Springer with his first hit as a Jay. Nice.

Why are Robbie Ray's pants so tight?

Lots of Braves fans at the game. Kind of annoying.

Sucks when the best player in the franchise's history is a piece of garbage.
I tend to agree with knowing that’s the other side of the line and letting the grey area figure itself when the time comes. I guess when I hear so many stories of athletes many do tow that fine line when it comes to their private lives. Maybe not to the point of rape, but definitely entitled. I’ve even heard from a couple people about a past Jays GM hitting on her where no just didn’t mean no. I personally don’t like the idea of making an example of anyone, but rather setting a precedent. Any new players coming up should know they’ll be held accountable.

Bo should be swapping position with Semien. It’d do both better. I know the Jays figure they’d have a more valuable player in Bo being a SS, but he doesn’t have the range and I don’t think that will develop. Part of it is his size which he can’t control. His strength he can. But he doesn’t have to change anything if he’s a second baseman.

I also love the feel of interleague play. Players and pitchers not that familiar with each other so it’s more about raw ability.

Espinal’s marvellous defensive play has drawn my attention to the fact that he’s wearing the wrong hat.

Kirk hits his 2nd 2-run shot of the night.

I get the feeling that Jansen's days as a starting catcher are numbered.

Kirk>>>>>>Jansen. Nice knowing you Danny, but a 0.04 is not big league material. Sorry.

Now he’s wearing the same hat as everyone else.

Jansen has really turned into a solid catcher, and I do think he's a big positive for the pitching staff. It's really hard to believe how bad he is at hitting now though. Pretty crazy.

It'd be nice if he'd find the bat again so whe the Jays inevitably have to move on from him, maybe they can get something in a trade.

Attaboy Ray. Keep pumping that fastball in the zone buddy. You got a nice big lead to work with. No walks.
