What made the Blue Jays’ 20‑1 win over the Rockies so historic?
All right, well, Kevin Barker.
416-413-3959, the back leg line. Please help us out and call because I got nothing left to
say. Me either. I don't even know where to start.
I mean,
you don't even
have to leave your name and number today. Just call us. Yeah, well, I mean, it might be the worst team ever.
Here's
the thing. All right, so the Jays won 20-1 today. It's the most hits and runs they've had in a three-game series, 63 hits and 45 runs. Here's something that I think, Kevin, is probably the most telling about this series because it gets, again, to the identity of this team. I mean, for all the offense... Everything they've done. Kevin, they had 139 at-bats in those three games.
Yeah.
They struck out 15 times in 139 at-bats. How
many homers did
they hit? They hit 13 home runs. Well, the ninth inning doesn't count. They think about this. Yeah. 139 times. Yeah. 139 at-bats, 13 home runs, 15 strikeouts. I...
So what do you take away from this? What can you hang your hat on this three-game series in Colorado? Number one, screw your run
differential. Honestly, it's so bad. This series... It was just so bad from a Rockies point of view. Yeah. I don't know what I can take away from it. Bo hit some home runs. Yeah. Dalton Varshow crushed some home runs. Glad he was really good the other
way. Glad he hit an opposite field home run. Yeah, that's big. Two
opposite field home
runs. That's huge.
You know, I mean, pick a – Nathan Lucas,
up and down. Ty France today.
Davis Schneider. My question
is – Buddy Kennedy had a big at-bat. In the fifth inning?
Buddy Kennedy
had a big at-bat. Of course he did.
Absolutely. Of course he did. They've got an off day to go on to face the Dodgers. I'll ask you. Does this mean a damn thing, this series? I mean, I'm not – listen, I'm not taking away. I get the hits and I get the
runs.
Yeah.
What do you read into it? Yeah, it's a good question. You know, again, I'll tell you what, I'd love to see this. If this team played their home games at Coors Field.
Well, you know, the older pitching staff, I think, might have an issue with just trying to work through home games in that stadium. That's true. Might not be the easiest of things, but offensively. You know, the way they put the ball in play, I mean, it'd be something special just to see what the end of the year would look like. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I think the Vladdy going the other way is a big deal against velocity. You know, we see him in hitter's counts doing things that he should have been doing, quite frankly, all year. Doing that the other way is a giant deal. Going forward for the Jays, getting him hot, hitting homers. especially the other way, just tells you he's a little bit more on time.
He can do things in hitter's counts. One basically knows it's coming. That's a big deal. Bo, you know, from one at-bat to the other, the first at-bat, two of the first three pitches were breaking balls. He goes up looking for one. He backspins a breaking ball for a three-run homer to right field. That's a giant deal. Taking just the mindset of knowing sort of, you know, the game plans of one at-bat to the other is second to none right now. I mean, it's just really on point. Kevin Gosman, velocity, maintained it. Last pitch was 97. That's a big deal. I think he's pitching in a little bit more to righties. Righties have been giving a little trouble. That's a big deal. I mean, his split finger was okay, not great.
Didn't have to be great today. You know, because of the velocity, because of the location of the fastball, because of who he was facing. If I'm the commissioner's office, I'm chapped. Oh, here we go. You know, that ninth inning is a joke. I looked at you and said, who are they saving? Why are you pitching a position player? Who are you saving?
How did the Jays set franchise records for hits and runs in a three‑game series?
You're the worst team in the sport. Who are you saving? It's just a tough watch. I'm texting friends because I still do have lots of friends in Denver, and they go to the games all the time. It's even now getting to the point because they do draw a crowd to where people there are even going – Yeah, it's getting borderline jokish.
