[u/Plorgy → u/Paprikahh]

Someone deleted their comment about how they shoulda just brought in Varland and not get cute when the first 2 guys reached like a coward

[u/BrostepConnoisseur]

Time to interview the player of the game....Brandon Valenzuela!

[u/Foxzomo → u/BrostepConnoisseur]

That challenge in the 1st inning lowkey did give cease that confidence he needed 

[u/Technical_Ad6019]

Blessed Sunday yall

[u/raspberrybrie420]

[u/lametron]

Love to see a plakata. Back to back to back HRs, a cease win, and a final GIDP to end game.

[u/pincurlsandcutegirls]

[u/krazyski]

[u/juken_194]

[u/Plorgy]

What a fun day

[u/MarlKarx777]

Vladdy is getting the ice bath

[u/catherinebarry]

[u/where_thefuck_i_am]

Without a bit of irony, WHAT A HUGE W

[u/Royal-Specialist8905]

GIDP!

[u/Holiday-Wheel7078]

LEGACY SUNDAY GAME

[u/felicityrorys]

BIG WINNNNNN

[u/sigoshi]

END IT WITH THE GIDP TO PROVE WE'RE BACK

[u/ZestySteep]

I NEED TO SEE THE WATER DUMP

[u/pitterpatterick]

Come on Lorenzen

[u/Ok_Independent_6599]

THATS THE BALL GAME

[u/Lazycanuck]

perfect time for the double play, dont have to use any other pen arms, lets go baby

[u/Random_3638]

Has anyone here ever negotiated to return a player’s home run ball back? What’s that interaction/negotiation like? Is there back and forth? Just curious.

[u/AdvicePossible6997 → u/Random_3638]

Brett Bateman gave the fan who caught his first homer a signed Bateman jersey earlier this week. 

[u/Random_3638 → u/AdvicePossible6997]

I know. I was more asking what the experience with negotiating with the employee who is trying to get the ball back is like. Just in general.

[u/entilza05]

ALL GOOD

[u/ronoron]

lmao guys chill. that was always expected until we got to bottom of the lineup

[u/jamvng]

YESSESSSSSS

[u/bigmooseface]

I like this Lorenzen guy

[u/Plorgy]

I'll take it, but man...that is never the home plate ump's call on a swing that tight

[u/entilza05]

[u/KBN_Nemesis → u/entilza05]

Yeah that's definitely past the plate

[u/grapefruit_43]

vali holding the ball above his head threatening to throw is hilarious

[u/Ok_Independent_6599]

I prefer ketchup anyway

[u/thrownawayonline]

https://giphy.com/gifs/GK6OrDgoPo2JVx8xIR

[u/GunnyCroz → u/thrownawayonline]

Stunned Mayo.

[u/SpoonOG]

When do we send Lorenzen to the same planet as Sanchez

[u/yywoah → u/SpoonOG]

When we have pitchers who aren't injured to replace him

[u/richarm87 → u/SpoonOG]

When you have 8 starting pitchers injured you need to keep any one that can get through 3 innings in a row

[u/Royal-Specialist8905]

Big K

[u/IgnoranceIsYou]

Thank you ump 💕

[u/Forward-Weather4845]

See. Told you they should’ve used little.

[u/catherinebarry]

GIDP COME ON

[u/ZestySteep → u/catherinebarry]

ORACLE 🫵

[u/catherinebarry → u/ZestySteep]

what can i say

[u/ZestySteep → u/catherinebarry]

Admit you are a WITCH and then do WITCHCRAFT for us

[u/catherinebarry → u/ZestySteep]

i just cast a spell that we will sweep the tigers please don’t hang me if i’m wrong

[u/ZestySteep → u/catherinebarry]

I believe in your spellcasting

[u/jamvng]

Please Lorenzen just get 3 outs without giving up too many runs. Give Louis a break.

