0:18 “Hey man, what kind of cologne is that?”

Makes me miss those powerhouse Blue Jays teams that won the East every year. You don't know what you've got until it's gone

[thescatman]

I've seen the dangers of ricocheting bats and balls coaching my son's little league. And those were 7 yo's. I can only imagine a major league dude throwing a bat around... !

[alcnassau]

that's when things started to go down hill.

[Morphobro]

I don't care how much you get paid, the manager is the boss. He puts your name anywhere he wants on the lineup, and Donaldson can easily be batting nine hole if he wants to get smart.

[yeomans]

Vlad Jr could benefit from a manager that actually challenges him and his infantile ways

[CrociatoAzzurro]

I watched the game. Saw it on the Jays broadcast.
Gibby was wrong, IMO. He should have let Donaldson blow off some steam. No harm. I really like Gibby but he made it an issue.
