Blue Jays

NESN only does the 4K broadcasts, no?

The bullpen nearly blew it again...

 

[G.L.17]

Storen can't blow them all, he's bound to get a few saves.

So do Sportsnet and TSN; in fact, those two were the first in North America to offer live team sports in 4K in English; NESN is just third (and the first American one for live team sports in English).

The Jays have now won five straight series against the Yankees, something they haven't done since 1993.

Kevin Pillar is just crazy. It would be one thing to make those dives on natural grass, but he consistently makes them on thin layers of artificial turf with concrete underneath. Also, Osuna is going to be producing for years. Coming into the league and dominating at that age, if he stays healthy he could break records as a closer

Osuna could very well become the Riviera of the Jays.

Meanwhile, the Jays got veteran relief pitcher Jason Grilli from the Braves and some cash as well in exchange for a minor leaguer.

It would have been interesting if the Jays got Kirby Yates from the New York Yankees instead, given that the Jays needed a reliable relief pitcher.

Cue jokes such as this one I found randomly:

Yates would be a better fit for the Jays than Grilli (and yes, the Jays would have to give up more to get Yates).

Joey Bats might leave Toronto at the end of the season if the Jays don't work out a deal for him.

The Jays beat the Yankees 7-0 for the sweep!

 

[Johnny Au]

Yates choked by giving the Jays four runs and Grilli made an error before throwing his first pitch as a Jay. At least Grilli's error did not lead to the Yankees scoring a single run.

I didn't see the game. What was Grilli's error; a pickoff attempt?

Yes.

The Jays win, despite being underdogs! In Fenway! Against ex-Jay Price! Price got the loss. Eight wins in nine games for the Jays! Four straight!

 

[Videodrome]

That was the first time since 2011 that Price took a loss against the Jays.

The Rockies just activated Jose Reyes and DFA'ed him. They are paying him over $40 million to go away. Carl Crawford also got paid $35 million to go away.
