Astros attempting to help us out again. Leading the Yank 6-2 in the 9th . . .

This is kind of exciting. This is baseball.

There is literally nobody at that TOR/TEX game. What the hell.

There is literally nobody at that TOR/TEX game. What the hell.

Must be a high school football game tonight.

Delino DeShields looks a lot like Delino DeShields.

I see Justin Verlander is carrying a no-hitter into the 7th. He already has 2 in his career.

One of those was against the Blue Jays. Is how I justify putting that in this thread.

Because Smoak hit that home run. Get it? Like, smoakin?

Yap.

Edwin Encarnacion had an .865 OPS before tonight's game (with a thin .267 BABIP).

He's on my MLB Top 10 underrated players list.

Blue Jays considerately let me get to bed a bit early last night. Noice.



Edwin now has a 21 game hit streak. Based on my previous comments, I guess I have to allow that it's okay for announcers to talk about it now.

Problem is they start talking about these things when it gets to like 5 games. But okay, this time, unlike the other kajillion 5-game hit streaks they have pointlessly babbled about, this one has actually gotten somewhere.

If you consider being 35 games away from the record "somewhere."

 

[Mudcat]

Jays had won 21 of their last 25 but, oh well, lost today

6-2 for the road trip ---> it is acceptable.



Encarnacion extended his hit streak to 22 games - the longest one in MLB this season.

 

[Matty]

I turned off the TV and went to bed after the grand slam last night.

That's how confident I am in my team.

No chit chat about how the Jays lost last night?




They lost to a Little League 3 run HR thanks to Joey Bats.

First place Jays kicking off a 9 game home stand RIGHT NOW.

 

[Mudcat]

I wonder what kind of attendance they can draw for the stand. 360K + ???

And the beat goes on for double E.

RBI double in the first.

Guy has bad hands. Fokked up knuckles. He's had fingers taped together for weeks.

Does nothing but make solid contact.
