| I think he's gonna make it |
Well this is much more like it! What a pleasing result, though the two-hour-and-forty-five-minute rain delay meant that I did not catch much of this one at all: I missed Ohtani's triple (you never want to miss a triple), Vladamir Guerrero Jr.'s steal of third base (WHAT!), and the two errors charged to Jose Iglesias on the same play (poor guy), but tuned in just in time to see Vladdy work a bases-loaded walk right after, I was told, Bo Bichette had walked in identical circumstances. Randall Grichuk's bases-clearing double was pretty much it for me, although not for the Blue Jays, who ran it all the way up to fifteen runs with nary a dinger amongst their fourteen hits. Bo Bichette knocked in five, young Josh Palacious went four-for-four with a walk, and Steve Matz has only allowed two earned runs in the twelve-and-a-third innings he's pitched so far. If each of these trends continued, I mean, imagine it.
Did you maybe already see the nice part where Vladito called Santiago Espinal over to meet Albert Pujols? If you haven't, it is here, and quite lovely. Such a strange dynamic, in that Espinal is four years older than Vladdy, and yet it all totally makes sense when you think about it. Neat!
