Super proud of my guy Joel for the work he’s put in the last 3 weeks! Over 10mph increase in velo and still more left in the tank💪📈 Some of the big things we’ve been working on: -Changing the perception of where the energy comes from -Letting the arm unfold & Continous flow of energy -“Throwing the punch” from deeper -Breaks and getting to the finish Can’t wait to see how the next few months continue to progress! #The108Way

Can someone explain why are the BlueJays still pitching to Cal Raleigh? No one on base and 0 outs walk him. Dude has delivered in clutch all year. HR to tie ball game. Walk Him Please 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

Cal Raleigh, MVP moment. He hits a towering solo shot that just clears the left field wall to tie game five of the ALCS. @BlueJays 2 - 2 @Mariners B8th #TridentsUp #SeizeTheMoment #Postseason

Brice Matthews has 12 batted balls to this point in his major league career. He is averaging 96.2 MPH exit velocity and 8 of the 12 balls have been hit harder than 95 MPH. That’s insane. #Astros
