The playoffs are a different animal. Here's what a trio of Blue Jays veterans believe are the keys to postseason success. EthanDiamandas
made the playoffs three times during Matt Chapman’s five-year tenure in the organization. The 29-year-old played in two of those series, both one-game wild-card matchups in 2018 and 2019. And it’s the physical sensations he remembers from those moments.
“It never works when I try really hard, like putting so much pressure on myself,” he said. “I do best when I kind of focus and I'm in the moment. I just let it come to me.” “Have fun, enjoy, play hard, expect to win,” said George Springer, rattling off a few keys to postseason success. “I think as long as you have confidence in yourself as a team, you can achieve anything you want.”
Jackie Bradley Jr., a veteran of 22 career playoff games, agrees with Springer in that every postseason play — and misplay — will be dissected to the fullest degree. So, when his Blue Jays teammates ask for advice, he keeps it very simple. When things go sideways — think Russell Martin’s throwing error in Game 5 of the 2015 ALDS versus the Texas Rangers — a ballclub’s true colours emerge. How much do they want it? Do they have each other’s backs? Can they pick each other up?
