Mateo equals Wizard of Oz.

I'm getting flashbacks of the last few seasons on what would've happened before Adley took over as catcher. 

With Severino catching, there's probably 2 wild pitches and a passed ball that inning.  Blue Jays 8, Orioles 7.

Good to get a win against these ****s.  Let's get one tomorrow.

Patton-esque!

I remember liking Vavra from the first time I saw him hit. But once he starting having injury problems last year, it was easy to start looking past him and imagine Henderson, Westburg, Mayo joining Mountcastle for a super talented infield. But Mateo, Vavra, Urias in the meantime is pretty damn capable. This team has been a blast to watch the last three months.

Ok, so the Blue Jays have a lefty on the hill & we sit Mullins, even though he sat out Saturdays game, but we have a righty on the hill & the Blue Jays aren't sitting any of their righties. Guess which team is serious about winning. 

Yeah it's odd that the Jay manager wouldn't try to match up with our pitcher to try to win the game, like Hyde did

Does a Mountcastle have a career OPS over 700 if you take away his stats vs Toronto?

Yes he does.

Nice.  I’m surprised it’s so comfortably ahead of 700.
