Love how Bautista just gets thrown into this silly admonishment too.

I'm not sure I get the rationale that Donaldson just stand there when a pitcher is intentionally throwing at him.

What was Dinakdson's stare down and spit at the Twins bench all about after his homer in the 1st?

He was jawing at their bench yesterday after his first at bat and got tossed because the ump thought it was directed at him. I guess it was a continuation of that without an idiotic umpire in the way.

You have a problem with that? He also wasn't the only guy. Martin was also pretty pissed and yelling ****.

I'm not comfortable with a late two run lead against the 10 win Twins. We need insurance runs unless Osuna is going to give us two innings.

Yep, damn that Bautista for defending his teammate who just got thrown at twice.

Well considering we played almost the exact same game for the first 7 innings yesterday compared to this, I'm not too comfortable either.

I'd like to see him stay on the field just a wee bit longer. I think you still have time to do that closer to the deadline.

What is jays avg and ops with risp? Always seems like they crap the bed in those situations, but it could just be a bias in my part

Saunders made the mistake of hitting a double that inning instead of a single or HR. He should have known.
