@TashAndress Gotta feel so bad for Bieber - the announcers even said “I think pederson woke up and said I’m gonna swing at the first pitch” and he did and he got that run…
@TashAndress I was a bit surprised it wasn’t Macko coming back with Scherzer on IL… but Chad Dallas is good too. Fluharty just gonna have to keep carrying them as the LHP for now.
why does @AppleTV feel the need to show the interviews AFTER the game resumes play? Nothing for between innings but play gonna start? Better show a random Cease interview. #bluejays
#ONStorm#ONwx PSA: Oh ‘Hail’ No! 🧊
If you’ve been seeing tiny white ice pellets bouncing off your deck or car today across Southern Ontario… we hate to break it to you, but that’s not hail. It’s graupel.
Graupel forms when supercooled water droplets freeze onto snowflakes, creating soft, white pellets that look like little Styrofoam balls. Hail is very different. It forms inside thunderstorms with strong updrafts that keep lifting ice particles up and down, layering them until they become solid and rock hard.
So if it crunches softly underfoot and doesn’t dent your car, it’s graupel. Think of it as hail’s harmless, puffier cousin.
Graupel tends to show up more often in the early spring because the atmosphere is stuck in that awkward “in-between” phase. The air high up is still cold enough for snow, while the lower levels are just mild and unstable enough to produce showers or weak convective clouds.
That combination allows those supercooled droplets to latch onto falling snowflakes and freeze, forming graupel. In the summer, stronger storms and warmer air favour true hail instead. In the middle of winter, it’s usually too cold and stable for graupel to form at all.
And yes, every spring and fall we end up having this conversation again, so consider this your friendly seasonal PSA.
DON’T MAKE US TAP THE SIGN. 😅

They did so much more than anyone thought they could. They made the team that thought they’d sweep the series work for it - so great job Blue Jays, you should be so proud!
