Vlad Guerrero Jr, Hazel Mae, the city of Toronto, and a cameraman create an all-time baseball moment.

Vladdy when asked if he was ready for Game 7 tomorrow:

« I was born ready. I was born ready. »

Fabulous team effort tonight by the #BlueJays for a huge win in Game 6. Tied with the Mariners 3-3 and the momentum to win the # #ALCS! #WantItAll

Louis Varland pitched four terrific outs! Hurrah! #BlueJays 5 #Mariners 2. #ALCS Game 6.

I guess it makes sense, but it’s disappointing. Hope Varland is feeling good tonight. #BlueJays

Josh Naylor's solo shot cuts #Bluejays lead to 5-1 with 2out in top6. Yesavage then gives up a single to Randy Arozarena and he's done for the night.

Terrific start for the kid who began this season in low-A ball. Louis Varland is in.

Hope Schneider lets Yesavage get out of the inning.

I agree, it IS fun to watch from
home too. The experience is different but still exciting. I just remember the thrill (and anger, confusion, etc) of the bat flip game in person and it can’t be matched. Still, I’m not complaining. Hope you’re well, Christine.

Ernie Clement is so FAST! How did he get to 2nd so quickly? #BlueJays

Marla Waltman 🍁⚾️ @marlawd.bsky.social · 2h

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has six career postseason home runs, tying him with José Bautista and Joe Carter for the all-time #BlueJays lead. Amazing!

Vladimir Guerrero now stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Joe Carter and Jose Bautista in Blue Jays history with his sixth home run of this postseason. It is 5-0 #BlueJays in the fifth.

Sadly, I’m at home. When the postseason began I was going through a rough health challenge & wasn’t sure I’d be well enough to go to the games. Disappointed we didn’t buy tix but it was too risky. So I’m watching #BlueJays on TV like most Canadians. Oh well, I was lucky to go in 2015 & 2016. 💙⚾️

They are not making this easy, but Trey Yesavage turns back another bases-loaded situation by getting another double-play grounder, this time off the bat of J.P. Crawford. Beautifully turned by IKF and Andres Gimenez.

4-0 #Bluejays to bot4.

I wanna hear from you at [email protected]!!!

OMG, not sure my heart can take the stress. But, Yesavage gets the second double play of the game and the #BlueJays are out of the inning! Still 4-0 over the Mariners.

Wow.

Yesavage gets Cal Raleigh to ground into a 3-6-1 double play on the first pitch after loading the bases by walking Julio Rodriguez.

Massive.

2-0 #Bluejays to bot3.

I want to hear from you at [email protected]!!!