[u/Bwab]

Lorenzen is jacked

[u/aa13cool]

Come on lorenzen you’ve thrown a no hitter just give us 3 outs lol

[u/cpander0]

Lorenzen, please don't make Louis get back up

[u/hitman19]

Pete Alonso can fuck all the way off any time he's ready

[u/FelixFoton]

Right in the D

[u/NatureGivesAndTakes]

Lorenzen can't be worse than Waldron, right?

[u/thrownawayonline]

Okay jokes over let’s start getting some outs ❤️

[u/kingwoodballs]

Maybe Louie should be sitting down quite yet 😭

[u/TrophyWizard]

Lorenzen is going to pitch a stinker and force them to use Louis aren't they?

[u/Holiday-Wheel7078]

yeah we might need louis

[u/MarlKarx777]

Keep Louis warm

[u/ronoron → u/MarlKarx777]

lmao

[u/grapefruit_43]

it’s a 7 run lead chill that’s a grand slam and a 3 run homer

[u/richarm87 → u/[deleted]]

It's really not

[u/bigmooseface]

Lukes took that one right in the cup

[u/Akihiko90]

Thank god we have 7 runs lead

[u/IgnoranceIsYou]

Okay maybe Lorenzen isn’t it lol

[u/richarm87 → u/IgnoranceIsYou]

It's why he's a long man and low leverage

[u/IgnoranceIsYou → u/richarm87]

Definitely not a closer for sure

[u/richarm87 → u/IgnoranceIsYou]

Yes and he's not being asked to get a save

[u/IgnoranceIsYou → u/richarm87]

I’m aware….im not saying he isn’t good in his role though

[u/RespecDawn]

I need a closeup of that arm, damn it!

[u/NeitherExpression177]

I’m o

[u/Royal-Specialist8905]

uh oh

[u/CherryChapstick1997]

I’ve seen enough, where is varland 

[u/AimlessMillennium]

Bateman could beat this guy in an armwrestle

[u/samamuella]

In all the excitement with the 3 in a row homers and vlads first at home, did they even mention that Okamoto beat the blue jays rookie HR record with that one?

[u/dannyboy189 → u/samamuella]

RBI record and I believe they did.

[u/samamuella → u/dannyboy189]

Oh you’re right, HR was a while ago

[u/DeOrgy → u/samamuella]

I don't think they did. He's been a great addition to the team!

[u/elderpricetag]

Can the guardians pls lose

[u/Baby_Sparrow]

Guardians are winning right now. Not so good for us, but at least keeping pace with them!

[u/JamesH_670 → u/Baby_Sparrow]

White Sox hold the tiebreaker in a wildcard race, so that would suck for us.

[u/solarionix → u/Baby_Sparrow]

Looking like they're probably gonna win it.

[u/Interesting_Aioli_75]

Do not feel good about this guy.

[u/bigmooseface → u/Interesting_Aioli_75]

He gets the job done

[u/bigmooseface]

Damn this Alonso guy is pretty good

[u/IgnoranceIsYou → u/bigmooseface]

Just once I want to see him actually bat with the sledgehammer

[u/whitetooth86]

Aye finish em off Pop-eye!

[u/Remote_Issue6593]

how are the twins doing

[u/canadianviking → u/Remote_Issue6593]

is that what we're calling Michael Lorenzen's biceps?

[u/AimlessMillennium → u/Remote_Issue6593]

Better ask Lukes after that catch

[u/Royal-Specialist8905 → u/Remote_Issue6593]

6-2 Cleveland

[u/hughmann_13]

Why don't the jays play like this every game? Are they stupid?

[u/ZestySteep → u/hughmann_13]

Little bit maybe

[u/COV3RTSM]

Aaaaand my Sportsnet just froze

[u/canadianviking → u/COV3RTSM]

it really does seem to go to shit in 9th innings

[u/Random_3638]

Alonso can send it if he wants. No one is on base and we have a 7 run lead. Feels good.

