  1. Kind of ditched my after gym cardio today. The boys made sure that I remain on track.

  2. Sure, Vlad missed the cycle. But wins are still fun, especially against the Orioles.

  3. Vladdy has been absolutely unreal (10 HR in  20 games) Single shy of a cycle as well 

    Gausman really settled down after the 3rd inning and nice to see the Jays actually scoring runs for him the last few games 

    Great series win against a good Baltimore team holy hell were those insurance runs massive lol

  4. Only a minor heart attack at the end nothing major…..

    Seriously it’s never easy with this team

  5. Shapiro and Atkins must be relieved that Vlad Jr. didn’t get an opportunity to hit for the cycle at the bottom of the 9th.

  6. DFA Zack Pop both for being bad but also not being bad enough to give Vladdy his cycle chance

  7. Not often you see a pitcher go 8 innings with more walks than strikeouts.

    Good start for Gausman tonight.

  8. Extend Vladdy

    DFA the whole freaking bullpen (not really, but yikes)

    Still, a win is a win.

  9. Great to see as Vladimir Guerrero Jr. joins Damaso Garcia (1982 & 1983) as the only players in Blue Jays history with multiple career 20-game hit streaks

  10. Beautiful to see Vladdy being comfortable enough to do the post game interview in English, and hitting over .500 during this streak.

  11. Remember the articles earlier when Vladdy was hitting .270 and for very little power saying “ This is probably the player Vladdy is and that’s okay. I love it

  12. I can’t believe we literally have a bullpen made of Chad Green and Create-a-Wrestlers and Zach Pop still needs to be DFA’d comparatively

  13. I’d like to praise Vladdy being interviewed without his interpreter! He’s getting more and more confident here! Extend this man!

  14. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is very good at baseball and should be a Toronto Blue Jay for the entirety of his career

  15. Vladdy should be a Blue Jay until the day he retires, then he should be awarded ownership of the organization

  16. I left the game at the top of the 9th, and im glad I left then so that the score is always 7-2 in my mind. also, seeing the vladdy home run live was electric 🙂

  17. If we look at head to head records, we’re basically as good as the yankees and orioles this year
