The start time for tonight's game is delayed due to inclement weather per Os via Blair & Barker
First pitch is scheduled for 8:15 ET, and the tarp is being removed from the field now per sho Alli on the Jays radio broadcast!
There’s time yet for a Montoyo sweep tonight. Let’s go Blue Jays!
The most meh kind of sweep!
For me, the most meh sweep is a 2-game 'sweep'. That's just winning a 2-game series in my books. (Sweep must be over and above a win :)
I forgot about those!
I feel like Vladdy swings at first pitches more often than 80-90% of batters do
lol, 3 up 3 down on a check swing.....
Alright! 2-0.
Nice to strike first!
(Edit: well that aged well /s)
Yeah. Down by 2... Ugh.
Oh damn. We better win the series with the Guardians 😓
So, I was wrong about who our best starter by ERA would be this series :P. I said Kikuchi, Gausman, Berríos. But it was Gausman (3.00), Kikuchi (3.86), Berríos (7.50). Notably, Kikuchi pitched only 4.2 innings compared to the others' 6.0
I respect Cavan for his approach there after getting 2 BS strike calls. He didn't turn his head or be demonstrative, but he did look at the ump briefly and say that "that was up," if I can read lips correctly.
Os fans booing now when the strike zone isn't 30% bigger lol
