One of the reasons that they have had trouble in NY in the past is that they would chase pitches. Maybe it was trying too hard, but they would swing at balls and make things easier for opposing pitchers.

This season - and especially lately - they have been very patient at the plate, forcing pitchers to throw strikes.

That is what they will need to do to win this series - force the Yankee pitchers to come over the plate with fastballs. If they do that, they'll destroy.

A new career best for Josh Donaldson in home runs - he hits his 30th to get the Jays in flight!

Have I mentioned that I love Josh Donaldson?

So he just pokes that one out over the right field wall.

Why not?

Good first but would have been nice to get those extra 2 across the plate.

either it hit the fan and he's out, or it didn't and it's a double

so they give him the homer

Or it was over and butterfingers knocked it back in play.

It was a home run that bounced off a fan out of the field of play. That's a textbook call if they're sure it was out of the park
