How did Brandon Valenzuela’s first MLB home run impact the Jays’ 10‑4 win?
Alright, Captain Barker, well You laughed at me a little bit when I said that Beating the Dodgers followed up by an off day. Gave the Blue Jays the chance to reset. The season started tonight. Everything that happened before tonight irrelevant. John Schneider kind of agreed with me a bit. I think you you kind of put your your nose at a joint. But after a ten four win, after a night in which they had as many actually one more extra base hit than they've had in the previous five games combined. Are you finally prepared to admit That I was correct.
No, I mean b the first three innings I know you weren't thinking that. You didn't think that until after the fourth inning. So yeah, I mean you can come on here and say what you say. Uh but I've known you for a very long time. Okay, so I know what you were thinking the first couple innings. But look look, the if that's got much better second time through, hit it where it's pitch kind of thing, right? You know, they they were noticing that the starter was throwing everything away, right, slider fastball away. You go up and make a little bit of an adjustment, other than Sanchez right going to to right center, which staying in a big part of the field, you know, not over swinging, which sometimes he does, right?
You know, you get trying to get too much party. out front. But yeah, I mean the at bats were way, way, way better than they have been. And and I'd like to say that you know that Andres Jimenez at bat uh down four three with an 0-2 count with two strikes might have been the biggest at bat. Now I know Val Valence Wela hit the big home run, but he wouldn't have had a chance to hit that if Jimenez hadn't got that big two strike two out RBI to sort of pass the baton that way. So yeah everybody took a step four tonight, right? Coming into the game, what were they? Nineteenth in baseball and RBIs they had ten of those. Eight of the nine starters had one. You know, George looks like George again. Bladdy, less hand movement, pulling the all speed pitch, hitting the fastball to the mill to the big part of the field.
That's kinda how you do things. So when you got those two guys rolling, everybody else kinda falls in suit and Boy, they look like the old Jays again.
Well, you mentioned Vladi, you mentioned Andre Jimenez, you mentioned George Springer. So let's get right to the player of the game. The player of the game is brought to you by Capital One. Capital One giving Canadians credit. For over four million and counting. Well, I almost
want to give it to John Snyder because of you know the the two catching situations and you know he could he could go with either guy, but Brandon Vallezuela, you hitting his first homer, you know, I just mentioned it sort of bottom of the lineup. You know, first at bat, he was kind of timing up the off speed pitches. He got a curveball and two sliders. He swung at two of the three. He put the one in play. It just seems like the foot was down, shoulders were square and then he gets the hang and split, you know, there in the fourth inning, hits the big home run. So it's gotta be him. Good for him. Getting that first one out of the way. You know, now you can sorta You know, it just kinda act like now you're a big leaguer.
You know, you get the first of everything out of the way and then you start getting into the grind of the season. Hopefully, you know, he's turning the corner in certain situations, looks great behind the plate. For me that's an easy choice. It's gotta be the kid.
Four one six, eight seven zero, zero five ninety, star five ninety one triple eight, triple six, zero five ninety. The Blue Jays have beaten the Minnesota Twins in this first game of a three game series, ten to four. They out hit the twins fourteen to seven, had their biggest inning of the season, five runs in the fourth inning. And uh as Kevin Barker says, two of the biggest hits in that inning came with two outs. uh nine extra base hits. The only starter without a hit, uh Kazuma Okamoto. Um
Why'd you have to say that for?
They won by they
won by a lot.
