So things got a little baseball last night.
It was not a lineup for the ages.

Of course, after all the posturing last night on the part of the Barves, this happened:
And of course MLB will stay silent. Somehow they always do when it's our guys being thrown at. Here's a cause to take up, Mr Shapiro.Julio TeherΓ‘n's pitch to hit Bautista was 95.6 MPH. It was his fastest since 2015.— ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) May 18, 2017
However, that was the only highlight the Barves got to have.
Imagine throwing a big hissy fit, playing tough to the media, then allowing a double and a home run to Darrell Ceciliani.— Blue Jays Nation (@thejaysnation) May 19, 2017
Maile and Stroman back-to-back homers is something that just happened. No, seriously, it just happened. #BlueJays— Gregor Chisholm (@gregorMLB) May 19, 2017
Has there been a more unlikely pair of back-to-back homers in #BlueJays history than Maile-Stroman? Discuss.— Shi Davidi (@ShiDavidi) May 19, 2017
Travis liked it.Marcus Stroman has more home runs in 2017 than Xander Bogaerts, Alex Gordon, and Adrian Gonzalez. He has more doubles than Jason Heyward.— Jonah Birenbaum (@birenball) May 19, 2017

Jose Bautista smiles as he's asked about Stroman's HR "I'm sure we'll hear about it for a very long time." #BlueJays— Hazel Mae (@thehazelmae) May 19, 2017
Even had some current and ex-Jays getting feisty on the twitter machine:
