Well, you know, Kevin Barker in twenty twenty. It was COVID. And no one really paid a great deal of attention to the fact the Jays lost to the Rays and the series, we had other things in our mind.

We'll go to uh live interviews and clubhouse celebrations in a few minutes few minutes. Uh Kevin, a bullpen game. After a loss last night that seemed like a gut punch. Um, Nathan Lucas with the key hit. This was this was very much kind of your your basic Blue Jays win, wasn't it?
Absolutely. Well, I mean, w you know, we started this thing by talking about it's gonna take the village, right? And tonight after the way the game ended last night. And you know, we were having the conversation would this be a winning edition of of Jay's talk after the game, and I don't think either one of us had an answer or or even wanted to talk about that because of how many arms John had to use. And just go down the list. I mean that that village, that thirteen against one, that twenty six. against one. I mean, it's just, you know, the next man up mentality throughout the entire night was huge for the Blue Jays. You know, Louis Varland came out and set the tone. I mean after the the way his night went last night, Jeff, for him to come out and get the four outs that he got and you know using all five pitches, yeah, he hit a batter to end that.
And then you just sort of pass the baton after that, right? It's it's just an onslaught of of all kinds of arms and him And John Snyder bringing in Sir Anthony Dominguez in the third inning and getting those five outs was huge. And you know, Eric Lauer, just the way he would maneuver around the judge and And you know, when John decided to walk judge, like every little decision that they were making was on point. And, you know, it was just basically he's saying, do it, let's go out there and get it done. And they got the big hit when they needed to get the big hit. They played defense the way they were supposed to play defense. I'm with you. This is a Jays win, right? This is sort of the way their entire season has went, is you know, it's just you're gonna grind, you're gonna figure out
out ways to pass the baton to your teammate, help your teammate be the best player or best version of themselves. And that's huge. After the way last night ended, for them to come out and do this, that just tells you all you need to know about the twenty-six guys that's on that roster.
Kevin, down the stretch, we saw the Blue Jays use a bullpen game with uh Louis Varland and Eric Lauer. Louis Varland opening, Eric Eric Lauer pitching uh a bulk roll. We saw them do that against the Boston Red Sox. Seven pitchers used, six perfect innings, eight strikeouts, a six one win. Tonight we saw eight Blue Jays pitchers used uh used by John Schneider, basically emptied his bullpen. Um Um and they kept the New York Yankees at bay. And to me the s the the story of this game Despite all the pitching changes. Despite all of that, Aaron Judge came up to the plate once tonight with a man on base. That was in the ninth inning. Yes, he did drive in a run, as it turns out the last run of the game. But other than that, um
Eric Judge did not put his imprint in this game and that Based on what happened last night, Kevin, that was absolutely crucial. And and I have to mention this again. We talked about the Yankees. We talked about their defense. Don't strike out.
