| Hey. He's a toughie. |
I'm not even going to especially mind the game-ending third-strike called against the struggling Rowdy Tellez on a pitch so egregiously low that it has attracted broad and non-partisan attention, because really, the deal with this one is that Gerrit Cole held the Blue Jays to just the one run (I did get pretty fired up over Vladdy's tidy little opposite-field RBI single though!), and Kyle Higashioka hit two home runs, and that was that. It was for sure a bad call, but balls and strikes aren't subject to instant replay, so what can you do? Because of a particularly poor use of instant replay on that play at the plate late in the Braves/Phillies Sunday night game, there is a lot of talk right now about how to reform instant replay to make it work better really just in terms of policies and protocols and suchlike, but for me, I would take it out of the game entirely until they can get it down the kind of precision they seem to have in tennis, and then let the robots reign. But until that time, let's just keep it moving -- like last night! Good pace out there, fellas!
Oh hey also, Robbie Ray looked so good for his first start of the year -- Ryu goes tonight!
