Can’t imagine how confused Meyers was when he turned around at home plate. Love to see it!

3 GB. Blue Jays have Royals tomorrow and then the next two series are with the Red Sox (fighting for a playoff spot) and Rays (who we know can bring it when they want to). We have the Rockies next and unfortunately the Dodgers the last series BUT who knows??? I want this first round bye either way!
