Blue Jays' Prodigy, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Unveils Sincere Remarks Post Game Against Red Sox
In the wake of Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s thrilling homer that clinched the series against the Boston Red Sox, the AL East scene is heating up. As the Blue Jays get ready to face the Cleveland Guardians on Friday night, the team's spirit remains high.
After slamming a three-run homer in the eighth inning, giving Toronto a two-run lead, Guerrero shared his thoughts on the team's mindset with the media, explaining, "We never give up. Regardless of the score, we could be down 18-3 or whatever it is, we're still going to go out there and compete."
Toronto's manager, John Schneider, spoke about the emotional boost these comebacks deliver, especially following a hard-fought series win against a divisional foe. "I think I pulled a calf muscle when Vlad hit that," Schneider admitted. "It gets you going. You can slowly chip away and add runs, but when you get a big swing like that? It goes a little further. Emotions are real. Momentum is real."
The blue & white warriors recount a grueling week
While Guerrero's performance against the Red Sox certainly demonstrated why he received his staggering $500 million contract, it came after a difficult week for the Blue Jays. Having lost seven of their last eight games and facing a challenging schedule, the team was eager to turn things around.
"I'm obviously feeling good right now. We're coming off a tough week, and it was hard," Guerrero confessed. "But we're here right now, and we're getting better. Things are turning around, especially with us beating a team like Boston, a top-tier team. That says a lot about us."
With a .267 batting average, four home runs, and 17 RBIs in 31 games and 116 plate appearances this season, Guerrero and the team's turnaround has given the Blue Jays "momentum," as Schneider put it.
"Winning a series against a division opponent that's swinging well is significant," Schneider said, acknowledging the Red Sox's offensive prowess. "These last two nights have been huge. I said it last night that I hoped it would give us a bit of momentum. I think Vlad took that a bit further."
At 15-16, the Blue Jays sit third in their division as they kick off a three-game series on Friday night.
