Sunday Bantering: Jays Bits

May 18, 2025 by Blue Bird Banter

MLB: Detroit Tigers at Toronto Blue Jays

Walk-off wins are the best.

The Jays have come back to win 12 times this year. The Athletic has a story about how important it is to come back to win, that the team couldn’t do it last year, and that it is the mark of a good team.

I think the mark of a good team is getting ahead early and lengthening the lead as the game progresses. I’d like them to win a few games like that.


Barbie Day was a big success, with over 40,000 people attending the game. That means to me that we will see a lot more of these special days in the future.

Anything that gets more people into the park is a good thing.


PEDs is still a thing:

Jose Alvarado receives an 80-game PED suspension without pay and will be ineligible for Postseason if Phillies reach.

Today’s lineup. Santander is batting fifth today. I still don’t understand why the Tigers walked him yesterday, but I’m glad they did.

Springer gets an off-day. Jonatan Clase deals in.
