A dude with a 12.5ERA comes in and the Jays go quietly in order on 10 pitches. Cool cool cool cool cool.

I know right? He hasn't hit a homer since, like, the 2nd inning!

Nobody would be saying that because it would save a double play. That's just basic.
And the defense would always sacrifice a run to get two outs early in the game. That's also basic.

These guys look like idiots at the plate right now. Just complete and total morons.

Im gonna have to tune out. I'm just getting frustrated which isn't fun, which is weird because they are actually winning.

not necessarily - in a one-run game, Donaldson might have gone home

I know he never looked at Springer, but Springer doesn't know that until it is too late - he has to go on contact or not

Donaldson is not coming home in the 3rd inning.

That was really unlucky for Espinal, just needed a little less on it for it to drop. So close to 2 more.

Humongous win. Win tomorrow and you're still in this. Big series against the Yankees to decide everything. Doesn't get much better than this.

Well that would appear to be almost it, unfortunately.

Really need the Red Sox and Jays to win tomorrow.

Would put the Jays one game behind the Yankees going into the head to head. Then if the Jays can win 2 of 3 against the yanks they would be tied going into the final series with the Jays playing Baltimore and the Yanks playing the Rays.
