What the hell? You only get one challenge in a game and Toronto’s dugout decides to challenge a call that doesn’t even involve a scoring opportunity. That wasn’t player error, it was coaching staff error. If that comes back to bite their ass, they have no right to chew a player’s ass fora bone headed decision. Damn.
Thank god for Blue Curve watch anywhere app. Charging the EV while watching the game, or is it, watching the game while charging the EV..............

Thanks to Covid, and because of it, with the Marlins team testing positive, the Jays had to play 27 games in 28 days. Must be tough on the young players. Still, no excuse. It looks like they will most likely make it into the playoffs via the wild card spot, but man, they are going to be spanked by just about every other team. Seattle could go on a tear and knock the Jays out the post season. Taiwan, I mean, Taijuan Walker the starter today.
Anyway, nooner about to start. GO, Jays, GO!!!!

Wow, Phillies starter is a noob. His first game in the majors. Just balked and let a run come in from 3rd. Top of the first with one out. Oh, just scored again. Single RBI by Gurriel Jr.
Can this be the turn around game?

LOL at Phanatic, the Phillies mascot. I think the Jays have a legit excuse to complain. The shtick with the huge bag of popcorn must have been distracting to the Jay's pitcher.
Then again, Phanatic does that kind of shit all the time at Phillies games, and gets away with it.

Okay, this noob pitcher is getting it done. 8 down. The Jays remind me of the 'Nucks.

Ouch! Teoscar makes an amazing catch at the wall, but smacks his foot on the concrete foundation. He's hurt, but like a good hockey player, he tells Montoyo and the trainer to go away. Damn, if that were a soccer player he'd be flapping around in pain screaming and whining.

Jesus not siding with the Blue Jays' crew chief. Was that a challenge or was that a request? Ball didn't look like it cleared the fence.
By Jesus, I'm talking about the umpire from the Dominican Republic Ramon De Jesus.
Good thing Teoscar stayed in, as he hit a two run homer just now. 6-1 for Jays! Top the 7th.

Anyone know what's with the two index fingers shake after certain players on the Jays' team get a base hit?
Is it a team thing or a Latino thing. Just saw Kirk do it.
Jays ahead 9-1 bottom of 5th.

Damn, when Alejandro Kirk first played for the Jays this past week, I thought, "Uh oh.... this guy is not going to make it." It was his first Major league game. Did alright, but his second game was a bit of a disaster. Today, he's on fire! Four hits, so far. The team loves this kid. He's very popular with the team and the fans. What's not to like about this team?
GO, Jays, GO!
11-2 bottom of the 7th.

After getting ass raped last night by the Yankees, the Jays bounce back. It's not over yet, but 7-1 lead in the bottom of the 6th.
Not sure which inning, but NY had bases loaded with no outs and the Jays pitcher at the time, got out of the inning with no runs scoring. In today's game, pitching is a pretty important factor. Pitch count, when they played last, the rotation, left hand vs right hand hitters, etc.
I don't think I have ever witnessed a catcher interference penalty in all the years I've watched baseball. Seen replays of them, but not in real time.
oh, 11-1 now with 1 out.
Go, Jays, GO!

14-1 win. Magic number is now down to 1.
Seattle has a night off Thursday. They did win today..
Danny Jansen, the Jay's catcher with 4 hits today. Alejandro Kirk, the noob, backup catcher got a 4 hit night two nights ago. Two catchers doing it for the Jays.

Tomorrow's starter is none other than Hyun-Jin Ryu.
Do South Korea proud!
Here's a bit of history on this pitcher. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyun-jin_Ryu

Speaking of baseball being played all over the world, here's an interesting fact.
Russia, lol. Really? https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/h...than-baseball/
Just hope they know the label on the bat must face up or down when hitting the ...................... baseball?

Yankees are such a strong team with lots of history. In its 106 seasons, they have 27 championships. Playoff percentage of 51.
Jays now have a 2-0 lead bottom of 3rd.

Two run double by backup catcher, Alejandro Kirk. He's in there as Designated Hitter, while Jensen is the catcher in today's game. Good move, 'cause both catchers are on fire. 4-0 now.
Hyun-Jin pitching well. Not sure what the pitch count is up to, but why do managers wait until something drastic happens? Mind you, three up three down, the pitch count is low. 7 innings, though?
EDIT: 88 pitches......... 99 is Ryu's highest so far this season. Nobody warming up. WTF?
Got it.... Buck Martinez just explained it. Two more hitters and it's top of the batting order for NY. Now they have someone warming up.
Damn, Here comes the Judge. BIG hitter pinch hitting for NY. Surprise!
Ryu survives. Flyballs. 7 innings with exactly 100 pitches and no runs. First time for a Blue Jays pitcher.
Get a few more runs and call in the closer, lol.

Damn......... Yankees with bases loaded thanks to the relief pitcher's (Anthony Bass) three walks. Dolice comes in and batter, Sanchez, hit the ball deep......... it looks like a grand slam to tie the game. Grichuk, the Jay's outfielder jumps up and catches it to end the inning. Sanchez was two inches from hitting a grand slam. It ain't over till it's over, but they dodged a missile. 3 more outs, ftw. https://twitter.com/TomHanslin/statu...7Ctwgr%5Etweet
Let's go Blue Jays............. Let's go Blue Jays........

It's over......... Jays are in!
In way over their heads and underdogs, for sure, but they've earned their way into the post season.
3 game series, so anything is possible.
Exchanging sweat shirts............. to, "Respect Toronto!"
So happy for Montoyo. Man, what a celebration. I don't think I've ever seen Hyun-Jin Ryu smile like that. Vladdy and his GoPro, lol.

Jays ahead 8-0 top of 4th against the Orioles. Yankees losing its game, so far. Jays may not have to play that "scarier than Yankees," Tampa Bay Rays in the post season.
Apparently, nothing scares the players on the Jays roster. Bring it on, is their attitude.

Jays were up 10-0 at one point, thanks to good performances by pitchers Taijuan Walker and Water Person. Pearson after pitching a set number of pitches was replaced by Yamaguchi, who was crappy tonight. Game ended in a 10-5 victory. Highlight in the game was when Shaw hit what looked like a home run. However, it ended up only to be a stand up double. I suppose it's possible, but the ball hit the top of the wall and bounced back onto the field. Defying the laws of physics - Bugs Bunny would say, "I never studied law." It was just a case of too much English, lol.

I rarely watch other baseball games, but decided to watch the Marlins vs Yankees game. Looked like the Marlins were going to win. It ain't over till it's over, 'cause the Yankees came back to tie it. Extra innings. Tied 3-3, the Marlins take the lead. NY with 4 errors in this game. Like WTF? A win for the Marlins and they're in the playoffs.
Bottom of the 10th, bases are loaded and the leagues number one hitter is up for NY with 1 out. Marlins turn a double play to end it. If the stars line up, Jays may not be playing the Tampa Bay Rays. Oh, Imma gonna watch the Halo's vs Dodgers game tomorrow. It's a good matchup. Cross town rivals.
Let's go Blue Jays, Let's Go...........Let's go Blue Jays, Let's GO!

Missed most of the game today. I get home, turn on the tele and saw the most amazing baseball play. Throw back to pitcher and Jay's runner, Villar steals third...... we're talking throw back from catcher to pitcher. It was a very close call, but you only see that kind of shit in little league.
Jays have the lead 5-2 at the top of the 9th. 2 out and no players on base. Nice!

Win!!!!
One game left in the season. Jays can finish 5th seed and second in their division if everything falls into place. I really can't see the Yankees dropping to 8th seed. What a season, though. The Jays at the beginning of the season didn't even know where they'd be playing. Because of Covid, Ontario did not give the go ahead to let the jays play in their home stadium. They made a home in Buffalo, NY. Grounds crew and management did everything in their power to try and make Sahlen Field their own. What a story.

WTH?
The Jays have Roark as starter in this afternoon's game. The guy has an ERA of 7! Top of the first inning and the bases are loaded with one out.
I get it that a three straight game series is coming up and you have to worry about the rotation, but can you not come up with better? LOL.
Addendum: Got away with stranding three runners on............ damn.
The Jays can, if NY Yankees lose their game today and the Jays win, get into second place and 5th overall seed. Possibility of playing four other teams in the playoffs. Teams the Jays have not played all that much against. They've played the Rays many times. Like commentator chick said the other day, "Better the Devil you know............."
