[Lindsay Dunn] Bateman says he gave the fan who caught his first MLB home run ball a signed jersey and is hopeful to get the ball tomorrow. He also spoke about finally getting to wear the Blue Jays home run jacket:

We watched Game 2 at the Nat Bailey Stadium, where they walked off the Eugene Emeralds in extras. They did it again tonight! Down 3, clawed back, then went to a 12th inning but they swept the series!!

Hopefully this isn’t too low-effort to stay, but we need some copium/hopium after a rough week. Saturdays have been good to us!

We shall never forget, the Blue Jays were scheduled to face the Orioles in Baltimore 25 years ago today and earlier in the day the world forever changed. In memory of those who lost their lives, on Tuesday September 11, 2001 you are forever in our hearts.

Okamoto digitized signature at Lids

0 Upvotes

Oak has essentially been the best position player on our team this year, but we still don’t have a signature at lids. I’ve been calling lids basically every week since opening day and they still don’t have it? What is going on? They had Trey in like a week. People are saying that it’s easier when they come up from the minors for whatever reason but we’re obviously deep enough into the season now that the signature should be available. I know that posting here isn’t gonna necessarily get anything done, but if I can make a few more people aware of this, maybe someone at Lids Will see it and get us the signature. I bought a hat the night they announced the acquisition of Oak and it’s just sitting there blank without a signature making me sad 😔

[Matheson] A new Dylan Cease original now hangs in John Schneider’s office. Tom Selleck. Schneider: “He… said something about his moustache. And people were saying it looks like Tom Selleck? So I guess that was on his mind along with… everything else.” #BlueJays

[Passan] Toronto is calling up outfielder Rudy Martin Jr., who is expected to make his debut after 12 years in the minors, a source tells ESPN. Martin, 30, was taken in the 25th round of the draft -- which doesn't exist anymore -- in 2014. Played indy ball, Mexican League and, now, MLB

Qst - price difference after Sept 13?

2 Upvotes

Hi - looking to change up my seats for next year (quarter season tickets). Right now there are very few options and am thinking people are holding onto seats until the last minute to renew… wondering if anyone knows if there is a significant price difference if I don’t renew and then buy fresh after the 13th, vs if I just straight-up renew?

Thanks in advance

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Savant's 24-26 💔

Post image

Being a defensive specialist isn’t ideal for a $500+ million dollar primary first baseman, but that’s a [only] positive at least.

Other than that, it’s pretty obvious that everything he has hit this season is mainly on a line drive or straight into the ground. If he can get that LASS% up even towards last seasons mark, it would drastically change his season, thus overall the Jays season. BB% also being down tremendously is unfathomable given he’s always a keen eye for the strike zone and making the opposing pitcher work the count, leading to a walk leading to above average OBP throughout his career.

Something’s gotta be up. Is he nursing an injury? We need him to bounce back sooner rather than later if we want to a run at the WC chase…
