The Wild Card Division: Matchup 2

BAUTISTA LAUNCHER (SEPT. 22 VS. YANKEES)
The New York Yankees should think twice about ever running on Jose Bautista. In a key divisional matchup down the stretch, the Blue Jays right fielder first gunned out Dustin Ackley at third base with a laser from the outfield, then saved another potential run in the ninth inning with a no-bounce rocket to prevent Chris Young from scoring at home plate. With these two throws, Bautista put to rest any doubts about his lingering shoulder issue.

GOINS ALL OUT (SEPT. 1 VS. INDIANS)
Defensive whiz Ryan Goins shows off his ridiculous Roberto Alomar-esque range at second base, tracking down a high fly ball way out in foul territory in right field. Somehow, Goins makes this incredible sliding catch look routine.

The Wild Card Division: Matchup 1

JUMPMAN (AUG. 26 VS. RANGERS)
No fear from Ben Revere! The Blue Jays outfielder times his jump perfectly to make a leaping catch at the left field wall, while crashing into the scoreboard and bailing out teammate David Price on his birthday.

CURTAIN CALL (SEPT. 27 VS. RAYS)
Yes, we already have a Josh Donaldson Division, and a Going Yard one, too. But Bringer of Rain’s walk-off shot in Toronto’s final home game of the regular season was too big an exclamation point on the MVP debate to deny him a Wild Card spot. So. Clutch.

The Kevin Pillar Division: Matchup 2

PILLAR GOES SUPERMAN (AUG. 6 VS. TWINS)
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s… Kevin Pillar doing what he does best: making unbelievably athletic plays in the outfield for the Blue jays. This time it was Miguel Sano of the Twins who was victimized.

PILLAR GOES SPIDER-MAN (APR. 15 VS. RAYS)
Pillar scaled the 10-foot Rogers Centre outfield wall like your friendly neighbourhood superhero to save a home run from Tampa Bay’s Tim Beckham. Buck Martinez called one of the best catches ever from a Blue Jays outfielder.

A DIVE FOR THE DOUBLE (APR. 21 VS. ORIOLES)
Not only does Pillar rob Baltimore’s Adam Jones of a base hit with an incredible diving catch, but then he makes a heads-up to throw to second to force a double play. Outfield defence at its finest!

OFF THE WALL (APR. 10 VS. ORIOLES)
The Orioles might want to avoid hitting the ball to centre vs. the Blue Jays. Pillar didn’t go full Rodney McCray here, but the way he sacrificed his body in a game the Jays were winning by nine runs showed the lengths Pillar is willing to go to make a play.

The Josh Donaldson Division: Matchup 2

CROWD SURFING (JUN. 24 VS. RAYS)
Josh Donaldson leaps into the stands with reckless abandon to make a spectacular catch and keep Marco Estrada’s bid for a perfect game alive in Tampa Bay. It wasn’t a perfect game in the end, but the leap into the crowd certainly was.

BAREHANDED BEAUTIES (JUN. 10 VS. MARLINS)
Donaldson displays his Gold Glove-worthy defence with a pair of barehanded stops at third base, followed by laser throws to first for the outs against Miami

The Josh Donaldson Division: Matchup 1

THE GREAT ESCAPE (SEPT. 2 VS. INDIANS)
Josh Donaldson shows his wild side on the base paths, running home on a shallow pop fly to right field. On a close play at home plate, Donaldson jumps past the catcher and just gets his hand on the plate to score. Check out the slow-motion replay to truly appreciate the athleticism.

DONNIE WALK-OFF (MAY 26 VS. WHITE SOX)
Donaldson caps off one of the best individual performances of his career, drilling a three-run shot to beat the White Sox in the ninth inning. He finished the game 4-for-4 with five runs, four RBI and two home runs.

The Going Yard Division: Matchup 2

SMOAKED SALAMI (AUG. 8 VS. YANKEES)
Not only was this Justin Smoak’s first career grand slam, but it was also the first time a Blue Jays player had ever gone yard with the bases loaded at Yankee Stadium. Impressive.

DON’T PLAY WITH JOSE (APR. 21 VS. ORIOLES)
Three pitches after Jason Garcia threw behind Jose Bautista in the seventh inning of a game the Blue Jays were leading by seven runs, Joey Bats taught the Orioles rookie a lesson, smashing a 3-1 offering over the wall in left field. What followed was an epic bat flip, a slow trot around the bases and a filthy glare at the Baltimore dugout. So. Much. Swag.

The Going Yard Division: Matchup 1

HOME RUN HAT TRICK (AUG. 29 VS. TIGERS)
Not once, not twice, but thrice! Encarnacion’s three-HR, nine-RBI game was capped off with the grandest of grand slams and an extended delay as fans began throwing hats on the field. All indications from those in attendance point to it being one of the most special moments in Rogers Centre history.

GOINS UP, ON A TUESDAY (SEPT. 1 VS. INDIANS)
It doesn’t get much better than a walk-off homer, does it? After a rare Roberto Osuna blown save in the ninth, Ryan Goins set the Rogers Centre ablaze with this two-run shot in the 10th inning on a warm Tuesday evening in Toronto.

Come back tomorrow to vote on the next head-to-head matchup.
