Our pitching staff is elite. The offence has received so much negative attention this year. The pitching deserves to get that much positive attention, and then some.
Hoepfully Ryu can make his next start. He looked terrific tonight. Then the bullpen was consistently good, but for the excitement with Hicks in the 9th. Even then, he got out of it.
Finally 14 games over .500.
And lastly..
**Cavan Thomas Biggio (/ˈkævɪn/ KAV-in; born April 11, 1995) is an American professional baseball utility player for the Toronto Blue Jays of Major League Baseball (MLB).**
Jano would make a great goaltender. Bro bailed out Hicks countless times…Good win though 🙏🫡
Jamie said my oh my
u/3luejays ^(you did this)
This season is all about the CLENCH
Very great to have a non-stressful end to the win!

Hicks throwing anything but 100+ was almost disastrous plus that ump strike three missed call. Why can’t these games be stress free 😭
The Cavan Biggio game.
I hope it’s nothing serious with Ryu
4 on a row LFG
Springer is starting to heat up again
We can’t get Romano back fast enough
Welcome to your monthly “Cavan Biggio we’re sorry” game.
[I might just be the biggest clown on this sub](https://www.reddit.com/r/Torontobluejays/comments/15kvkc9/game_thread_august_7_toronto_blue_jays_6350/jv8cjh7/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&utm_content=1&utm_term=22&context=3)
I enjoyed the Cavan game!
“After video review – Vlad’s hat is backwards and his jersey is untucked. The game is over.”
Biggio single-handedly getting a W with his bat and his glove, like we all predicted.
* Dominican pitcher faces off against American hitter in regional American city
* U-S-A! U-S-A! chants from the local American crowd
* Dominican pitcher throws pitch, American hitter hits it out for a home run
* local American crowd, shocked, falls silent
* American hitter circles the bases as his team cheers him on
* Dominican pitcher hangs his head in shame
* angry noises begin to be heard as the local American crowd becomes upset
lol baseball
Babe Schneider fan club members get in here. I only caught the 8th and 9th. How was the mustache’d madman today?
**CAVAN THOMAS BIGGIO, REMEMBER THE NAME**
Where were you when ~~Davis Schneider~~ Cavan Biggio saved the season?
4-0 in the Davis “Babe” Schneider stache era
Not being sure when Hicks is going to spike it into the ground makes for a stressful inning.
+1 WAR for Cavan.
Cavan Biggio single-handedly won this game for us.
A big day for Cavan Biggio!
Plus a big thanks to Jano!
Hope Ryu is okay.
I’m impartial to any Cavan game because he’s such a hard worker. Love to see it.
Also, 6 bullpen guys across 5 innings giving up just 1 run is huge
I love this for Cavan “wiggly” Biggio 💙
**CAVAN MFING BIGGIO IS A BLUE JAY**
Every now and then Cavan reminds us of why he was so highly-rated coming through the system. I’m hoping he puts these last couple seasons behind him and plays like he did in 2019/2020. He has the tools to be an everyday player, just needs to find the consistency.
The Cavan game
###This win brought to you in part by Ryu, Springer, Vladdy, Biggio and Jano
On another note, Cavan is a very well-spoken dude. My oh my. I could listen to him talk baseball for hours.
Hope Ryu is all good, but what a great start by him.
Ryu looked so good today, I genuinely thought I’d never see that version of him again. Really hope he’s not seriously hurt
Cavan Biggio is a Blue Jay!
After Ryu’s injury, Cavan stepped up and said, “It’s Cavan time”, and Biggioed all over the Guardians.
13-1 wins are nice but it’s very reassuring to see us go against a guy pitching lights out and stay right in the game with our own pitching and defense, finally break through in the later innings and hang on for a close win.
Bonus kudos to Biggio, he’s facing a loss of playing time with the Schneider callup, still comes in and makes two huge offensive and defensive plays and plays a huge role in the win.
