Blue Jays 12, Orioles 5: Just doubles, bro; just, like fvkkn DOUBLES, bro

that's a double
Of the many things Joe Morgan has said over the years that infuriated stats doodz (no diss), the one that comes first to mind is his thing about how home runs are rally-killers; what you really want is doubles. This is of course of absurd: you want home runs; there is no better outcome than a home run; what even is this. HOWEVER, emotionally, I get it: once you chain a couple doubles together, it feels like they might never stop, just doubles doubling around like Abner Doubleday spending doublouns in Dublin, or whatever (shut up). And so they did

Also, god bless Mark Buehrle, who does not make people wait around between pitches to find out whether or not there will be further pitches; "there will be," he assures you through action.
