Glad someone does! Definitely posted through it last night like it was 2017.

I’m glad we discussed not doing the gentleman’s mute, because if this goes the way I want it to go I hope you see my posts. Bless.

Only thing holding me together right now is that I have game seven tickets.

Sportsnet putting up this graphic immediately after Schneider said that Little has been great is tremendous content.

At least now the Berrios pull will no longer be the most infamous managerial decision of the Schneider era.

If you told me the Jays would take two of three from the Mariners in Seattle with two games coming up at home, I would have been stoked. I am currently, decidedly, unstoked.

Mitch Pollock @mitchpollock.bsky.social · 1d

I didn’t know that Schneider managed both teams! Historic!

I’m so relieved there is so much angry consensus from our broadcasters. Righteous anger here.

Little has been bad for months. A 5.57 ERA from July 28 onward. 16 walks and 19 hits in 21 innings.

There’s no way he should be in there for the highest leverage situation of the entire season.

The shots of Brendon Little looking as dumbfounded as everyone else about why he was asked to pitch in the most obvious high leverage situation in the game are killing me

How unbelievably heartbreaking if that’s the moment that turns the series. What an extreme waste of good vibes in Jays land.

Man. It sucks for Little. I feel bad for him. But this is all on our manager. Unbelievable series altering bad call that literally everyone I know saw coming.

In John Schneider's defense only everyone I have ever known saw that coming.

Produced this interview for Q with Ryan Reynolds (@vancityreynolds.bsky.social) and I loved every second of it. All about the documentary 'John Candy: I Like Me' which made me weep at my desk. www.youtube.com/watch?v=abWg...

Ryan Reynolds shares how John Candy shaped his views on people-pleasing

Like, this image by the Blue Jays for game 4 tonight seems rad. But was it created by a human? Or AI slop? I can’t tell. And that is bummer.

Mitch Pollock @mitchpollock.bsky.social · 2d

A cool thing about 2025 is how any time I see a neat image or read something interesting my brain needs five seconds to ponder if it is AI or not.

154 km/h in FEBRUARY. This is a scandal.

Shawn Micallef @shawnmicallef.bsky.social · 3d

"Safe Parkside" filed a Freedom of Information request to get top speeds from the ill-fated & much abused Parkside camera. The speed limit is 40km/h.

Killers, all of them, with the ear & heart of Premier Doug Ford.

Sure. This probably ends bad. BUT, what if it didn’t???

TSN @tsnofficial.bsky.social · 4d

The Blue Jays will start Max Scherzer in Game 4 of the ALCS.

Mitch Pollock @mitchpollock.bsky.social · 4d

Wild that the strike called a ball in Arozerena's first at bat didn't even make the top 3! Felt like that one had an outsized impact on the game.

On the bright side, ticketmaster’s brutal ticket buying process prevented me from spending money to be at the game tonight.
AND I made a real nice ham and split pea soup.
AND the Jays can comeback from 2-0, I’m old enough to have seen it happen with my own eyes.
Go Jays!

The last time #Bluejays lost the first two games of a playoff series at home was in 2015, in the ALDS against the Texas Rangers.
