Keep it going Guerrero. More homers take us to the promised land.

In a way it's good that Yesavage didn't have his splitter in game 1. It's still a pitch the Dodgers haven't seen yet. They could be in for a surprise if Yesavage can bring his stuff.

Huge win.. This team is resilient.

Vladdy had a noticeable limp running the bases last night. Hopefully, he'll be okay.

Love that we're putting up a fight and have a legit shot. Can't ask for anything more.

It's a three game series, and we have home field advantage for most of it. It's going to be tough, but you gotta like where we're at.

One thing I did notice though, is the quality of the wins. The Jays won comfortably last night, and blew the Dodgers out in Game 1.

The Dodgers wins have all felt MUCH closer. Game 2 was tied until the 7th in a pitchers' duel. Game 3 was... well game 3 was game 3.

When one team is struggling for their wins, and the other is taking them easily, that's probably a good sign. Our Pythagorean record right now is 2.7-1.3 for the Jays.

Run differential is important, right?

Thought, if you win this game, do you put Scherzer up against Yamamoto knowing you probably don't win. And save Gausman for game 7?

Stimied Ohtani at the plate. Dodgers guys can’t string hits together and require the long bomb to score. Let’s see what they do with their lineup today since Roberts said he’ll probably make a change. Pages is probably out - basically an auto out. How will that affect their defense.

Scherzer would be on 3 days' rest, they wouldn't do it.

Barger is not gonna start in either scenario against that kind of LHP. The only question is whether Straw gets in there again over Lukes and the answer to that is probably yes.

**** right, I thought he pitched a day earlier (4 days rest).

I still wonder if the idea hold merit (even if it isn't Scherzer). Why waste Gausman on a game like that when you're facing someone who's been near unhittable.
