His best years may be behind him at 39 but we'll take this Jammer - Saw him come on stage with the band in 2013 in Pittsburgh - quite the speech he gave...lo.l Let's hope we see some "Whipping" in Toronto!!!!

    He's a reliever right?
    Any projection on when we'll see him?

    While waiting in the wrong line to enter the GA at the 1st Toronto show I realized Mark Shapiro was standing behind us. Overheard him talking positively about Tulo but otherwise didn't turn around and bother him.

    He's with the team now. Good chance we'll see him tonight against the Yankees.

    He's up in the pen right now!

    He's in the game. Facing Beltran with 2 on and 2 out. Couldn't hear the song when he entered.

    You should've told Shapiro to go back to Cleveland.... And take the rest of his lackeys with him.

    Great start by Sanchez tonight.... Interesting but effective debut for Grilli

    Got dicey with that pickoff attempt but I'll take it!

    I was just at the game, he warmed up with whipping playing.

    Chalk that up to nerves, looked pretty good otherwise.

    From the 2013 season when Grilli was with the Pirates. Was always awesome to know Whipping was coming up when the Pirates went to the 9th in a save situation.

    I appreciate that he comes out a deep album cut as opposed to one of the "hits".

    He just struck out the side to close it out in a big win against Baltimore. He looked pumped too! Pretty solid in his Toronto appearances so far.

    As a Jays fan, I'm super fired up to have him! Looks like a solid vet. Pitched fantastic today!

    It got dicey but Grilli held off the Orioles again. Massive high pressure save! #whipping

    Was at yesterdays game - it was dicey. Very cool to hear him walk up to whipping though!
