Varsho with a dumb base running mistake. :banghead: If you can't hit at least learn how to run the bases Mr. Varsho!

Vladdy staying hot! :onfire:

That's some nice bling-bling on Berrios!

Yeah, this Mario Loperfido kid (not so much a kid he's 25.) isn't ready for the majors yet. Let's hope Bloss turns out to be something good.

Nice win when the team MVP Varsho and The Top 5 Catcher Kirk, go a combined 1 for 8 against the Powerhouse Oakland A's.

I hope Horowitz is legit. Davis Schneider had the hot start last year but has really cooled off into a meh hitter. Let’s hope we actually found something with Horowitz.

They’ve been fun to watch since early june. Jays were top 5 in runs scored that month.

9. Similarly, IF THOU HAST SPENT the entire offseason predicting that thy team will stink, thou shalt not gloat, nor even be happy, shouldst thou turn out to be correct. Realistic analysis is fine, but be a fan first, a smug smarty-pants second.

Let's not get greedy, he stopped playing 4d chess, and actually got on base, that's a win!

I don't get angry as others when dudes make base running mistakes...

Vladdy is unreal right now. Hit streak continues!

I just wish he had been this good earlier in the season; he would have been the best player in baseball!

Extend Guillermo for 20 years before another team poaches him...

Bats go painfully quiet today. We've been disappointed too many times this season with this team.

Other than Vlad, and maybe Horwitz this was a line-up worthy of triple A status. Loperfido looks like another season in the minors would help.

I can always tell when someone doesn’t watch this team very often. They’re an absolute disaster.

If Oakland wins, they will only have 4 less wins than the Jays and their bloated payroll.
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

No problem per Shapiro, gotta maintain organizational stability and consistency

Focus on the Run Prevention by Varsho, and his Defensive Runs saved being the MVP of this great team (while hopefully not hitting below .200 for the year). Also, how Kirk is projecting to be a Top 5 Catcher for 2024. Still a lot to look forward on your end for the rest of the 2024 season, so the vibes should be good for you rooting for your two favourite players.

MVP Varsho ends the no hitter with yet another HR. Imagine what this team would be without him.
