I always feel balls being pulled are undersold in terms of distance.  There's no way that Kirk's ball where he got robbed of a HR was anywhere near Bargers in terms of distance. 

Given that it was listed at 407, it must have been close to dead Centre (I didnt see the PA so im guessing). 

CF is already 70 feet further away than RF or LF corners. Optically, balls that are pulled and go over 400 feet always look like they are hit further since they clear the walls by a mile and end up in the 2nd or 3rd deck. CF shots that measure 410-415 barely clear the top of the wall. Its just optics.

#1 SS on the free agent market for this summer, I think he gets more than this on the open market

That’s $20m more than Adames received and I think Adames is more valuable than Bo.

[G-Snarls]

Holy s*** boys 

The runs!

Who is pitching for jays tomorrow?

[Omar]

Will the A's have any arms left to pitch tomorrow?

[Jays24]

Kirk just getting robbed by all sorts of black guys tonight lol.  

[Masterbather]

Chad Green....

[Jays24]

Will Varsho's arm heal as the season goes along?  That noodle arm can become a major issue down the road.  

[Omar]

The bottom of the lineup producing makes for a well rounded attack and makes the games fun to watch.  Series win secured.  LET'S GO BLUE JAYS!!

[neverbeenhere]

good game

[Masterbather]

Good enough.

Yeah now we know why he started off in AAA

[Masterbather]

Run differential down to -10. Could have been single digits but Chad Green happened.

[Masterbather]

Does anyone actually drink Gatorade during the game? That thing's always full

I was hoping his arm would slowly begin improving but the way he throws the ball still looks so awkward.  Hope it gets better.

Our xBA was .473 this game, which is higher than last night's game. Just hitting rockets all over the place, honestly the 11 runs undersells how on fire the offense was tonight. Denzel Clarke probably single handedly kept us from scoring 15+ runs.

That guy is something else out there, good ol' Canadian boy.

Probably doesn’t get better til next season. Takes a long time to work up the strength after a shoulder surgery
