Here is a comprehensive list of the best tweets from the Blue Jays series vs the Baltimore Orioles:
On things that we may have not noticed before, but should be pointed out:
Maybe it’s just me but Trey Mancini looks like an extra from every baseball movie I’ve ever seen. pic.twitter.com/Pr7KDCDea1

On things we have come to expect:
Is it really a Blue Jays-Orioles game unless Buck Showalter sulks at some point in the first inning?

On Darwin Barney’s epic slide during Game 1:

Pages flip slowly.
"Damn. Could have sworn they were 80 fee apart."
And Barney’s visual re-enactment of what actually happened:

On our continued appreciation for Dominic Leone:
We don't have #OsunaMatata in the 9th tonight, but we have the Leone King. #BlueJays
— Jordan Davidson (@jordangeville) September 12, 2017
On our continued confusion over the Ryan Goins’ hype:
Between this and praise on the broadcast, I'm wondering if there's a different Ryan Goins who doesn't have 3rd-worst OPS (min 400 PA) in MLB https://t.co/hj4dKk3p5P

There's a difference between "having a great season" and "slightly outperforming non-existent offensive expectations."
— Scott MacArthur (@ScottyMacThinks) September 12, 2017
It's a unit of measurement between a player's multi-year OBP in the minors and their OBP over 30-some MLB at-bats. #Advanced #Stats
— Keegan Matheson (@KeeganMatheson) September 12, 2017
On the weird and wacky stories sometimes told by baseball stats:
Tied for 6th most valuable batter on the 2017 Jays:
— ℳatt (@matttomic) September 12, 2017
-3 September callups with < 8 games.
-2 guys I forgot played for them.
-1 AL pitcher. pic.twitter.com/NOGho1V2Ax
On this poor lady’s lack of ability to take a proper selfie:

On all the infuriating warning track fly balls in Game 2:

Did none of the #BlueJays lift this week?

On what the front office executives could really be doing during these meaningless September games:

On our appreciation for Luke Maile:
I believe in handsome backup catchers.
— Tao of Stieb (@TaoofStieb) September 13, 2017
On Joe Biagini’s dominant performance in Game 2:
On the bright side... Biagini #BlueJays
— Drew (@Drew_OnAir) September 13, 2017
Joe Being A Genie tonight. pic.twitter.com/iwsBkroRpr
— Daryl (@ateDARYL) September 13, 2017
My takeaway from tonight's Blue Jays game? Biagini has been simply superb and focused. My takeaway from the iPhone X announcement? Animojis.
— Ari Shapiro (@ari_shapiro) September 13, 2017
On John Gibbons’ continued desire to hit a late-innings reliever quota in September:
Gibby saw that it's only 9:30... And thus the pitching change.
— Daryl (@ateDARYL) September 13, 2017
On continued reminders of Buck Showalter’s decision not to use Zach Britton during the 2016 AL Wild Card game:
Look, Showalter is actually using Britton at Rogers Centre. #BlueJays #Orioles
— C6 Sports (@C6_sports) September 13, 2017
And then on the beautiful moment when Zach Britton blew the save (and lost the game):
I might be a little bias but that was extremely cool
— BP Toronto (@BProToronto) September 13, 2017
Only two teams have dealt Zach Britton a blown save since August 23rd of 2015: the Oakland A's and the Toronto Blue Jays.
— Ian Hunter (@BlueJayHunter) September 13, 2017
On the unfortunate start to Game 3:
— Blue Jays Nation (@thejaysnation) September 13, 2017
On the Blue Jays new “twilight hour” struggles that sometimes prevents them from catching the baseball:
I swear we used to be able to catch balls between the hours of 7 and 8pm prior to 2017.#BlueJays
— Paul Frank (@pwgfrank) September 13, 2017
On the GIDP issue that really did happen far too often in Game 3:
The Blue Jays lead MLB with 6,000,140 double plays, give or take.
— Tao of Stieb (@TaoofStieb) September 14, 2017
On the release of the 2018 Blue Jays schedule:
Pleasantly surprised the #BlueJays got picked up for another season. Thought they were going to get cancelled.
— Andy (@_rallycap) September 12, 2017
BONUS:
Marcus Stroman’s poor choice of words to describe falling asleep while traveling in an airplane:
Enjoyed that. Let's do it again soon. About to crash. Appreciate y'all more than you know always! #HDMH

On the pending arrival of Roberto Osuna’s child:
