Look, I am not throwing smoke without fire. I am looking at results, timing, and a whole lot of eyebrow raising coincidence. The Blue Jays have been a wagon at Rogers Centre and a very different animal away from it. We are talking about a 54–27 home record versus a 40–41 road record. That is not a whisper. That is a siren. Yankee fans are not crazy for asking what is going on up there in Toronto, and frankly neither are MLB fans who have noticed the same split. If Major League Baseball wants confidence in October baseball, then transparency has to be non negotiable.
Not even joking @MLB please investigate the @BlueJays origination. This has another Astros incident written all over it. This doesn’t even make sense. This is fishy. They’re more than likely cheating.
Fifty four wins at home. Forty one losses on the road with only forty wins. Same roster. Same opponents. Same season. Very different results. That does not convict anyone of anything. It does invite questions. It invites accountability. It invites the league to say here is what is happening, here is how we know it is clean, and here is why fans can trust the product.
the Blue Jays hired Dave Hudgens (former Astros hitting coach) , which raises suspicion among some fans given his association with the 2017 Astros cheating scandal.
Coaching connection: The Blue Jays hired Dave Hudgens, former Astros hitting coach. His past association with the 2017 scandal makes some fans uneasy. Hiring him is not proof of wrongdoing. It is context that fuels speculation when the splits look like this.
The center field hotel talk: Fans point out the hotel past the batter’s eye and toss around the idea that a camera could be tucked away to read signs. Again, this is fan theory, not verified fact. But it lives online because the results keep feeding it.
Plate discipline that looks robotic at home: You hear it from callers and you read it in timelines. Fouling off every tough pitch. Never missing the cookie. It can be approach, it can be comfort, it can be noise. When it is this consistent in one ballpark, people talk.

Yankees played 9 games in Toronto

They MUST figure out how/why this will never happen again
“Very obvious what’s happening here. Not even joking @MLB please investigate the @BlueJays organization. This has another Astros incident written all over it.”
“I truthfully believe the Blue Jays are cheating somehow at home. 54–27 at home and 40–41 on the road during the regular season.”
“I’m convinced Blue Jays are cheating. They are stealing signals via a high zoom camera or hitters wearing a buzzer, plus enhanced AI pitch predictions.”
These are fan opinions. They are not evidence. They are the temperature of the room after watching two completely different versions of the same team depending on the postal code.
“Not buying the Blue Jays are cheating excuse. Seems like loser talk.” — a Yankees fan who wants the team to play better rather than point fingers.
“Jays cheating allegations are funny. Butthurt Yankee fans. Look at that swing and tell me Clement was sitting curveball.” — the other side of the aisle pointing to execution, not espionage.
Fair. If you are going to accuse, you better bring more than vibes. That is the standard. It should be the standard.
Jays cheating allegations are so funny because not only are they only a result of butthurt Yankee fans but it’s also very easy to tell it’s just bullshit lmao
Last season we all heard it on YES. Michael Kay wondered out loud why the Jays looked like a completely different club in Toronto. He pointed at their ability to foul off everything tough, a week after looking far less pesky in the Bronx. John Sterling raised an eyebrow too. That did not land as a charge sheet. It landed as something a lot of us felt in our gut. When pros who watch one hundred sixty two say it on air, the antenna goes up.
This Postseason Poured Gas On The Fire
Game Two in Toronto was a dose of worst case scenario for Yankees fans. Trey Yesavage looked like a video game, the Jays bats kept finding barrels, and Rogers Centre felt like a buzzsaw. You can tip your cap to a kid who executed, you can blame the Yankees for chasing the splitter, and both can be true. The bigger story for the conversation is simple. The home version of Toronto keeps playing like a juggernaut. The road version keeps looking mortal. That is the root of all this noise.
What This Is Not
This is not me saying the Blue Jays are guilty of anything. I am not the league. I do not have access to dugout tunnels or camera wiring or replay rooms.
This is not a request to excuse poor Yankee play. The Yankees need to square up heaters, stop chasing the split, and own the zone regardless of venue.
This is not a witch hunt. It is a call for clarity in an era where trust already took a hit.
What This Should Be
MLB transparency: Randomized tech sweeps at ballparks. Clear reporting about what is checked and what is found. Specifics, not press release fog.
Umpire and league protocols refreshed: Real time guardrails on live video access, bat boy and clubhouse runner movement, and replay room restrictions that are enforced and audited.
A neutral look at Rogers Centre: The building is unique. The layout is unique. Give fans a walk through of what cannot happen there and why. Remove mystery, you cool the room.
What The Yankees Can Control Right Now
Game planning: Sit split late from Yesavage types until they prove they can dot four seam. Force fastball strikes. Shorten, spoil, earn walks, make their pen work in the fifth not the eighth.
Sign security in the Bronx: Keep it tight. Mix sequences. Vary timings. If anyone wants to test this team’s prep at home, make them chase shadows.
Own the at bat quality: You can be out talented for a night. You cannot be out competed for a series. Hunt counts. Hammer mistakes. Move the line.
NYYNEWS Felix Final Word
I am never going to call a team cheaters without proof. I am also never going to tell fans to ignore an elephant sitting on the infield. The Blue Jays are a different beast at home. The record screams it. The eye test confirms it. The broadcasters noticed it. Fans feel it, even if they do not agree on the why. The league can settle this with sunlight. The Yankees can settle it with swings. You want to silence speculation in October. Score in the Bronx, take two games, head back to Toronto close it out, take the oxygen out of the Rogers Centre myth, and push this story back into the what if bin where it belongs.
Now tell me what you are seeing. Are you reading approach or are you reading something else
