What made the Blue Jays’ historic 20‑1 win over the Rockies so dominant?

Julia Kreutz 0:10
Hello, good morning. Welcome to Jay's Talk+. This is a wonderful Thursday. I'm here with Show Alley as Blake Murphy continues to take a week off here. A well-deserved week off at that. There's been so much good to talk about this week, Show. It's been really amazing. The Blue Jays obviously yesterday in the afternoon beating the Rockies 20-1. In historic fashion, no team in the modern era of baseball, that is since 1901, has had more hits in a three-game series than the 63 that the Blue Jays got against the Colorado Rockies. Obviously, that's also a franchise record, a franchise record for runs scored in a three-game set as well with 45. And that is thanks in large parts to the 20-1 victory that we saw yesterday from a team that is fantastic.

Pretty much red hot right now. And listen, you kind of have to be red hot if you are in a division race as tight as the Blue Jays are right now playing the absolute worst team in the league in the most offense-friendly ballpark ever, right? It's kind of... In a weird way, it's kind of what we expected. I don't think anyone expected it to this degree show, but you look at the amount of bounce-back performances that the Blue Jays got after that lull period, it really could not have come at a better time, this little visit to Coors Field here. I know that you were working the game yesterday. I'm always curious to hear from you, you know, what the text line messages are on a day when they lose and when things maybe don't go very well.
Julia Kreutz 1:49
And there was some of that as
Blake Murphy 1:51
well. The Blue
Julia Kreutz 1:52
Jays making some errors again yesterday. But, I mean... The tone is positive, right? You can afford to make some mistakes here and there when you're hitting like that and when your starter is going seven innings and give you everything that you could hope for to just be in a good place on the pitching side as well. But I am curious, when a series like that happens, what is the tone of the messages and of the calls that we get pre- and post-game here?
Sho Ali 2:18
Yeah, I think they're pretty positive, right? I think the message... I saw the most frequently yesterday was, I don't think people are ever going to get over this, but I'm not saying they should, but the Michael Kay comments about run differential, right? I think that has resonated for a good chunk of the season. I think it'd be largely because it was right before the Blue Jays took first place in the division and they have effectively been in first place for like a month plus at this point, right? So I think there were, I cannot count how many texts we got that said something like some, some variation of like, boy, that'll help the run differential, right? Which is true, right? The Blue Jays have like a, what, a plus 55 run differential now?
Sho Ali 3:00
I mean, that's absurd. So yeah, I think you're right. When you talk about the series as a whole, it's hard to find like maybe more than two bad things that happened like in the entire series. I'm not even just talking about yesterday's game. Like over the course of three games, I find, if you find more than three things, I feel like you'd probably descend into like nitpicking at some point. You know what
Olivia Maher 3:26
I mean?
Sho Ali 3:26
Like sure, like maybe Jose Barrios had like an all right game in game two, right? I'm not even sure there is a negative from yesterday's game at this point. Yeah,
Julia Kreutz 3:36
I guess you could look at three errors and see that as... Sure, okay. It was two errors on the scoreboard. Got to clean
Sho Ali 3:41
up the defensive stuff a
Julia Kreutz 3:42
little bit. Yeah, it's still a thing. It feels
Sho Ali 3:44
pretty low on the
Julia Kreutz 3:45
priority list, right? Exactly. I mean, when you're scoring like that, you can't allow it. You can't allow yourself to be maybe a little less locked in in that sense.
Sho Ali 3:52
Oh, man, it's just funny. I do think you can... look at a good chunk of... Even if we just focus on Wednesday, I think you can look at a good chunk of that game and still feel great about the results, even knowing that, like, yes, they beat the breaks off the worst team in baseball in a very offensive, friendly, hitter-friendly environment. Like, I think those are caveats that have to absolutely apply 1,000%.
