"Schneider is managing like he has a good bullpen, and he doesn't."

This game is too stressful, I'm heading out to watch Good Boy, a harrowing horror movie, for a more light-hearted and enjoyable change of pace.

Random thought: half the Mariners jerseys I saw at the Rogers Centre last night were for Brash.

There were no active Blue Jays reliever jerseys to be found. (I saw one Henke and one Romano.)

BREAKING: Have just been informed I appeared in the traditional 9th inning "depressed fan" montage on Sportsnet.

Chris Bassitt entered the game like a disappointed Dad who showed his kids how the job was supposed to have been done

In case you're wondering how the atmosphere inside the Rogers Centre is:

The guy beside me watched some Bills - Falcons on his phone, yelled "f*** baseball is dumb", got up, and left.

The first Jays reliever (of 5) to enter the game without giving up an earned run is, naturally, Chris Bassitt

Some great relief work by Bazardo, who works around a Lukes single and otherwise overpowers our bats. Down 3, to the sixth.

Seattle needs their bullpen to go 5 innings in hostile territory. Toronto back to their normal, comfortable position: comeback kids. Look out.

Yesavage out, Varland in.

Despite a promising matchup, this one quickly turned into a Bullpen Game for both teams.

Advantage should go to Toronto, but first they have work to do with two men on.

Stuff is happening. Arozarena was awarded second base on the Gimenez throwing error, but now the Jays are challenging

3-time Gold Glove winner Gimenez misses his throw to first base by about 12 feet. Runner on. Or is he? Umpires discussing.

Bottom of the order goes down quietly for both teams in the 4th. The 5th promises to be explosive. 3-3 ballgame.

Ernie Clement has now passed Vlad for the highest Blue Jays OPS this offseason. He leads off the bottom of the 4th against a new pitcher as Gilbert is gonzo.

Varsho looked fooled by that liner, but quickly recovered and went full horizontal to make a huge catch.

Game tied to the bottom of the 3rd and the Blue Jays, for what it's worth, now have all the momentum!!
