They like what they see.

Blue Jays Talk

They like the product.

So you have to continue to meet them where they are.

Blue Jays Talk

You're going to have your traditionalists, and you're going to have people that are new.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: More Wins, Labour Talks & Curtis Granderson

due to the game and you got to find a way to blend both the people that have been around and have watched this game for decades obviously that has worked a lot of that is still in the game but for that new player that is consistently talking or that fan that's always talking about the launch angle or the spin rate or the distance and all those different things you got to give them a little bit of it because that's how they break down the game that's how they watch it that's how they choose their favorite players and their favorite teams so you blend you use most of it

The technology is also there as well, so you will see things pop up on the screen that you don't always have to go to directly because people can see that.

Blue Jays Talk

People can read that.

Blue Jays Talk

They can look that information up.

But then you blend it with the perspective of what you see on the field, how it was for you as a player, what differences you would make now if you were in that situation.

You know, the good thing, not only with the Blue Jays, but literally everyone in the American League, if you can hover around 500 right now, you got a shot.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: More Wins, Labour Talks & Curtis Granderson

Like, no, there's not really anybody running away with it.

JTP: More Wins, Labour Talks & Curtis Granderson

And I think that's the great thing when you start to see, OK, we're a third of the way through the season and our season isn't over.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: More Wins, Labour Talks & Curtis Granderson

You hate to be, you know, 20 games below 500 at this point in the season.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: More Wins, Labour Talks & Curtis Granderson

But if you're hovering around 500, that still gives you a chance to possibly get in as a wild card.

Blue Jays Talk

And of course, anything can happen in the division, right?

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: More Wins, Labour Talks & Curtis Granderson

Okay, the confidence has to continue to remain high.

Blue Jays Talk

And if you need even another part of a boost, you just look at what happened last year.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: More Wins, Labour Talks & Curtis Granderson

You know, the Jays were in a very similar situation.
