#Road to 12-0 starts NOW. GOOD STUFF BOYS; 11 MORE TO GO
6 Runs on 9 hits. Can I get a very nice?
Nice save Ro…Hicks
Bad news is, both Houston and Texas won. Seattle’s probably not losing either.
Joe the one man show?
Useless fucking Mets
#Number 1
**Génesis Cabrera** since being acquired by the Blue Jays after the Cardinals DFA him:
* 16.1 IP, 0.00 ERA (3 R / 0 ER), 2.29 FIP, .107 OBA, 0.49 WHIP
* 2 Walks (2 IBB), 1 HBP, 6 Hits & 12 Strikeouts.
* 1 Win & 4 Holds in 18 GP.
**The Blue Jays have 2 more years of control on him after this season.**
WE MIGHT NEVER LOSE AGAIN!
Ernie Clement and Davis Schneider being our starting 3rd baseman and Shortstop to lead us to a victory probably wasn’t on your bingo cards at the beginning of the season.
The jays need to go 9-3 in the next 12. Sucks they used one of their three losses in the first inning of this game 🙁
Give Joe Siddall the ice bucket
No gain. Rangers made a 9th inning comeback
Good game today but if anything our playoff odds are going down
Bo is benched with an injury…while Davis Schneider goes 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI as the Toronto Blue Jays win 6-3 against the Washington ~~Expos~~ Nationals.
The barrel roll game 😌
Guys, baseball is fun! 😀
[Takin’ care of business, every day!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCIUf8eYPqA&t=61s)
The road to the playoffs starts with one.
Nice game.
Im glad we finally got gausman some run support. But doesnt look like we are making up any ground today sadly. We really need to run the tables the next 11 games. Minimum 10 of the next 11.
Good bounce back W!
Mets you are worse than the Sacramento Kings, Detroit Lions and Buffalo Sabres combined.
The Mets cannot stop metsing
It must be Christmas because Gausman finally got run support and didn’t have to carry an almost perfect game to get a win
LMAO “I don’t want to talk about it”
🤣🤣🤣🪦
Danny Jansen trying not to laugh as he anticipates Vladdy coming with the icebath…
and
“I don’t wanna talk about it” about the slide 😂😂
LOL Hazel asked about the roll 🤣
Congrats to Gausman 200 strikeouts this season.
Congrats to today’s MVP Jano having his career high HR.
Good to see Clement as SS. He did a much better than Espinal and DeJong.
The Toronto Blue Jays are UNDEFEATED since /u/sir-pounce-of-alot [pledged to donate $10 to an animal shelter for each win](https://www.reddit.com/r/Torontobluejays/comments/163wkl7/game_thread_august_28_washington_nationals_6170/jy4zo8t/).
/u/sir-pounce-of-alot pls tell me where to donate so that I can match you. I tried to give $20 to a cat outside but it grabbed it and was later seen with multiple cans of tuna and a dime bag of catnip
You see Jon, it shouldn’t have taken 2 of your everyday starters to go down before you had to play Babe Schneider.
Don’t overthink it, just play Davis Schneider every single game
I know there’s a few frank the tank fans on here lol. Trevor “I ain’t GOTT shit” / Trevor “ForGOTT how to pitch” cost us a chance to move closer to the Rags
Is Ken Reid an ass or does he just play up that personality when on camera? He always seems so grumpy
Texas was down 3-2 with 2 outs in the 9th and they won. That stings
That was a fun game
Much needed win

Sometimes I feel like /r/Torontobluejays is like a convention hall in vegas that gets booked by the International Astronomy Society and the Flat Earthers Around The Globe collective on back to back days except the calendar is not shared in advance so everyone shows up just in case they end up in charge of the hall
