How bout them Jays!

[Mudcat]

Old school double-header at Yankee Stadium on Saturday with the second game more-or-less immediately following the first and the same fans hanging around if they want.

i.e. - not 2 gates.

I wonder if that's the first one of those in the bigs this year.

That is a lot of fokkin baseball in one sitting. Not sure I'd have the intestinal fortitude.

No it's not. The Cubs-Phillies are doing it today. Az-Colorado played one in the last week also.

Unfortunately for me, my parents' 60th anniversary celebration is smack dab in the middle of all that tomorrow. :

Very poor foresight on their part.

Edwin Encarnacion now has a 40 game on-base streak.

fyi

 

[Mudcat]

A 5-0 lead is nice. Also nice - Severino has thrown 51 pitches thru 2 innings.

With a double header tomorrow, it would be nice to put max pressure on the bullpen.

You know what the record is for an on-base streak?

Most people don't but I'm here to tell you.

84. Ted Williams.

I bet his cryogenically frozen head is sweating it out right now.

Donaldson tied a Jays season record for hitting the most HR in the first inning of a game. 13, tied with Batista

 

[Mudcat]

Now my question there is: are we talkin' Tony Batista? - who holds the record for HR's by a Blue Jays 3rd baseman in a season (although Donaldson is closing in.)

Or Jose Bautista - who has the overall franchise single season home run record.

I really don't need to see a graphic (top right of screen) that shows me defensive positioning.

They're (MLB Network) just trying too hard.

5 HR's for Jays

5 game win streak at Yankee Stadium.

Jose Bautista, I need to learn how to spell.

All that passion for the game gets exhausting.
