“Hey is that Blake Snell?”
“No. Why would Blake Snell wear Dodgers stuff in public”
“Yeah good point.”

Blake Snell:

Hear me out: The "Ohtani rule" should work both ways. Teams should be able to use a pitcher taken out of the game as a hitter.

You're telling me Max Scherzer wouldn't have loved to grab a bat to face Kershaw with the bases loaded last night?

What's the record for intentional walks in a game to the starting pitcher?

Whatever it is, that record is getting broken tonight.

It’s where not having a serviceable Little hurts. They’re getting a lot of looks at him.

The Jays need to find another way to get the lefties out. They’ve seen Fluharty a lot and Little isn’t an option.

Would you want to face Ohtani a third time as the tying run? He’s mad but not crazy 😂

Just going to leave this here.

I’m just fake-quoting Manfred here

I think in Adams’ shoes, he would have preferred Norris to Dach because he knows his job relies on being competitive now. Of course, it’s a roll of the dice that either of them will be in the lineup any given night with their injury history.

“What’s the difference between this and Take Me Out to the Ball Game?”

I almost said best forward but stopped myself. For now.

Ivan Demidov is the most skilled forward I have seen in my life in a Canadiens uniform. Spare me the Kovalev mentions.

Like the Canadiens learned on Thursday, good teams can get through bad games by taking advantage of their power plays.

This time they’re the good team.

I dunno that Shohei guy’s pretty good 😂. But if getting Soto would have meant Vladdy’s gone, you are probably right.

One could argue the Blue Jays are the team operating *most* like the Dodgers, just the Dodgers (and Mets) won the big prizes they were after.

That was a Puck Don’t Lie kill

Montreal Victoire GM Danièle Sauvageau confirmed today that all three players re-signed today took less money earlier in the off-season in order to help the team re-build this off-season after the expansion draft losses and to help the team in free agency. #PWHL

For a lot of the last 40 years, a mid-week game, with a late start on the West Coast, with little scoring, is undoubtedly forgettable most of the time.

But now the Canadiens have Ivan Demidov and Lane Hutson. And they are must-see TV.

This is fun, and it's not guaranteed.

I’m 40 so I had them for half my life. I’ve only been a Jays fan for about 10 years. For the first few years I hated the Jays. Ironically a Mariners fan at the start (Vidro and Wilkerson!). I get people upset at the Jays and that’s fine! I just liked cheering for Martin and now Vlad.

As much as I want them to come back, they aren’t coming back. We have to take what we can get. I love baseball too much.

It's easy to forget now, but Vladdy isn't even the only Blue Jay to wear an Expos unform before...

Watching the Fox broadcast and boy did Joe Davis foreshadow everything about that inning. Talked about the Jays coming back all season before Barger’s walk and them needing a big hit before IKF’s single.

Looking forward to watching the SN broadcast after. I was otherwise occupied yesterday 😅

He was in the back but yeah I’m sure. Evans rushed his interview to go watch and Josh was like “they have first and second can I go out after”

Heck, even if you told me this a year ago I wouldn’t have believed you 😅

The 9 year old who witnessed the 1994 Strike, was devastated and wanted to be a sports writer would never ever be able to comprehend being in the Canadiens locker room during the home run that sent the Blue Jays to the World Series.

It’s not the Expos but it’ll do.

What a surreal moment.

Thinking out loud. Is Springer getting booed while injured in Game 5 and winning Game 7 the 2025 equivalent of Odor punching Bautista in May only to be eliminated by the Jays in 2016?

The Canadiens locker room erupted after Springer’s home run so much to the point that Jakub Dobeš - at the opposite end from the closed door where players were watching the game - had to stop talking and was wondering what happened.

I'm hearing that the team that wins has a pretty good chance at playing in the World Series is that true?

How dare you use facts to ruin my joke 😂
