@elroycrabs's rating of Blue Jays vs Giants

@elroycrabs rated the Blue Jays vs Giants game 8.2 out of 10 in MLB on July 8, 2026. Final score: Blue Jays 9 – Giants 3. Reg. Season. Fan ratings and discussion on RateGame.

“After the worst three-game stretch in recent memory, a slightly-different version of the Jays came back ready for a fight. Jonatan Clase, Sean Keys, and Brandon Valenzuela showed the Giants how we do things back in Buffalo while Ernie Clement decided if no one else wanted any hits that he was going to take them all. The good bullpen game quirk continues somehow as well. Change was the name of the game, and it worked. I hope Schneider will continue toying with things to figure out how to consistently get these kinds of performances out of his guys. Some thoughts: * Valenzuela and Kirk should have equal time behind the plate going forward * Keep Ernie as lead-off * If they want Springer in the lineup, he may need to do some games in the outfield so we can keep someone like Keys at DH * If Vladdy doesn't show improvement after the All-Star Break, I'm not opposed to an IL stint”
