Why was Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s first home run at Rogers Centre so significant for the Blue Jays?
Here comes the 3-2.
Hit win. Deep left. They'll face a 3-2 pitch. And hit it in the air. Deep left field. Hooking over the Blue J pen. It's good! Vladimir Guerrero Jr. goes deep at home for the first time since game six of the American League Championship Series. 3-1 Blue Jays.
Révaud 2 en 2 aujourd'hui. La balle
d'aplomb en direction du champ gauche. Levels. F.
Yeah, finale indeed. That was uh I mean it's it was so rare to see Vlady hit a home run at home, we figured we'd uh we tried to find a Spanish language. Call of it. We did didn't exist. Uh the uh French language call, by the way, courtesy of our very good friends at Tave Us Sports. Uh it's Blair and Barker. Uh for Monday, the Jays won a series, Vladdy hit a home run. All's good, right, Kev?
Yeah, I think so. I mean, the way the pitching looks, the way they're playing defense, uh, the way they're starting to hit a little bit more, uh their their lineup just looks totally different when that dude's on time. I mean, he's on but he's been on time two days in a row. I mean, the double hit to right center yesterday, obviously his takes look better. For him to be able to get to the effortless finish. I've talked to you about that forever. Don't look at how they start, look at how they finish. That'll tell you everything and you need to know about how they feel. And That just kind of sums it up. Last couple of days, he's been able to get to that real easy. That means his takes are better. He's covering things.
He hasn't been covering in a while, different speeds. We saw him hit velocity in the air, which is a big deal. Like I'm not saying this is gonna happen going forward, but for two days, Jeff, it was just real nice to watch.
The uh Jays. Took the final two games of that three game series against the Baltimore Orioles. Scoring fifteen runs on ten extra base hits, including five homers. Uh in wins on Saturday and Sunday. That home run for Vlady was his first home run at home. in a sixty eighth home game of the season. Uh as you heard, uh I think it was Ben Shulman with a call first since game six. of the ALCS it was off Trevor Rogers part of a back to back to back Home run barrage by George Springer. Vladimir Grero J Junior and Kazuma Okamoto. The Jays back to five hundred. At seventy five and seventy five, ahead of a three game series that begins tonight against the Detroit Tigers. Why don't we look at The wild card standings.
Set. The Guardians start a three game series against the White Sox tonight. We'll talk about that in a minute. They currently hold the final wild card spot. The Jays at seventy-five and seventy-five are a game back. Texas And the Jays uh play the Rangers later later this week are seventy four and seventy six. They're two back. Baltimore's four back. Seventy two and seventy eight, the twins, five and a half back. The same as the Tigers. We're seventy seventy and I we don't really care about the Mariners. And the Royals. The Guardians, as I mentioned, started three game series against the Chicago White Sox. Now The conventional thinking I would think. Is that you'd be cheering for a White Sox sweep. And a you know, preferably a J sweep of the Tigers or at least winning the series.
Uh because the Jays do have the tiebreaker over Cleveland. Here's the thing though, Kevin. I'm not certain that I wouldn't rather have the Guardian sweep the White Sox. Have the White Sox fall into the wild card race, even though I know they have the season series over the Jays. Uh they've won five of six games between the teams. That was much, much earlier in the year. And indeed I think that series against the White Sox probably told us a lot about the type of year it was gonna be for the Blue Jays. But frankly I'd rather have the White Sox in that wild card spot. Than Cleveland. Because I have a better feeling about Cleveland going on a roll than I do about the White Sox going on. And I understand a lot of that has been there and done that.
I I I'm you know, I'm probably putting way too much stock in that, but I just I still think I still think the Guardians are
