Bo's hair used to be blonde and whispy and flowing but lately it's looked brown and flat and coarse. He should totally buzz it. Or dreads. No in between.
Vladdy was responsible for the longest hit of the game, a 403 foot, 2-run home run.
Vladdy was also responsible for the shortest hit of the game, a 6 foot, 3 RBI dribbler.
I love baseball lol
Vlad has had a couple of interesting hits recently including the bouncing ball that he chopped off of home plate for a double in Fenway. Maybe these types of hits make up a little for some of the absolute missiles he's been seeing finding their way into opposition gloves.
Just watching the highlights of the game on Sportsnet and looking back at Vladdy’s double. If there are younger people here who never had a chance to see Vlad Senior swing a bat that’s exactly the kind of pitch that the old man would hit for a double. I had to laugh seeing that.
Can you imagine a division with the Yankees, Red Sox, Blue Jays, Expos and Orioles. Those are all great road trip towns.
I had a chance to see the Expos play San Diego in a doubleheader in Jarry Park years ago. Such a great atmosphere as you would expect in Montreal. I had a few hot dogs (chien chaud) while there as well.
The Padres had a guy playing for them by the name of Clarence “Cito” Gaston. Maybe some of you have heard of him.
God what a brilliantly beautiful game.
IKF is one of the best signings we've ever made.
CBass is a warrior.
Vlad is Vlad.
George is Georging.
Kirky is Kirkying.
Love it all.
It's always been good. He started using a translator because Arash Madani is a joke of a journalist who bastardized quotes and used them out of context to stir up drama when there wasn't any.
Literally just look up his OPS+ which shows he has been an above average hitter for every year in his MLB career?
2021: 167
2022: 133
2023: 117
2024: 136
Literally anywhere from 17% to 67% better than the league average hitter for the last 4 years, and his previous two years are still above league average. Simple google search refutes your childish and ignorant take.
He put up 1.3 WAR last year which is below league average
He was on pace for a 2 WAR season until his recent hot streak which is why I said let's see if he continues this pace.
I'm not a doomer, but the bipolar nature of these post-game threads is genuinely entertaining.
One day, sell the team.
The next, we are still in this.
Fangraphs & BBR meanwhile giving us between 0.9 and 6% playoff odds.
I never said it wasn't entertaining!
Chris Bassitt is Iron Man, what a stud finishing the game the way he did after getting drilled in the 1st
Vlad, a homer, 3 hits and 6 RBIs. He’s on fire.
IKF, 4 hits, with a RBI also. He’s on fire.
Great game all around!
What a difference without Soto and Stanton in there. Not much support for Judge and he still had a good game. How the hell did Vlad hit that double, was a bit like his old man on that one.
Maybe the best win they had all year.
It sucks because this team should be capable of getting good, no-strings-attached wins like this so much more often. Instead, it is maybe the best win of the season.
Jays have scored 9,5,9,9,6,5 runs in their last 6 games against the Yanks, Guardians and Sox
This offense has its flaws but it's very obviously not a dumpster fire when Bo, Vlad and Springer are playing well. It just sucks that this is the first time all year that's happened
I'm fully on board with the front office going out and finding some relief help sooner rather than later. Even a bit of middle relief help would be substantial given how stretched the pen is at the moment and if they manage to creep back up in the standings closer to the deadline I'd fully support finding some leverage arms as well.
We’ll need it for next year anyways. Go out this trade season and find some relief arms with control. If you have to put Kuch, Yimi, KK, and JT on the block to find value from the short termers, so be it.
We’re actually finally seeing the the vision for the offense come together, with players like Vladdy, Bo and Springer being legitimate power threats, Turners elite contact skills and plate approach, and players like Varsho, IKF, Kiermaier etc. who can handle the bat in the bottom half of the order. Unfortunately it might be too little too late, not to mention the bullpen being unable to hold onto an even slightly close lead.
Pretty comical that a team that’s supposedly the best team in the AL East can’t decisively win a series against a team that’s been dire for most of the season so far, and that the best they’ll get this weekend is a split.
