All right, Kevin Barker.
Well, that was a big steaming pile the Jays dropped on us on a Friday night.
13-3, the Baltimore Orioles having their way with the Blue Jays.
The first game of a three-game series.
The first game of a nine-game homestand against Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York.
And if we were hoping to be able to read anything into whether or not the Blue Jays would have any momentum coming out of last night's win against Atlanta, which was arguably one of their best games of the year, well, we got our answer, Kevin.
I mean, it's never a good sign when you're opening a nine-game homestand and you end up with a position player on the mound, which is what happened to the Blue Jays.
There's a lot we can get to, obviously, but let's start with...
The lineup, two to six in the lineup, one for 16 combined, that coming from the Ohendrik Penaingo in the ninth inning.
There was nothing going on for the Blue Jays, absolutely nothing other than the bottom of the order in Valenzuela's home run.
No, and it seems with the Blue Jays, when it starts to unravel, it really unravels.
We saw Jesus Sanchez making just โ I mean, there have been some dumbass plays made by the Blue Jays this year.
That is kind of top three dumbass plays by a Blue Jays player this year.
Mark Budzinski almost tackled him.
I mean, Mark Budzinski's pointing at the bag.
Yeah, it's just it.
And, you know, again, as John Schneider said in our show, you know, one of the things, and it's true about baseball, it's true about any sport, but I think it's particularly true about baseball.
Once things start to get out of control, quite often they really look bad.
I think the crowd was telling you in the ninth inning what they thought of the Blue Jays' performance tonight.
