I believe it’s the second most hits and second most home runs over a three game series in the modern era.
Both teams were very impressive for very different reasons.
When the Jays play their game they are very impressive. We did not see that the week before. Booting the ball, chasing out of the zone, striking out a lot, taking pitches right down the middle. Hopefully the thin air has cured them. It will be a tough series against the Dodgers. I think it is winnable. Especially the Snell game. You can get to Snell if you don't chase.

Totally a winnable series against the Dodgers. We’re like .560 against teams over .500 and we have a gang of them coming up.
An aside: I have never liked position players coming in to pitch, but understand why competitive teams need to do it once or twice a year. There is no way a team as bad as the Rockies should be allowed to do this. A million games under .500, fielding an Intercounty Baseball League-caliber Team, and a dude comes in to throw BP is just embarrassing.
I’d love to hear the territory’s thoughts on position players pitching.

I think it is kind of silly but I understand why teams do it. To your point, not sure why the worst team in the league needs to do it. Send a guy out for another inning or use another arm. It's not like it matters if your bullpen is short the next game, you are going to lose anyways.