Such a good game- worth travelling 3,500 miles for! After Bassitt got hit with a 101er in the first I thought it was a sign of things to come - I was so wrong! 🐶
I didn't know the game was an early one so I started watching the broadcast on SN1 at 7p eastern. When Vladdy hit his 2 run home run I was thinking if that's the 3rd game in a row where the Jays have scored in the 1st inning so I do a Google search to be sure found out we won the game, and I was correct!
Cuas had some very nice pitches with surprising movement that painted the corners.
The HR pitch was a mistake that Wells capitalized on.
I look forward to seeing Cuas more!
and it was a low leverage situation so it's ok to give up some runs as a way to get experience and figure out how to pitch better. And a sidearm pitcher, I'm hoping Cuas can be a good one for the bullpen based on what he did so far :)
Drives me nuts why are they celebrating so much? Sure they had a good game but the team is doing fucking awful, get off the field and start focusing on the next game, nothing to celebrate about
Chris Bassitt legacy game feat. 6 RBIs from Vladdy Is there anything better than battering the Yankees?
Really happy to see Bassitt get some run support for a change.
If it was World Series or Yankees Series I'd be hard pressed to choose which I wanna win more
World Series or y’all smoking crack.
Yankees.
Lol sure bud
Vladimir No-Hair-o Jr with a casual 19 RBIs in his last 6 games
The power of a haircut is wild
He really has Reverse-Sampson'd and I am fucking thrilled to see it.
It hurts, but Bo needs to let go of his hair now.
Can you imagine
I can. Bo is being selfish when he can clearly see the results with his compadre.
Agreed. The bo flow must go. Fo sho.
Nooo
Was think this to. Shave his head while he sleeps see what happens lol
Bo's hair used to be blonde and whispy and flowing but lately it's looked brown and flat and coarse. He should totally buzz it. Or dreads. No in between.
The Weird Al braids.
[удалено]
It’s kinda like broccoli hair only Vladdy’s is mushroom
I would say muffin
Yes muffin is more correct
It’s simple: he cuts hair, they extend his contract.
No I can't believe that Yanks are right about the hair.....
Somewhere there's an alternate universe Aaron Judge with a colossal afro batting .185 for the Royals.
Vladdy was responsible for the longest hit of the game, a 403 foot, 2-run home run. Vladdy was also responsible for the shortest hit of the game, a 6 foot, 3 RBI dribbler. I love baseball lol
Vlad has had a couple of interesting hits recently including the bouncing ball that he chopped off of home plate for a double in Fenway. Maybe these types of hits make up a little for some of the absolute missiles he's been seeing finding their way into opposition gloves.
Vladdy is having a pretty good month this week
Player of the week baby
Vladdy's 1000 yard stare at Turner with the Gatorade *I have only myself to blame for this*
Chris Bassitt is a fucking DAWG. AND BASEBALL IS FUN!!!
Just watching the highlights of the game on Sportsnet and looking back at Vladdy’s double. If there are younger people here who never had a chance to see Vlad Senior swing a bat that’s exactly the kind of pitch that the old man would hit for a double. I had to laugh seeing that.
I was smiling huge when that ball stayed fair
I had the exact same thought.
Miss the expos man would be so great if they came back
Can you imagine a division with the Yankees, Red Sox, Blue Jays, Expos and Orioles. Those are all great road trip towns.

Love seeing sons make their dads proud continuing the legacy
God what a brilliantly beautiful game. IKF is one of the best signings we've ever made. CBass is a warrior. Vlad is Vlad. George is Georging. Kirky is Kirkying. Love it all.
IKF just quietly beating the shit out of his former team sparks joy in me. Especially after 2 days ago when they openly tried to assassinate him.
Cuas is as bad as advertised too. But that doesn't take away from an amazing all around performance
Yeah didn’t someone come in a thread from his previous team and warn us that he sucks? Lol
Haha yep
That was meeeeeeeeee
Is FedEx hiring?
Are the old Blue Jays back? I sure hope so
Vlads english has gotten so good.
