Blue Jays Happy Hour - Episode 119: Confirmed Losers (of Game One Against the Twins)

Instant reactions to what was, unless you're a Twins fan, a pretty forgettable game one.

The Blue Jays played a decent, hard-fought game in Minneapolis on Tuesday evening, making some nice defensive plays, hitting some balls hard that found gloves, and getting the kind of outstanding relief work we’ve become accustomed to around here this season. Unfortunately, a couple of poorly located pitches from a struggling Kevin Gausman, some missed opportunities at the plate, a couple balls that just couldn’t quite leave the yard, and a glaring baserunning gaffe conspired to make it so that “decent” is about the nicest descriptor one can use—and one that’s maybe even too polite. They weren’t good enough. And because of that, tomorrow afternoon they’ll be playing with their season on the line.

In Episode 119 of Blue Jays Happy Hour, we talked about all that, and so much more.
