Here's a stat for ya: Josh Donaldson's HR in the 3rd which hit off the facing of the 5th deck ---> it left his bat at 115.7 miles per hour.

That is the second fastest a ball has left someone's bat in the majors this year.

I ain't lyin'. I mean, I don't actually know. But that's what someone said.

I ain't lyin' about hearing it.
 
The Tiger's starter yesterday - Matt Boyd - he was a Blue Jay up until the David Price deal.

In his last appearance at Rogers Center, he faced 8 batters and did not get a single out. I wonder if that was the worst appearance in the history of the world.
 
Blue Jays 2015 Run Differential: +170

The next best team in baseball Cardinals: +128



:guitar:


The 3rd best team in baseball Astros: +98



:guitar::guitar:

yet the Blue Jays record would only be good enough for 4th place in the NL central if they were transplanted there

winning 15-1 gets you one win

same as winning 2-1
 
Happened to see Frank Thomas gabbing about the American League East yesterday, and he predicted the Blue Jays would take it. In explaining his rationale, he made reference to the BJ's having 4 MVP candidates.

I think I can guess what he is thinking for 3 (Donaldson, Bautista, Encarnacion?) but I am damn curious who he was thinking for the 4th.



I never really heard Frank Thomas talk much before. Maybe it's just a case of him being a blithering idiot? :dunno:
