Hoping to avoid an edit war. Sourcing for the game log is pretty hit-and-miss across the 2014 season pages. Here are the 2014 pages that do not source their game logs:
And these are the pages that have sourcing:
I think that we should source the games, and use the official MLB source over other sources. Trut-h-urts man ( T • C) 18:05, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
There is a pressing need. "
All content must be verifiable." The fact that those pages have MLB sources doesn't make it correct. The question here is
what counts as a reliable source? The answer is the "type of the work," "creator of the work," and "publisher of the work." It goes on to state how "all three can affect reliability." When I added that reference column, I was thinking of the ESPN pages where they hold the game logs. The only other reference I had considered was baseball-reference.com. What we know is ESPN is a credible.

MLB.com isn't independent. I think our options are espn or baseball–reference.com Kingjeff ( talk) 19:24, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
Sorry to start the conversation and then go M.I.A. I agree that sourcing is important, and I was unaware of the BR page that Spanneraol provided. The page looks great and it's one-stop shopping for the entire season. I think placing the link to the BR season page satisfies both the need to source and Kingjeff's opinion that the sources should be independent of MLB (although I'm with Spanner on that one - MLB box scores are a reliable source). Since the BR page is so convenient it's hard to argue against it in favour of using an MLB or ESPN source for each game. Trut-h-urts man ( T • C) 23:47, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
So, then lets use it. Kingjeff ( talk) 23:49, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
This article is becoming unwieldy per WP:LENGTH, though to be fair, this is the first season in 22 years in which the Jays make it to the postseason.
It would be good to create a separate article for the Jays' resurgence and another for the Jays' 2015 postseason. Johnny Au ( talk/ contributions) 01:06, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
Should we add a summary of the postseason beginning with the ALDS? Right now, the Jays need to win every single remaining game for them to play in the ALCS. Johnny Au ( talk/ contributions) 02:08, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
Should we mention the José Bautista Bat Flip? It is one of the more iconic images of the Jays' postseason run. Johnny Au ( talk/ contributions) 17:38, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
