I think that was the best game I’ve watched this season. It had everything. Good pitching, bad pitching, good defense, not so good defense. And some timely hitting. Almost everyone in the line contributed.
And we had something happen that the Jays haven’t done before:
Brandon Belt's 10th-inning home run last night marked the first time in #BlueJays history a player led off an inning with a two-run HR

This is nice to see, of course, we aren’t at an endpoint. I was told the trade for Varsho was the worst in Jays history. :
Last offseason, the Jays swapped out three position players.

Teoscar, Lourdes, Moreno (3.4 fWAR, 43 HR, ~$20M)
for
Varsho, Belt, Kiermaier (5.5 fWAR, 36 HR, ~$21.3M)
via trade, this three for three swap also netted 3 years of Swanson, and prospect Adam Macko.
This may have been the best play I’ve ever seen Bo Bichette make:
TOR v BAL 9th Inning

Rutschman v Mayza
Rutschman
99mph off bat
47% Hit Prob
28.3 sprint speed
4.6 sec home to 1st
Bichette
1.33 second exchange
70mph throw (insane from that body position)
Unreal play made more unreal by stakes & situation.

Today’s lineup:
Orevlis Martinez had a great day today, as did the Bisons. They won 14-2.
Martinez is having himself a day at the plate!
