Robbie Ray an amazing outing today. 8-0 Blue Jays, top of 7th with over 100 pitches. Need to take him out now. Then again bull pen sucks so badly, it’s a gamble. There’s no need to push a pitcher to save your bullpen. Risk of injury.
Edit: Montoyo comes out and pitching change. 10th strike out. Leave on a high note. No injury to ego or arm. Good call.
Cy Young this year is a possibility, for sure. Oh, wow…….. they put the “Home Run” jacket on Ray.

Yup, first 2 up and 2 homers. Plate umpire calls an obvious ball a strike on Guerrero Jr. Vladdy was on his way to first (half way to first), when ump says, "Strike!" No problem, ump. I'll just hit it out of the park, lol. His 40th of the season.
All the Jays need in this game is for Hyun Jin to pitch like he's supposed to and not shit the bed like he's been doing the last little while.
Wow, must be a dream come true for Smith. First game at Yankee Stadium.

Before heading into tonight's ball game, Toronto and Seattle are both 3 games behind the last wild card spot. Oakland A's are now 3.5 games behind. Both Toronto and Seattle face the same teams again. Winning another game against the Yankees is not impossible, but hoping Seattle loses to Houston again. Meanwhile Boston play the Rays. The Rays are a tough team to beat.
If all goes well, Jays have a good chance of leapfrogging the Mariners like they did the A's.
Tonight's startup pitchers...... Gerrit Cole vs Steven Matz. Wow. Cole struck out 15 with no walks in his last outing. Matz has an ERA of 1.65 in his last six games. The next two pitchers for the Jays in this four game series are, Alek, "I want to Bean players," Manoah and José Berríos. Both of these pitchers have what it takes, but are totally unpredictable. Time to buy more bed sheets............... let's hope not.
Let's go, Blue Jays!

Nice. I guess there are baseball gods after all.............. Yankee's number one pitcher's not right. Got charged with a balk. Just before the next pitch, you could see him shaking ever so slightly. The trainer was summoned and he was taken out of the game. Something was up, because the replacement pitcher was up and on the field in no time. Jays leading 3-1 at top of 5th.
Semien solo homer!!! What a swing........... thing of beauty.
4-1 with no out!

Just listening to Buck and Tabby talk about Cooperstown. Larry Walker is going to be inducted into baseball's Hall of Fame. Second Canadian to be inducted. I did not know how amazing a player he was. Maple Ridge, damn.
What a career. When I read about how he made it in a hockey mad country where baseball was never a thing, it made me tear up a bit. I grew up next to Oppenheimer Park, where I watched and worked at the baseball games there. I fell in love with baseball. Oppenheimer was home to the Asahi team. I so wanted to join a team. Any team, but all I could do was play with the kids in the area. I was one of two players who could hit the ball into the third floor of the Junior Building at Strathcona Elementary. Alas, there was none of this JumpStart program or programs to get youth into organized sport. Life is so unfair at times. At least I had my music.

Damn, the Yankees are an intimidating team. Huge players. Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge are like huger bookends. Guerrero isn't tiny by any means, but when Stanton stands next to Guerrero at first base, it's no contest. Then, the Jays have the shorty Mexican, Alejandro Kirk, who's standing taller than any Yankee in this series with multiple homers. New York pinstripe unis, so classic.
Damn, Gurriel just got out of the way of a wild pitch. It was "headed" right for the noggins. Nobody could believe he got out of the way in time. Just grazed the helmet. Manoah's supposed to be the head hunter, lol.

Seattle won today, so they are 2-1/2 games back. Jays are 2 games back, and Oakland 3-1/2 games back. Jays up 3-0 top of 6th. Starting pitcher for NY taken out of the game early and the NY bull pen is struggling. 8 walks so far. That's nuts. Jays only have two hits. This is not a game for bats to go quiet. Punish the bullpen. With two games to go in the series, you need to wear out the pitchers. The next series is against the same Yankees, but in TO.

Jeepers, what the hell, ump? Never seen a side arm, submarine pitcher before? When pitches are on or near the strike zone, yeah, you can call it whichever way you want, but when the ball is in the strike zone nearly down the middle, you gotta call it a strike. Unconventional style "throws" both hitter and the home plate ump off. Good thing Jays got out of the inning stranding two pinstripers.
Gurriel hits a long single that goes to the wall. He keeps running and takes third. Wow, some balls, right there. Ball hit deep by newcomer, Lamb, and it's caught by Aaron Judge who has a really strong arm. Gurriel tags up and comes home. 5-3 Jays top of 8th.

Top of the 9th and NY has their best closer on the mound. Triple digit fast ball kind of pitcher. Vladdy's like, "Give me your best!" BOOM! Solo home run 114 mph off the bat. 6-3 with one out.
Romano tp pitch the bottom of 9th. Not confident he can get it done. He has changed his prep and wind up and it seems to be working for him.
Go, Jays, GO!!!

7th win in a row............ Evanka Osmak, "They look like they (Yankees) lost their puppies." Cameramen capturing the faces of the Yankees in the club house. Shocked, just shocked. The mighty Yankees getting spanked. Possible sweep tomorrow??? Game and a half behind the Yankees. Who would have thunk? So many Jays fan off the bandwagon just a month ago. I never gave up on them. Seen too many amazing comebacks this season. This team is special. Not going all the way, but the way this team has a knack of winning and never giving up. The way they have fun. The crazy characters they have on the team. If you've watched this team on a daily basis, you can't help but to love these guys.
Not going to be disappointed if they don't make it into the post season, but what a ride!

Vladdy can get the Triple Crown in Baseball this season. At 22 years of age, it would be an amazing feat.
100th Ribbie for Vladdy. 42nd home run and .32 batting average. Damn. Seen most of that this season. Watched or listened to every Blue Jays game this season. Almost missed one because of Youtube only broadcast.
6-2 for TO bottom of 9th. 2 outs.........

New York hasn't lost a 4 game series to any team since 2003. Guess which team? Yup, the BLUE JAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nate Pearson comes off the IL and gets it done, but not without some nail biting. With two outs, a homer was hit off the freaking foul pole of all things. Then another solo homer. Butt, in the end............... Jays sweep the Yankees 6-4 final score.
Let's go Blue Jays.

The most dangerous team to be playing against in September is a team like Cleveland. Not close to making it in, so they take the role of spoiler. Nothing to lose.
Jays down 3-0 in Cleveland bottom of 2nd inning. Jays defence not doing great. And Robie Ray. WTF? He never pitches well agains the Orioles, but here he is. It doesn't look like he's going to settle down. After sweeping a powerful team like the Yankees to blow it............ nuff said.
Orioles vs Blue Jays......... a lot of tweeting between Robbie Ray and Hyde. Lots of swearing and fowl language. Clear as an Arizona summer day. I guess nobody can beep out the foul language. Dude should be a little more respectful of fans and listeners of the broadcast. Brandon Hyde is an asshole. No doubt about it. Jays can't let him get under your skin. Best way to shut that MoFo is to sweep them in this series on their turf.

A body check in baseball, lol. I hope Gurriel is okay............ that pitcher looks pretty big. Gurriel goes to home plate and gets interfered on the line by the pitcher. 3-2. New pitcher and Semien just hit a double to score another run. 3-3 top of the 6th with two out. Vladdy is up with a runner on second.
