BREAKING: Toronto Blue Jays Accidentally Win 20 Games in a Row After Mistaking Schedule for Fantasy League…….

In a shocking twist that has left fans, analysts, and even players bewildered, the Toronto Blue Jays have accidentally won 20 consecutive games, catapulting them from last place in the AL East to World Series contenders—all because they thought they were playing fantasy baseball.

“It started as a team bonding thing,” said interim manager Jimmy “Two Gloves” Martinez, who was promoted from bullpen catcher after most of the coaching staff caught a mysterious case of “strategic fatigue.” “The guys created a fantasy league where they picked players from other teams. But then someone suggested, ‘What if we just pretended we were our fantasy teams on the field?’ Next thing we knew, we were crushing the Yankees by 15 runs.”

Players reportedly began using their own “fantasy stats” to guide decisions. Pitchers were told to throw only sliders because “they score more points,” and hitters refused to swing at anything that wouldn’t lead to at least an OPS boost.

“I hit for the cycle last Tuesday because I thought triples were worth extra in our league,” said outfielder George Springer, who has been on a tear since trying to outperform a fictional version of himself.

Team morale soared after catcher Alejandro Kirk accidentally referred to the Orioles as “NPCs” during a post-game interview. The insult fueled an intense rivalry that has seen the Jays outscore Baltimore 62–8 in their last three meetings.

Fans have responded with cautious enthusiasm. “I don’t understand what’s going on,” said longtime supporter Janet McDougall, “but if pretending they’re in a video game gets them to win, I’m all for it. My fantasy team is trash anyway.”

Critics, however, argue that this unorthodox approach could lead to chaos in Major League Baseball. “They’re playing too well,” said Red Sox manager Dave Henderson. “It’s not natural. They bunt for fun now. Who does that?”

Meanwhile, Commissioner Rob Manfred has launched an investigation into whether “fantasy-motivated strategy” violates league rules. “We’re not sure if it’s cheating,” he admitted. “It’s just very… Toronto.”

The Blue Jays themselves remain unfazed. When asked about their upcoming series against the Astros, shortstop Bo Bichette shrugged. “As long as I keep starting myself in the fantasy league, I’ll keep swinging. And bunting. And stealing bases. Mostly for the XP.”

As for team ownership, executives are reportedly looking into licensing deals for a new app: “Blue Jays: The Fantasy Experience,” in which fans can control lineups and earn points for things like “intentional walks” and “home run bat flips.”

With the Jays sitting atop the division and no signs of their streak slowing down, fans can only hope this dream—fantasy or not—keeps going.
