Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went 0-for-7 across the first two games of the ALCS, as his Blue Jays fell into an 0-2 hole at home against the Seattle Mariners. He reached base only once in those two games, an eighth-inning walk in Game 2 with Toronto already down by seven runs; he ended the inning on third. That is not going to do it.

"I think the gist of it was just getting some more out of me, which is fair," Conforto said. "I expect more out of myself. We talked through a lot of things, but that's the main thing. Just to fight for every inch in those situations. "A lot of times, there'll be bases loaded situations that fall to that seven hole and great teams - playoff teams - they come through and score in those spots."
