Gotta keep the pedal floored what a run were on both hitting and pitching. The confidence has to be sky high tomorrows game is huge imagine taking it and having a chance of sweeping Yanks in this series !! Go Jays go !!
Matz vs Cole and they win game 2? Game on biat%$&!!!!!!
The guy they have on the bump tomorrow hasn't given up a run yet. Could be a tough customer.
Meaningful September baseball. This is what we’ve hoped for.
75 grade fastball. The bats gotta be ready.Quote:

Somehow? Really? They have won 10 of their last 11 games...and the last 5 wins are against teams they are chasing. That is how they are gaining traction. They are only 2.5 games back of the Yankees for home field advantage in the Wild card game.Quote:

Yeah y'all have been winning games I'll give y'all that but y'all have to win these next 2 games to sweep the Yankees and if y'all do that then y'all have the Orioles next in a 3 game set which y'all should be able to win those games easilyQuote:

But I mean Vladdy Jr is basically carrying this team on his back...well not just him but also Bichette too
Montoyo putting Dickerson at the top of the order was a good move! Kirk is heating up ! Semien is gonna get a major pay day next year.
It isn’t just a one man show. Semien and Ray have been as important as Vlad and Bichette.Quote:

The entire starting rotation is exceptional right now. Kirk is finally healthy. Hernandez has had another really solid year. Gurriel has been hot for the past month... The whole team has played well pretty much all year with the exception of the bullpen. Thankfully that has stabilized a bit finally
The one good thing (knock on wood) is he hasn't pitched deep in games. Gotta run that count up early.Quote:

Teo has driven in the 2nd most runs in baseball since the ASG with 45 RBI (in the last 50 games) while slashing .284/.335/.557 with 14 HR's. For the season he is slashing .319/.375/.500 with RISP.
Not to mention Kirk. He is now slashing .290/.362/.524 this year (with 7 HR's in 45 games) and .310/.369/.586 over the last 28 days (19 games).
That is how they are scoring runs at an elite level.
Then you have Ray, Ryu, Berrios, Manoah and Matz. One of the best rotations in the AL.
but yeah, this is just Vladdy carrying them...and Bo.
Sweep would be big here.
No, no he's not. We're getting lights out starting pitching. Marcus Semien and Teoscar Hernandez are having monster seasons. Fun fact. Marcus Semien needs 5 more homeruns to hit the most ever by a 2B.Quote:
