Blue Jays Manoah: "We're The Best Team in Baseball"

Toronto Blue Jays rookie starter Alek Manoah is a man who has full confidence in his abilities. It shows when he's on the mound and it shows when he's cutting interviews. Not only is Manoah confident in his own game, he sees his teammates performing every day and after the Blue Jays defeated the Minnesota Twins on Sunday, the rookie let everyone in the MLB know his team is for real.

Manoah led the Jays to a 5-2 victory over the Twins and proceeded to turn some heads with his post-game interview.

The rookie hurler has been in beast mode since the first time he took the bump. The Jays are now one game back of the wild card and head back to Toronto where they finally will be able to play in front of big crowds. The government has approved the team allowing 30,000 fans into the building for their final two weeks of the season.
