What did we do down there that cursed us so bad in that stadium? God damn.

I’m not sure ‘statement games’ exist, but if this wasn’t one, I don’t know what is.
Leaps over both 50 plateaus, first game ever with 3/2, and 10(!!)rbi? How often has 10 rbi happened?
I searched the box score just to see it in one place.
It’s unbelievable.
Edit to add: Ohtani’s 10rbi is the 17th time a player had 10 or more rbi in a game.

I don’t recall this, but ex-Jay Mark Whiten holds the record for most rbi in a game In ML history with 12 while he played for the Cards. Shares the record with another dude who wasn’t a Jay.

Yeah that's an all-time great game
Ohtani is insane
Still annoyed he went to the Dodgers

Hate that place more than any other stadium in the league. Way worse than the Big O ever was and that was a shitty stadium.

 

[PanniniClaus]

I would like to see them let Rodriguez get near 100 pitches today. See what he can do with it.

Kirk with a big throw to get us out of the 1st.

Were there any other options?

The only other real option that was reported was Toronto.

How are they going to ditch Springer? He is not good anymore.

If he plays like that next season it's going to be a massive problem. Right now he plays like a bench player but because of his contract he's on the field every night. The team is better with him on the bench imo. It's honestly impressive Vlad will get to 100 RBIs considering the leadoff hitter did not get on base the whole year,

He has played like this for 2 seasons in a row now. I have no reason to believe 2025 will be much better than 2023 and 2024.

Fatty with a triple! LOL!!!

And he did not even start running before he was 2/3 of the way to first base.

I never really believed that, Canada just a small market to these guys

If I remember correctly (and, to be honest, that whole period is a bit of a blur) Toronto actually had a similar deal on the table ($700 million with a bunch of deferrals) and Ohtani was leaning that direction until the Dodgers matched it.

What's scary to think about is how long they'll let him be the leadoff hitter next season. Mayve they can find a bad contract swap of sorts. Who knows but that contract has aged way worse than anyone expected and I did not have high hopes for it from the beginning. We'll see how it all plays out. I think he's on the team next year and they walk away from the last year of his deal

If he was healthy for the entirety of '21 the contract looks pretty fair in all honesty. Natural decline was always expected, but at least he's not a total waste and seems to have been foundational in building a great clubhouse culture. It could have looked a lot worse that's for sure.

 

[Suntouchable13]

All the hitting coaches have to be fired, except for Hague probably. Team cant hit the fastball. What are they teaching them? Embarrassing

This will go down as one of the worst signings in Blue Jays history. I never was a fan, and I knew that contract wasn't going to age well. Springer's body has been through a lot in his career.

They better not have him lead off next season if they are serious about contending.

 

[canucksfan]

What a dumb play. Can't telegraph a bunt like that.

 

[aingefan]

Buck finally makes the Junior Felix comp to Clase. I’ve been waiting for it, one of my fave Jays of his generation.
The main difference I remember was glove size.
Felix’s seemed to be about half the size of his body.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Davis is just not a MLB bat. Way too many Ks.

 

[Eyedea]

That was nice of Cash to give Vladdy his 100th RBI

 

[jetsforever]

100 RBI for Vladdy!

 

[Suntouchable13]

When Ernie couldn't score, I knew it was over. A run short against TB, what else is new?

 

[MK78]

Could have used a HOMER in any of these 3 1-run losses eh?

I'd love you people to argue this one.

The Rays have LESS homeruns than the Jays and have one of the best 1-Run records this season. In fact the top 5 teams in HRs have worse 1-run records than the Rays.
