A day without watching our bullpen is like a day without acid reflux.

Shh 🤐 Don’t jinx it - JS will be in a cold sweat and take Gausman out for anything against him hit over 40mph.

Gausman is just unfair right now, no one even putting it in play at 40mph - JS might need to take him out for getting into anything worse than a 0-2 count.

It feels closer than this though, doesn’t it? I was wondering whether the Yankees sweeping the Red Sox helps put Boston out of it, given we still have to play them. But ultimately probably better 2-1 Yankees and we win against Red Sox.

i agree it feels a lot closer. Jays still need to play 0.500 ball

but if we can go 10 - 7 (including todays game), Yankees would have to go 14-3 and Soxs 13-2

This team is gotta dig in and get it done!

They've stumbled lately.  Best case scenario is they're out of contention and disinterested by the time the Jays play them

id rather them still be in the race. Teams playing for nothing are usually the dangerous ones

[G-Snarls]

Keep adding on

Yes!!!

[Omar]

Nathan Lukes is looking like Rod Carew in the box.

[neverbeenhere]

Vladdy can't hit 

[Jesusindashed]

Ump screwing the jays this inning 

[Jesusindashed]

This team takes so many meatballs in hitters counts . Unreal

Yea, he only hits it about 35% of the time of late.  Awful.

[Grant77]

Gausman has a chance at a Maddux. Have we seen one in the majors this year?

[G-Snarls]

f*** yes Varsho

[Jays24]

The temporary demise of our offensive lineup was greatly exaggerated lol

One of the rare guys where the defensive stats say they're fine, average at worst if not just barely above, but by god does the eye test make him look like a butcher out there. Just horrific misplay one after another this game.

Gausman has gotta be the best signing of the Shatkins era right?

Correct.  He's had several other great signings (Robby Ray + Semien), but they were short term deals and obviously the Springer deal is up there as well.

[Jaysman]

Nance up in the BP - Sit down Tommy!

[keggy]

Why is IKF not hitting here?

[Jays24]

Wanna see Babe hit a HR here and then give JS the "Suck It" sign lol

Number are misleading, he does not get base hit in high leverage situations

Tarik Skubal did, a 13 K Maddux earlier this season where he hit 103 on the gun on his last pitch of the game in the 9th inning.
