Cool
a rough stretch

A rough patch, by the numbers. Winning just 2 of 7 this week pulls the temperature down. Pair that with run differential of -5 this stretch. They're losing and losing badly.

Blue Jays News

The Toronto Blue Jays managed to edge the Cincinnati Reds 6-5 in a game that mirrored their tumultuous season, where late-game heroics were desperately needed. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. played a key role, but not before making headlines for all the wrong reasons earlier this week with controversial comments about his record-breaking contract. His subsequent apology before the game reflected the pressure he’s under as the team struggles, sitting at 77-82 with a disappointing 1-6 record over their last week. Despite the win, the Jays must address their offensive inconsistency, having only averaged 2.7 runs per game recently. As the season winds down, George Springer and the rest of the lineup need to find their stride quickly to regain momentum and give fans something to cheer about in these final games.

‘Everyone deserves an apology from me’: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. regretful over controversial contract comments
TORONTO — Several hours before Friday’s series opener against the Cincinnati Reds, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. stood outside the Blue Jays’ clubhouse in front of a dozen reporters, wanting to clear the air surrounding his earlier comments about his 14-year, $500 million contract — the richest in this franchise’s history.

Have you ever seen a double-hit like this?
Talk about getting the barrel on it. Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. technically squared up his RBI single in the seventh inning of Friday's 6-5 win over the Reds at Rogers Centre, but he did it in quite an unusual way. On an 0-2 sinker from Cincinnati reliever
