O'Hearn is a beast for us...even with that out..

Somewhere along the line, this team has learned to play much smarter baseball. O'Hearn knows how to play the game. He's not much of a fielder, but he doesn't make mistakes.

He’s been awful since the All Star break.

How bad does Toronto hate Mounty?  He just destroys them.

It's more fear than hate.

Seriously, they talk about him a lot on /Baseball.

More people should recognize your humor. Well played.... well played.

Everybody should in a good mood watching this.

How can Alejandro Kirk be hitting .255? When I see him, it's more like .455. By the way, Citi sucks.

I don’t see Yoshida getting it. His glove hurts him. 

I really don't think the players who come over in their late 20s after extensive professional experience should be eligible. Not sure how you legislate it, maybe an age cap or if you've played top-flight baseball in any country for X years you're ineligible.

Shohei was 24, which is fine. But Kazuhiro Sasaki won it at 32 after a decade in the Japanese league and then retired four years later. Kind of not the point of the ROY, should be an award for debutantes.

Nice play. 

[ArtVanDelay]

Nice play by Mateo and O’Hearn

That’s been a point made by many.

Maybe try Chase or Discover?

1. He does not have a typical baseball frame

2. I wish he was an Oriole

[eddie83]

Bichette hurt. Oh my.  

[86this]

That could be really bad for Toronto.

[Jagwar]

I feel bad for Bichette. I don't... but I do...
