  1. Without two key arms the pitching staff pitched a really nice game today. And the offense scattered the production too. That was a fun one

  2. Good showing from the B crew on the call. Much better than Matt Devlin trying to call baseball

    Ben needs to adjust to calling the game on TV rather than radio. We can see, so you don’t need to be that specific. Always love Joe though

  3. A fun, intense Blue Jays baseball game where they scored >5 runs and ended in a win? I must be dreaming!

  4. Nasty Nate locks it down. Big outing for him considering the team sent him down earlier

  5. HOME RUNS!!

    SIX RUNS!!

    NATE PEARSON SAVE!!

    BARGER FIRST HIT!

    BO HIGH IN THE DUGOUT!!

    THIS GAME HAD EVERYTHING!!

  6. Jays won by scoring more than 5 runs.

    Vladdy multi hit game.

    Big Nate gets a save.

    Bo took a day off.

  7. Vladdy is heating up, Barger’s average exit velocity was 100+ and he has a fucking cannon for an arm, he could be very very special

  8. BRB going to unclench my ass after that 9th inning…

    Seriously though, the curse of 5 is over and we got a little payback for the series last week.  I’ll take that any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

  9. Something to be said about it being Vlad to drive in run number 6. Turner, better with age, fun game tonight boys.

  10. E2H5

    Games like that aren’t the prettiest, but they are the reason I’ll always love this sport.

  11. If Nate continues to bring the Dawg in him he’ll be huge for the Jays pen this year. 😤😤

  12. I saw a lot of Blocked User in the 9th inning but not 1 in the post game thread. How unusual

    Edit: just got my first Reddit Cares message. What a time to be alive

  13. Went to my first game of the year and we break the 5 run curse and have multiple homers in the game.

    Who’s paying for me to go to all the games from now on?
