Got to attend my first Raptors game as credentialed media last night. Wrote about Orlando Robinson finishing off his first 10-day with the team and how his game fits with what Toronto is doing. For @Sportsnet sportsnet.ca/nba/article/or…
Finally got a good result on his softest-hit ball of the night
Addison Barger’s two outs today: a 106 mph liner and an 111 mph liner

After struggling for a six-start stretch, Adam Macko turned in a good outing with triple-A Buffalo today

Vladimir Guerrero Jr has an American League... and career... low 11.3% chase rate in July 👀👀👀
The Blue Jays are at 94.2 per cent playoff odds and 6.2 per cent WORLD SERIES odds on FanGraphs this morning. Hope they believe in Daryl Morey’s 5 per cent philosophy and go all in (as all in as MLB front offices go).
A Kevin Gausman-Tarik Skubal pitching matchup is lined up for Game 3 of Toronto’s series in Detroit Saturday. Must-see TV.
How many games are the Blue Jays leading the Yankees by now?
Blue Jays are now 7–3 against the Yankees this season, securing the season series. Big time.
My lord the contrast between the Blue Jays and Yankees defence is staggering. It’s easy to take competent (or better) fielding for granted; this series has been a serious lesson to that effect.

Davis Schneider’s 4.59 pitches per plate appearance is first in MLB (min. 100 plate appearances). The 14-pitch showdown with Rodon Monday certainly helped.
Like the decision to have Schneider lead off against a lefty considering his high OBP and pitches per plate appearance (4.59) and Clement’s recent struggles.
Let's win the series! #lightsupletsgo
Floored by this. A truly exemplary piece of storytelling, appreciate everyone who's been recommending it.

Compared to April, it is incredible how packed the Rogers Centre is right now. Spectacular atmosphere.