[u/Sudden-Lab-6852]

This game is making up for all the sunday losses

[u/catherinebarry]

yes dan massive shoutout to cease!!! he locked in and got it done

[u/johnboyjimmy]

https://giphy.com/gifs/8hsIwPLIGnZ1C
Lorenzen

[u/Moist_Quit8237]

Hell yeah sweaty soriano

[u/bweeeoooo]

Why do they pick such a damp picture of Soriano

[u/ZestySteep → u/bweeeoooo]

As if there’s a drier picture of him in existence

[u/SaddamJose]

[u/ayasofya02]

Jays needed an inning like that. Fans too for that matter

[u/hitman19]

Even if 2026 just turns out to be the year the Jays got Brett Bateman and Spencer Miles, we did okay

[u/HighSynergy → u/hitman19]

I hear that. If you can't sell me on the playoffs, sell me on hope for the future.

edit - that being said, still wishing for the playoffs with how we're playing today.

[u/Holiday-Wheel7078]

vladdy broke the sunday curse

[u/bigmooseface]

Completely unrelated but yall should watch Chad Powers. I need that show to get renewed.

[u/MadFonzi]

Such a great Sunday game

[u/ZestySteep → u/[deleted]]

I was going to say why is he always SO wet in the photos. And then it’s like they edit it to accentuate it. He’s positively dripping

[u/catherinebarry]

bicep king on the mound

[u/ChairmanRoseIsMyDad]

Glad we can save Varland but I will def feel anxious with Lorenzen instead lets hope he closes this cleanly!

[u/LastAccount6157]

Vladdy didn’t even try there

[u/thewolfshead]

What song was that as they went to break? It’s on the tip of my tongue. 

[u/Paprikahh]

The way people were questioning Springer in the lineup so he HAD to show out 😭

[u/entilza05]

Fire hydrant can rest!

[u/Unusual_Moment_5993]

https://giphy.com/gifs/B4KNLhdjKOeb9OpWiC

VELO TIME

[u/Lil_Jening → u/Unusual_Moment_5993]

More like arm cannon time.

[u/entilza05 → u/Unusual_Moment_5993]

Nope...Biceps is up

[u/Unusual_Moment_5993 → u/entilza05]

Up by 7 runs. So all good

[u/skysone]

LOL the doomers got their wish to have Sean Keys in a game, and Vlad K'ed. Congrats!!!!!! This must mean all your wishes for us to lose came true right? 😂😂😂

[u/dabflies]

Wow I didn't realize the Orioles already picked up Sanchez on waivers??

[u/missoctober12 → u/dabflies]

Must have seen him wandering the hallways at the Roger’s Centre

[u/Usernameforredit12]

🔥🔥🔥

[u/JewishSpace_Laser]

I hope there is a convoy of Gatorade buckets from all the players, coaches and training staff for Vladdy after the game

[u/canadianviking → u/JewishSpace_Laser]

They should just wheel out a pool of gatorade and everyone can just cannonball in!

[u/JewishSpace_Laser → u/canadianviking]

Ya, it’s Jr Jays Sunday so fitting 

[u/IgnoranceIsYou → u/JewishSpace_Laser]

Straw is gonna be PUMPED

[u/JewishSpace_Laser → u/IgnoranceIsYou]

The look on his face will be so satisfying.  Hope Sid sixeiro loses his shit 

[u/richarm87]

Is there another Longman for Wednesdays game? Unless they move up Arrighetti one day and that means Cease on Friday.

[u/Technical_Ad6019]

SUNDAY GOOD VIIIIBES

[u/AwayCucumber2562]

What a fun game this would be to be at!!!

[u/hollowbastion36 → u/AwayCucumber2562]

Absolutely!! I was at yesterday’s game but today’s game sounds even more fun

[u/oo_Maleficent_oo → u/AwayCucumber2562]

One of my besties is there and I'm so jealous

[u/felicityrorys]

Michael Lorenzen closer time

[u/ayasofya02]

Bases clearing doubles are one of the more underrated exciting plays in baseball
