Where's the guy who went for a smoke break yesterday, then Varsho hit a Homer.... Go outside for us :) 

He is going to need to smoke a tank to win this one

[Masterbather]

At least it won't be a Maddux CG.

Your optimism is overwhelming 

 

LOL

[Rynodb1]

Damn it, that wasn't a grand slam. 

[Rynodb1]

Most unnecessary slide of the postseason. Ball was already in his glove. 

[philly30]

Well in 93 which I remember very well the lost game 2 at home and then won the next 2 here, not sure that means a dame thing but whatever

[Alejandro Murphy]

Vlad 1.12 OPS 

Uncle George 1.19 OPS

against Glasnow

He definitely ain’t Yamamoto

Nope. Lol. It was vintage Vladdy. 

[Omar]

Well we got the split at home.  That is a basically what we wanted going in to LA.  Nothing wrong with that.

They didn't cash in game 1 either in the first. But later were able. 

Yamamoto is that good.  This will be his second complete game this post season.  Let's hope not. 

I'm afraid that if this series goes to 7 games, Yama will pitch 2 more games. Our batters had no clue against this guy tonight.

[ComeTogether]

Got beat by great pitching. 

Gotta tip your hat.

Didn't look like they had any answer.  Need to work on it before they see him for game 6. 

[BlueJays]

Regroup in game 3.

In a 7th game the dodgers pen can go fishing, it will be a ll starters

[Slade]

Tip you cap. Great pitched game. We will get them in LA.

So both games 3 days rest then 2 days rest?  He would have had to be the game 1 starter

Maybe that ridiculous cancer halftime show didn't help Gausman 

[ComeTogether]

Yesterday we see how BJ win games.

Today we see how Dodgers win games. 

Obviously, need at least 1 win in LA.  Hopefully more. 

[bluejaysinternNo5]

Yamamoto was great.

Yeah WTF was that

Yama never even broke a sweat. We got nobody that even come handy to going the distance in a game. Let’s get em Monday night. 

[Angrioter]

Yamamoto is the son of Gregg Maddux and Pedro Martinez 

[Pinkfloid]

Tip your cap and move on

[Grant77]

Hat tip to Yamamoto. He pitched one of the greatest games in the history of the World Series, given how historically good the Jays bats have been.

It's a shame that we used our best relievers in an inappropriate situation, but hopefully the extra fatigue won't cost us in a long series. I still feel confident against Glasnow.

Looking back at the early innings, the blown call on Varsho was incredibly impactful, given that Ernie got a hit in his next at-bat, which would have scored at least 2 runs. The inability to cash in with a guy on 3rd and none out also cost us. You have to get these great pitchers early.

Well it helped Yamamoto.

Maybe it's me taking a dump in the 6th. My bad.  Blame me.

I get the cancer stuff but to have the Jonas brothers immediately after that didn't helped.  Let's petition to ban the Jonas brothers?
