, the Blue Jays have committed more errors than the Yankees this year. It’s a reversal of fortune from last year, when Toronto committed eight fewer errors throughout the season than New York.

For Yankees fans, it is definitely a little validating to see a team like the Blue Jays struggling through similar lapses in the fundamentals. “Make the Yankees play baseball” has been circulating around social media for a few years now, so it’s about time other teams got a taste of their own medicine.
