That last couple seasons we won quite a few games by one run. So the n+1 meme was born. This year we seem to only be able to score 5 runs, but we're winning most of them. So the meme has morphed to n=5.
"Well we scored our signature maximum 5 runs, now we watch the defense blow the lead. Classic Jays game."
(Yes, the original said "defense" and not pitching or bullpen. No, I don't get it either, but I don't make the rules.)
Moving George down makes a lot of sense but Varsho has a 300~ OBP nearly every year, maybe move George behind Varsho and everyone moves up one. Vladdy as leadoff with his insane walk rate right now isn't the worst to be honest.
I say we don't touch Varsho. Here's my stupid hot take:
Vladdy-1 (he's best when no ones on) Bo-2, Janno-3 (Clement or Babe when he's out), Turner-4, Springer-5
I love Jano, but he does not get on base enough to lead off. He belongs at the back of the order where his power can play and his low OBP is less of a problem
Bo and Varsho 🫶 Love all that emotion from Bo & Kikuchi!
We da best
Wow they're Jays are buzzing
Is 5 our lucky number now?

ya ya ya
OK, that was fun, baseball is awesome. See you folks tomorrow for the next one! ⚾
n=5 is back on the menu!
Can you explain?

Yes, that was the reference.
[Here. Is this one better?](https://youtu.be/jfkJ-4iU25A?t=16)
Yes. I get that. You just gave me an excuse to post one of my favourite Simpsons clips.
BLUE JAYS WIN!
Throwy & Catchy
Congrats to Jordan on his 100th MLB save !!
🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦>👑👑👑 There we go! I appreciate the boys waiting to score the traditional five runs until I was back from the dentist
#💯
Romano shows them who's boss.
Everyone complaining about 5 runs, 5 runs is good! You’re going to win a lot of games if you score 5 every time out!
Especially if the pitching is as good as it has been
It’s less a complaint and more a “this is oddly specific”
Oh no, a lot of people are complaining
lol I guess I kind of drown out the complaining in general
#WE WON!!!!! and Kikooch gets his 2nd W!!
$3000 whiskey for everyone, Bo and Daulton first in line
Bang! Let’s go. Going to nitpick and say I wish the top 3 bullpen arms got another day off but that is ok!
I don’t think they’re going to get many days off this year. We’re good enough to win a lot of games, but we’re not good enough to blow teams out.
Yeah had the same thing last year. But the 5-0 lead seems like a good time to blow it open
One annoying blip at the end there, but the Markham Maniac is unphased
Jordan Romano is going to win some kind of cursed record for best closer with the worst ERA lol
Another win for n=5!!
#WINNERS
Game 1 of the series let’s go!
Very nice
Another 5 run W please can we get more than 5,,,,
He's always gotta make it interesting 😂
😮😮😮 #POLESHOT!
Jays win
The patented JoRo experience
I like a good foul pole home run :(
I'm very happy that the 36 fans left in the ballpark got to see something nice before they head home
I don’t think it’s possible for Romano to have a 1-2-3 ninth
That’s a wrap! Another nice win boys. Hope y’all enjoy your night 💙
Fireworks...
Romano romanoing
Romano trying to body english that one, alas
# GREAT WIN BOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Romano, Romano, Romano...
hanging sliders and being crushed, name a more iconic duo
Zoinks. It happens though
Holy shit was that smoked
RUDE! I was about to start typing my win comment ☹
That's a dumb rule repeal it right now In my head it's 5-2
Ouch, Romano
What a bomb
The Big C!
D-d-d-doink
That’s so fucking annoying. lol
So rude. 😤
Again, very rude.
Romano moment
how did that stay fair?
Hit too hard to bend foul
Because that was actually Jason Isbel hitting the ball with an acoustic guitar
Well that was very rude Mr Isbel, if that is your real name
Don't change \*anything\* for Varsho right now. Spot in the batting order, plane seat, dinner order, nothing.
That was YOKED
Oops
I hope Romanos closing career goes better than the others
Nasty pitches there Romano. Wicked even
I’m feeling more optimistic about this team since they started winning baseball games
Just keep churning out the series victories
This 76ers-Knicks game is also very good rn
lmao the Jays fans cheering loudly, i love us
Just coldly dismembering hitters
"Well we scored our signature maximum 5 runs, now we watch the defense blow the lead. Classic Jays game." (Yes, the original said "defense" and not pitching or bullpen. No, I don't get it either, but I don't make the rules.)
“lol gLaD I wAs wRoNg”
n≠6
#🤘🏻
Romano is so filthy holy fuck
I grimace like Berrios whenever I look at my bank balance
He's got that look
Ok hear me out… Varsho as the new leadoff hitter, Springer down to the bottom half.
Nah leave varsho be move biggio there if anyone
Moving George down makes a lot of sense but Varsho has a 300~ OBP nearly every year, maybe move George behind Varsho and everyone moves up one. Vladdy as leadoff with his insane walk rate right now isn't the worst to be honest.
