Jays face big test with division gap closing! | Digital Sportscentre

This is Sports Center. Hey, I’m Bruno. It does not get any easier for the Jays today. After a tough series against the Yankees and an off day yesterday, they’re back at it again today against the first place Astros. And I know many Jays fans are feeling a little deflated after that Yankee series considering they won the first one and then just let the two slip from their fingers. And it’s September 9th. Also, reminder, it’s the 999 portal. Okay, a very important cosmic time, a time of change, a time of endings. But it also means every game is important this time of year and specifically for this ball club. as their lead in this division is down to just two to the Yankees and three to the Red Sox. It’s always a nervy time of year, isn’t it? There’s more of this to come to close out the season as the Jay’s remaining opponents have a 509 winning percentage, which is the 12th hardest in the MLB. And looking ahead, that Boston series starting September 23rd really is going to be crucial, isn’t it? Jos Bio will be on the bumps tonight for the Jays, and it was not a pretty outing for him last start as he was shielded for just six runs in two innings, although only two of them earned. The rotation is lined up nicely for this Astros series though as they have Shane Bieber going tomorrow with Kevin Gosman going Thursday. Are we still angry with the Astros give us more incentive for the Jays to win, eh? Over to hockey and let’s continue our Canadian breakout series today with the Winnipeg Jets. And the player to watch is Cole Perfetti. The 23-year-old is coming up his best NHL season yet, putting up 50 points with 18 goals and 32 assists. And oh yeah, he plays the full 82. More than just numbers, he finally showed he can stay healthy and play all season long. This year, the spotlight only gets brighter. With Nikolai Eer’s gone to Carolina, there’s a hole in the Jets top six, and Perfetti’s leading candidate to step into that spot. That comes with a lot of added pressure, but also a huge opportunity for a player to prove he can put up numbers and take the next step. Perfetti is also on a 2-year bridge deal, which makes this season matter even more as a big year can lock in a nice contract. But what makes us most excited is that he brings the confidence of last year’s playoffs, where he scored one of those goals that fans just don’t forget. Those kind of moments change how coaches and teammates look at you and can set the stage for bigger things. Davis [Applause] cross score Perfetti with under two seconds remaining. Ties it. Realistically, if he locks down that top six spot, Perfetti has the tools to push into the 60 to 65 point range with 20 to 25 goals. But if you don’t believe me, I’m sure Jesse can convince you. I think you covered a bunch of the bases, Riss. I think Cobra Fett is going to have a massive year. This is the year he really takes a huge step forward. I mean, after you score a goal like that, which I was in the building for, by the way, it just adds a degree of confidence and maturity to your game. And that’s exactly what I think Cole PVett is going to demonstrate this year. That was the greatest moment of my life. Come on, Jetties. Let’s go Cole. Time to step up, baby. To the NFL. After a gutty come from behind win over Seattle, the niners appear to be hitting some injury wos once again as George KD’s expected to miss 3 to 5 weeks with a hamstring injury. And we kind of expected that one given how he didn’t finish the game. But this brought Pretty news is a little surprising as he suffered both a shoulder and toe injury in the Seahawks game with the toe injury being the more concerning one with Niners head coach Kyle Shanahan uncertain about status for Sunday’s game against the Saints. If Pretty can’t go, then former Patriots 15th overall pick M. Jones would get the start. And one more injury note for the Niners. Joan Jennings is also dealing with a shoulder injury and expected to get a CT scan. This is just more bad injury luck for a Niners team who seemed to be plagued by injuries year after year as they were the number one most injured team last season. And I’ve been in the top 10 of most injured teams for six of the last seven years. No, my poor friends in the Bay Area. This is not fair to them. It’s not my favorite segment. Anyways, we love sports today. Why we love sports today. As the cool weather slowly arrives, bringing a sad end to summer, it means you have less time for stunts like this, which might actually be a good thing. [Music] That is out of his parents house. He’s not doing that at his house. Okay. When will these children just eventually leave their parents alone? As soon as you finish watching this show, you have to head to Bardon’s YouTube page immediately because the boys are playing beer league hockey bingo. All these challenges on this board are things that usually happen, good or bad, in your regular beer league game. From putting one right in the barrel, putting one rate in the barrel. Yeah, I I know I spelled it wrong. That’s my bad. I’m sorry. Or just simply arguing a penalty that you know you probably deserved. If you’ve played Beer League, you know that these happen. First of all, the concept of this video is amazing, but it gets even better when you see Jesse attempt the worst dangle in hockey history. Oh my god. What was that? That’s a That’s a dangle. A round. That’s a dangle. That was a crazy dang. That’s bingo. Dingo. Oh man. Bingo. Not only did you not complete it, there was no one near you. That’s a dangle. I wouldn’t feel good about that one just I wouldn’t put that on the internet if I were you. You do not look good, man. He tries to show off, but a dangle usually involves, you know, an opponent coming at you. I don’t like it’s fine. Jesse’s just trying his best out there, I guess.
