What is that like when you swoop in and cover a series for the roadside instead of the home side?

So that's it's a particularly interesting game, I think, to be on the roadside because you anytime you see a former Blue Jay on the opposing side, you know, we make the joke revenge game.

Isaiah kind of falafel had one against Trey Savage, et cetera.

And then Joey Loprafito is the hero and obviously short time in Toronto, but pretty well liked here.

What was the vibe around Loprafito pre and post game?

and he certainly got a piece of that one in the 11th off Braden Fisher.

I do want to talk about some of the Blue Jays' pitching side, but to me, despite the Astros putting up nine runs and a whole bunch of home runs, this game should have been winnable on the position player side, and I'm going to read you a couple of numbers here about the top of the order, Zach.

The top three in the order, which yesterday was George Springer, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., and Jesus Sanchez, and then David Schneider as a defensive replacement, which is a...

funny sentence to say given where we were a couple years ago with his left field defense that group went three for 17 with one walk zero extra base hits wasn't a case where it was productive outs no sacrifices in the group and i used this that win probability added sometimes on the show what was the likelihood that your team would win before you're at bat what was the likelihood your team would win after that at bat and those three combined for minus 0.7 wins

Obviously, there's only one win available in a game and Okamoto was worth as close to one as he could.

When you hear that, how I mean, how much is that the story of the game?

And then how much do you find yourself zooming out to?

Well, that's kind of the story of the offense season so far.

Results, yes, and underlying stuff.

Guerrero is just so far away at this point.

And he did have one hard hit ball in the... I think it was the second hung slider, but right to a fielder.

And then if you're looking and seeing the hit and the stolen base, soft infield single and a free stolen base, basically.

Also had the reach on a Nate Pearson error.

And you talk about strike zone judgment.

I mean, he's... Yeah, the chase rate is up and...
