Did he get enough? He did. His second home run in his many games. And the Blue Jays are back on top. And he gets the bad head out. And what’s he do? Gets it in the air.

Now, George Springer, who as mentioned has already homered in this game, and Springer drills it to deep left center. And he’s done it again.

This is a lot of fun to watch. 413 ft to straightaway center. Deep drive to center field and it is gone. What a shot to straightaway center and George Springer has hit his 20th home run of the season. This is a hitter not afraid to hit deep into the camp. I mentioned the pitch that he took to allow Miles Straw to steal the base and he’s all over the sweeper from Keller because they know he loves to spin the ball along. This one got too much play. This one is hit hard to deep left field. Will it stay fair? It will. And George Springer leads off the ball game with a home run. Last night was number 20. the fourth time he’s done it as a Blue Jay 21 here to start the game off in Pittsburgh and he saw it all.

Springer’s up to 304. Get out of here, Paul. Get out of here. Showering fly ball to left center. And can you believe it? George Springer has done it again.

Here’s one high and deep to left field. And the first hit of the night is a home run for George Springer. Number 28 on the season. And it’s a two-run game. What a season George has had. He has really done a great job. And time and time again. He comes up with a big hit for the Blue Jays to start a rally, get him back in a ball game. He’s done it once again. That’s the first hit the Jays have mustered tonight. And it’s a big one. So a home run to left to start the sixth. So then he hits it high and deep to left and it’s gone. Well, he put that three 0 pitch behind him in a hurry. He launches one for his 29th home run on the season. On the season, Springer fourth in the majors in OPS, sixth in average, seventh in slug. And all those numbers went up a bit after this one. And you know what? He had pretty good pitch. The fast ball was inside a bit and he was able to get to it. And Springer with a drive to deep left field. Adam Frasier going back. That ball is gone. A leadoff shot for George Springer. And the Blue Jays are off and running. Number 30 for Springer at age 36. One- nothing Toronto. The best way to give yourself a birthday present with a is with a birthday bomb. Springer hits it out of the opposite field and it’s gone. Number 31 for George Springer and it is six to nothing. What a beautiful swing. Springer fouled off a couple pitches on the inside part of the plate. Just pulled one foul outside the bag at third and then he stays on this pitch and drives it into the Red Sox bull. So, the Yankees, Blue Jays, and Red Sox all on the same side, and George Springer has left the yard. A fly ball that just kept going and going and going for number 32 on the season. What a day for George Springer to put a wrap on a tremendous season. The Blue Jays are outscoring the Yankees 19 to nothing in a seven inning span. Springer cooks one left center field that’s headed for the seats. It’s gone. Springer’s first hit of the postseason is a home run. A dozen for the Blue Jays. It’s the 20th of George Springer’s postseason career. facing the top hitting team in baseball which showed every bit of that in the division series. And on the first pitch, George Springer lights the fire. New series, same story for this Blue Jays offense. One catch in, it’s one to nothing. Yeah, that jacket, if it gets a lot of use, it’s going to travel and it’s going to travel beyond this series. This one’s a little bit of a shock to your system. When you’re a starting pitcher on the first pitch, you give up a homer. It’s like a quick wakeup call and even though you’re dejected down three. First pitch swinging. This ball’s hit in the air to deep center field and George Springer gets it over the wall for a home run. His extra base impact continues. Third home run of the postseason for Springier. And they’ve got six fast ball outer third up. He was ready for it. Well, his edges 200 in this postseason, but all six hits have gone for extra bases. The wild pitch high ball left field. Arena watches it go. George Springer has his Bista moment. this one deeper into the playoffs. This one could send him to the World Series. It’s not the World Series, but if Joe Carter had that jacket, he’d be wearing that jacket. Now, that jacket has had the biggest moment of the year. One out of two. One of the six hits the Jays have against Snell. Make it seven, his second. And they’ve been ready for that change up. Yeah, they’re getting more aggressive. They felt out the first four innings and then the last really four or five batters have been real aggressive early, more like the Toronto Blue Jays and that change up that they saw a lot of in LA that absolutely crushed him. They’ve made the necessary adjustment. Three and0. Who knows if he can swing his best. He shoots one to right center field. My goodness. George Springer gets the Jays on the board through biting pain. He’s got so much adrenaline trying to muster up and when you make contact it’s a lot better than when you swing and miss and three he’s sold out. That’s a huge run for the Blue Jays fighting through it. Leading off the eight chopping it down the line and sneaking it into right field. Pomez hustles to the ball to hold him to a single. He says, “I don’t know, but it’ll do.” And the tying run comes up. I mean, this is an emergency hack and a great one if the Blue Jays score in this inning. Just by Freddy Freeman. There’s no way you can play him close to the line there in that situation. This is 3-1 to Springer. Here’s a fast ball. Scorched to left center field. A leadoff hit for George Springer. Incredible. Biting pain on every swing, finding a way. And a leadoff hit in game seven. Short and quick to the ball. That’s what Springer has to be. He cannot afford to swing and miss. It hurts. But you know what? He says, “I don’t care.” You see Justin Obski beginning to loosen. Springer loops a bone to left field and he’s two for two. That is four for six since returning from injury. Well, sometimes when you’re injured, you do less and you can do more. And what Joe Carter said when he was trying to hit the home run, but this still was amazing to me that you could be almost out of this series and then fight your way back in and get four hits offki to Smith who’s got no play. Mayhem right now at the Rogers Center coming from the double play to a line drive off the pitcher’s Thanks.

George Springer enjoyed a terrific regular season before more October heroics catapulted the Toronto Blue Jays to their first World Series appearance since 1993!