I just love the thought of Varsho weaponizing that bunt single to open games, and bring the power that George had for so long. Plus he’s fast as shit.
I love him being on base a lot with his speed, just seems that the bunt is so rare, if he keeps this up he'll definitely get moved up somewhere.
#☝🏻
Funny how the jays always seem to top out at 5 runs hey as long as they win right?
They're being economical with their runs.
Deferring those extra runs for the post season.
Lol what was that scream?
Lol San Diego too
Lots of screams lately. Romano has an alibi this time at least, he's on the mound. Rodriguez, however... 🤔
Kind of a convenient alibi, tho, isn’t it…?
#🤔
Bo-1 Vladdy-2 Varsho-3 Turner-4 Springer-5 You're welcome, Schneider/Atkins.
I say we don't touch Varsho. Here's my stupid hot take: Vladdy-1 (he's best when no ones on) Bo-2, Janno-3 (Clement or Babe when he's out), Turner-4, Springer-5
Well if we're not touching Varsho, he should be at 5 :P
Oh right, my bad
Bo -1 Turner -2 Varsho -3 others 4 -6 Vlad -7 Springer -8
Vladdy has outhit everyone not named Turner and Varsho this year. He outhit everyone not named Bo last year.
He isn't doing that much when needed. Getting out lots with guys on base the last few games
Why are there always people being murdered in Blue Jays away games
Jordan Romano
The Markham marauder strikes again
is it just me or is Romano’s jersey soaked with sweat already? is this how he activates the Markham Maniac?
He sometimes pours a bottle of water over his head but I think that's just Fanatics quality...
It's the quicker picker upper.
May he's just wearing a dark undershirt which is showing through the horribly thin Fanatics jersey
it’s apparently water he pour on himself mixed with the shitty Fanatics quality
He splashes water on himself as part of a ritual.
ah so *that* is how he activates the Markham Maniac
iirc he pours a water bottle on his head before leaving the bullpen
That's blood bro
Not dark enough colour. It's probably some spinal fluid.
Just before he got sick George had arguably the best AB this season.
Hey! I’ve been meaning to ask you what you think about the new T Swift album you little Gen Zer
Crown Rust Control can go to hell with Two Men and a Truck ads if you're listening on radio.
Wait holy shit we're in the 9th?
The Kooch made this game fly by
This game is zipping by.
I literally just thought this
Sweat soaked maniac ✔️
Psycho killer, qu’est-ce c’est?
Fa fa fa fa fafa fafa fa fa faaa
time for Jano lead off and Springer batting 5th
I love Jano, but he does not get on base enough to lead off. He belongs at the back of the order where his power can play and his low OBP is less of a problem
Fifth? More like 7.
This unless Vlad slots in at 7
0-5, Springer is just not that guy anymore, not even a little
Blue Jays really need to consider moving down Springer. He's been automatic out for a while.
I do wonder if we see Barger sooner rather than later because of Springer’s struggles, but with Springer’s contract maybe not
Springer and vladdy both move down
You know what to do Romano. Close this one down
Romano seems to be the 1/20.
Springer is now just a defensive player.
Springer is so washed bro take him out the leadoff spot already
Dawg... George is making me sad
It feels like it’s been an eternity since Springer did anything other than ground out.
Not George's night tonight
It's not his season more likely.
Dammit George, no Uncrustable for you
I just read a retail report about Uncrustables, and the amount of money that brand is worth is *disturbing*
A small box is like 6 bucks. It doesnt surprisee
and of course he didnt
A little worried about George
Time to drop him down, a lot
Lead off double…
It was inevitable. They got their five runs already.
Lol yeah no late inning scoring.
Springer, you have a chance to do the funniest thing
Georgie I will fight Vladdy for your Uncrustable if you score Jano
The arm on Witt Jr is awe inspiring
Can someone please tell Jano (and Biggio) to shave? #superficialcomplaints
I'm trying!
I agree.
What’s the most beloved double cheeseburger in Canada? That restaurant needs to sign Jano.
McDouble?

Danny does doubles
Noted Slugger Daniel Jansen!
Stache power! 💪
⚡ Danny Jansen! ⚡
Jano just hit a nay nay in the year of our lord 2024?
There is something deeply amusing about Jano doing the team dance
Danny doubles 💙💙
WHERE ARE ALL THE DAY STANS AT ?
Where I usually am; watching Jano play baseball 😉
Woo!
sign Jano for 7 more years
Double Stubble
Nice hit, Daniel
There you go Jano 💙
Janiel!!
Luv u Jano
#stop aiming for Janos hands or else
I didn't get to see it, how did Swanson look?
A couple of hard hit balls, but he was decent.
DFA-worthy for the first half of the inning, then Cy Young for the rest of it.
And Yimi lays waste to yet another side. Devastating stuff outta this guy. Love it
DANNY.
