Miracle! At least we had our regulars up this inning.

Big moment for Ian.

Desmond Gomie and Elvis saved Buch from serious embarrassment.


Well done Perez, Pen and the aforementioned players above.

 

[RevSader]

That bunt from Gomez was really awesome. Glad he found a place to contribute. Just not a good fit in Houston.

 

[romeo212000]

Jays up 3-0 ATM.

 

[Kelleyman]

Great game. Strange substitutions. Glad Des came through. He needs some momentum

Seems to be another brilliant jd move. I think we oughta see what it would take to sign him. We need a CF next year.

Desmond hit about 3 balls to right field tonight. Good to see him getting it out of the infield.

Desmond was smashing the ball the other way every day when he was hot earlier. He needs to keep doing that.

Right. It was encouraging to see him doing that tonight and also how well Perez pitched.

Speaking of which, how about Perez lately?

 

[Kelleyman]

Ok did not think wise to pull Mazara or Neltre in those spots. If at second with no or one out for Beltre then yes. Only with a lead do I bring in Beltre. I would have let Profar hit and had Rua ready too. But despite all this players are the ones who generally win games

 

[Kelleyman]

Also, yes we have had a lot of hard outs the last 2 games. Was there yesterday. Could have easily gone our way

Tell you what, this team is battle tested.

He has looked much better but tonight topped them all. His control was great and Lucroy had him throwing a lot of fastballs that were hitting 94 and the Angels had a hard time with it. It would be really good to see the Perez from before his big DL stint a couple of years ago.

Agree. I mean tonight was ridiculous. We actually had many good ABs.

We need this guy in October.

Not sure if you all knew this but Boston has moved up to 2 games in the loss column behind us. So it is a battle to the end for home field. So hope we keep after it.

I feel so dirty cheering for the Blue Jays. I really, really do. They are FAR and away my most hated team. I truly despise them... worse than Houston, worse than Oakland, worse than the Yankees, worse than the Red Sox, and worse than the Angels.

As I was sitting there watching the end of that game, I kept getting caught up in the moment, forgetting why I was watching, and rooting for the BJ's to lose. I had to keep reminding myself that them winning helped us.

You should have seen the in-game commentary going on from both the Blue Jays fans and bloggers... nothing but bashing the USA and arguing every last pitch that was called against them. That whole franchise and fanbase are lowlife trash in every sense of the word. I don't normally wish injury on other players or people, but I absolutely do on Donaldson and Bautista.
