Yeah, no, it was a great win.
And as you said, I think the comparison to the 2025 team
is apt.
It felt like that throughout this game.
I think the way that they approached schemes was very reminiscent of how they approached a lot of games last year.
And you said it, it's the passing the baton kind of mentality, some really good competitive long at bats.
I think ahead of the game, John Schneider kind of talked about how it was going to be a
a day where the Blue Jays are going to have to wear their hard hats and have their lunch pails in the sense that it was going to be a tough game.
You're going to have to put the work in to be able to grind out some maybe long at bats and work the pitch come out for schemes.
And ultimately, the Blue Jays were able to do that.
And then they were able to get some decisive hits early and then in a big moment later in the game as well.
So all in all, a really great effort from the Blue Jays offense.
as well as their pitching staff.
how the year started because of the way that it ended.
But I think that the Blue Jays were kind of inconsistent and maybe trending in the right direction right around this time last year.
And so I think coming into this year, the expectations were so much higher.
You wanted to see the Blue Jays kind of hit the ground running a little bit.
They weren't able to do that.
But the reason why baseball is a long season is, you know, because sometimes it takes โ
teams a little wild to get into the groove of things.
