I'm gonna start using that front leg kick in my golf swing.
Lol I have too much movement in my golf swing which is why my scores are all over the place. I often make the best and the worst shots of any group I play with, and the bad shots outnumber the good shots. Sure I hit the ball far for my size and age, but I pay for it in penalty strokes and additional shots punching out of the rough.

Jays will lose both games, Manoah the scheduled game 1 starter has a case of the "Runs", Jays hopeful he can start second game.
They are losing at the moment with Mitch White on mound, who was suppose to start the 2nd game. Bullpen game if Manoah can't make 2nd game.

TB plays the game the right way, "Small ball" and Base stealing, Jays are always swiinging for fences.
Time for someone other than Bo to come up with some big hits. White pitched ok. They have 2 innings to overcome 4 run deficit.

Will Guerrero ever get a big hit? The most overrated player in baseball....but he is having fun...and he is a good cheerleader and gatorade dunker.

Someone said it best last year: "The Jays may have the best 3 or 4 players in baseball, but the Rays have the right 25 players"

The Rays are built a like a lot of the good NL teams from the late 70s and 1980s. The 1982 Cardinals are perhaps the most prototypical example. Good pitching + a lot of players who make frequent contact, have a lot of speed, good in the field and do all the small things correctly. Only one position player from that team in Hall of Fame and he has a career batting average of .262 and only 28 career home runs. They stole a ton of bases and kept finding new ways to manufacture runs. It was fun to watch them even though my Expos often got burned in the process. I expect more teams to be built that way in the future with the pending rule changes.

The second game won by the Jays tonight was an example of a manager pulling all the right strings.

When he cleared the bench by pinch hitting and running it changed the game.

As a Yankee fan the trading of Willie McGee to the cards always grates on me.......Him and Vince Coleman would steal a ton of bases and cover that outfield like a blanket.

Vlady is getting his hits but he's still stuck on the first milestone jinx. I hope he does it the next two games, he might hit a bunch after that. Saying he's over=rated shows a complete lack of knowledge about baseball. That's like saying Aaron Judge is over-rated because he didn't hit over 30 hrs for three seasons.

Manoah, what a beast! Can't be easy throwing a quality start with a burning ass hole!

I didn't know that all WC playoff games will be played at the home field of the higher seeded team, so it is imperative that the Jays finish as the top seeded WC team, cuz they will lose against TB at the Trop if they end up plying them.

What, Menoah had Sinhalese lamb curry for lunch?

The pressure is off, Vlady hit his hundredth dinger. Now it time for him to make like Jim Ross with the Rays kissing his big ol dimpled butt. Hope Hazel Mae takes another soaker.

Holy fuck, it was more serious than I thought! Fortunately Gravol and fluids fixed the problem.

Had he waited further, he may have had a Tony Soprano moment...it may have been the chicken vindaloo.
