So to me, even if the Blue Jays can kind of do what they did on the weekends against Baltimore or even throughout this road trip, if you can kind of get by with the patchwork you've been doing with the starters and even the bullpen, I think you're in a decent position

is can you produce runs because you're going to have to produce runs against this potent Atlanta lineup you're not going to be able to in my opinion scuffle out a 2-1 or a 3-2 game I think you're going to have to produce runs and really

real dangerous and real sideways in a hurry down in Georgia.

I even go back to not just a couple of nights ago in game seven and the tears and the emotion of winning the West and beating OKC in their building.

JTP: Braves Preview, Varsho’s Swing Changes & Jon Morosi

I think in this era, and I don't want to try and wax too poetic here, but in this era of $50 million contracts per season and $500 million deals overall, and I'm talking all sports, baseball, basketball, football, hockey, et cetera, all the money that's out there, I feel like sometimes...
