Avoiding Seattle Mariners' Raleigh not so simple for Toronto
The Blue Jays found out the downside of pitching around Seattle Mariners slugger Cal Raleigh during Game 2 of the ALCS.
BY ZAC HERETH
Just two years ago, Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider uttered a now-infamous quote about Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh. Raleigh had just blasted two home runs during a comeback, extra-innings win in Toronto in April 2023, and Schneider wasn’t all that complimentary when speaking about the future MLB single-season home run record holder for catcher and switch-hitters.
“He’s hitting .200,”Schneider said at the time.
“I know he’s done damage against us. … He’s obviously got big damage potential and he’s got a lot of strikeout potential, too, and when you execute your pitches, you usually get the job done.”