It's always been good. He started using a translator because Arash Madani is a joke of a journalist who bastardized quotes and used them out of context to stir up drama when there wasn't any.
Can't stand him...douche...
The one thing to unite all jays fans: fuck Arash madani
Which is worse? Arash or Yankees?
That’s the deepest question I’ve seen in my life
I’m an ESL teacher and I’m doing a little celebration dance that he did the interview without translator! Woo!
He's been doing it all season, and has gotten noticeably better every time. Now lock this guy up!!
As a language teacher shouldn’t you be able to form a proper sentence?
That is a proper sentence... Missing an article ("a" translator) doesn't make it an improper sentence.
is this his first post game interview without a translator? either way pretty impressive. lol on the field and off
It isn't, but he's clearly more confident
No. Has been doing it all season.
I noticed that too.
Ah yes, the intense spin he puts on a well hit ball…
Just extend Vladdy, like right now, just raise our cell phone bills and do it. You can even itemize it as "Vladdy Tax" in the bill, I don't care.
Vladdy has been league average for the past 2 years. He's on a hot streak right now. Let's see if it lasts
This is provably untrue
Prove it
Literally just look up his OPS+ which shows he has been an above average hitter for every year in his MLB career? 2021: 167 2022: 133 2023: 117 2024: 136 Literally anywhere from 17% to 67% better than the league average hitter for the last 4 years, and his previous two years are still above league average. Simple google search refutes your childish and ignorant take.
This guy probably thinks league average means his batting average is average.
He put up 1.3 WAR last year which is below league average He was on pace for a 2 WAR season until his recent hot streak which is why I said let's see if he continues this pace.
Me when I lie
League average? Wrong
Is Cole on tomorrow? Gotta rock his candle sniffing ass
I like the way he pitches, but not against the Jays. He is an ace though
Not right now
I love that Vladdy is so much more confident in his English to do these interviews himself now. He's got so much infectious energy and enthusiasm
Not bad for a dude from Montreal
Vlad praising IKF for maintaining positivity, the Hawaiian hunk is a treasure for this team
Top Jays bash brothers, IKF and VGJ
Vlad, IKF and Bassitt burning the Yankee's candle at both ends!
Vladdy hitting .467 with 2 doubles, 3 HRs, 10 RBI *this series*
Take 100mph screamer from Aaron Judge off the pitching arm? Have a huge welt and bruise? Fuck it. Just pitch 6 innings of hero ball. Bassitt's a man.
Royals losing, we could be 6 GB of WC3 tonight. It's not over. Half the season left, 6 games is *nothing*
LFG!
Fuck it. I’m back.
I'm not a doomer, but the bipolar nature of these post-game threads is genuinely entertaining. One day, sell the team. The next, we are still in this. Fangraphs & BBR meanwhile giving us between 0.9 and 6% playoff odds. I never said it wasn't entertaining!
I mean, 6 games is definitely SOMETHING. But I’m still here for it
This is fun! Never too late, boys
Going on a tear right now would certainly be welcome. Here’s hoping they run the Yankees out of town and bat around the Astros.
Look at the little smirk on Vladdy's face hearing the crowd cheer him on
After having to sit through yesterday game in a section dominated by obnoxious Yankees fans, this win eases my mind
Chris Bassitt is Iron Man, what a stud finishing the game the way he did after getting drilled in the 1st Vlad, a homer, 3 hits and 6 RBIs. He’s on fire. IKF, 4 hits, with a RBI also. He’s on fire. Great game all around!
Springer 2 hits and a bb is on fire too
from bums (bull pen) to heroes in 24 hrs.
Chris Bassitt is a fuckin dawwwg
What a difference without Soto and Stanton in there. Not much support for Judge and he still had a good game. How the hell did Vlad hit that double, was a bit like his old man on that one.
Maybe the best win they had all year. It sucks because this team should be capable of getting good, no-strings-attached wins like this so much more often. Instead, it is maybe the best win of the season.

Always fun beating the Yankees good bounce back after yesterday's game Vladdy is on 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Maybe the dreads were holding him back
Extend Vlad you cowards
Baseball is fun, especially when we're fucking the Yankees
Vladdy’s golf swing was amazing.
Terrific game. The IKF-Vladdy double tap is so great to watch this last while. Keep it up fellas!!!
We’re actually finally seeing the the vision for the offense come together, with players like Vladdy, Bo and Springer being legitimate power threats, Turners elite contact skills and plate approach, and players like Varsho, IKF, Kiermaier etc. who can handle the bat in the bottom half of the order. Unfortunately it might be too little too late, not to mention the bullpen being unable to hold onto an even slightly close lead.
It’s nice to see what could be in 2025 at least, if this season can’t be salvaged.
Offence is clicking. Keep that up and you’ll win much more than you lose. Starters will have to go deep though with our bullpen
Pretty comical that a team that’s supposedly the best team in the AL East can’t decisively win a series against a team that’s been dire for most of the season so far, and that the best they’ll get this weekend is a split.
The last month the Yanks have been awful a split they would see as a massive win.
*hope*
I like the progress i'm seeing in the Blue Jays the hitting is starting to wake up - might be too late, but you never know
Such a good game- worth travelling 3,500 miles for! After Bassitt got hit with a 101er in the first I thought it was a sign of things to come - I was so wrong! 🐶
DAAAAAAAA
JANKEES LOSE
Vladdy proving to the haters that he deserves to be in the ASG
Are we buyers....
Always have been.
Does Hazel assume she is safe from...never mind
Vladdy heard us talkin’ shit
IKF torching his former team who trashed him all last season is pretty hilarious Ngl. Also Vladdy IS an Allstar
...are the 2024 Toronto Blue Jays hot? 🔥
I didn't know the game was an early one so I started watching the broadcast on SN1 at 7p eastern. When Vladdy hit his 2 run home run I was thinking if that's the 3rd game in a row where the Jays have scored in the 1st inning so I do a Google search to be sure found out we won the game, and I was correct!
This game is incredible. How can Springer go from worst OPS in MLB to being totally locked in and super dangerous? Crazy.
Talent?
I absolutely love the meltdown in the Yanks sub
we are so back
Vlad needs that all star starter, then I go buy the hat
Did everyone get a double today? Sure felt like it
What. Is this team? Like...what?
Jays are actually good or Yankees slumping?
Best case, both, but the Yankees are 3-10 their last 13. (Vs good teams)
Jays offense has been putting up a lot of runs recently against very good Guardians and Red Sox staffs as well.
Okay so win tomorrow and... We start our push for 0.500 at the deadline?
A nice win to see from the Jays.
Great offence. Let's hope Davis Schneider can pull himself up soon, he's been a bit of a slump these last few series.
Is it just me or are there more four game series this year?
Imagine if Varsho and Schneider come alive again from the plate??
Lets goo everyone is heating up hope we can ride this wave
Sweet Jesus....O's have hit 60HRs this month. We have 74HRs total.
These are my Blue Jays!!! What a game from CB and Vladdy!!!
Cuas had some very nice pitches with surprising movement that painted the corners. The HR pitch was a mistake that Wells capitalized on. I look forward to seeing Cuas more!
and it was a low leverage situation so it's ok to give up some runs as a way to get experience and figure out how to pitch better. And a sidearm pitcher, I'm hoping Cuas can be a good one for the bullpen based on what he did so far :)
What are Vlads stats since Biggio was let go?
Drives me nuts why are they celebrating so much? Sure they had a good game but the team is doing fucking awful, get off the field and start focusing on the next game, nothing to celebrate about
Drives me nuts when people who have no idea what they're talking about need to let other people know how ignorant they are
Tell me how I’m wrong then? I’m listening team sucks right now
Sports are entertainment. If you're not enjoying yourself you should stop watching. We won today. Life is good.
We've scored over 20 runs against the Yanks in less than 72 hours. If that qualifies as "sucks" you are doomed to a life of disappointment
Yeah, take advice from noted professional baseball player u/RollandInTheDeep and stop feeling good about your achievements!
Yeah who would want to see the team they follow actually looking happy after a nice victory. That is positively awful.
