2021 Game Forty-Four: Rays 3, Blue Jays 1

 

Times have gotten so tough even Marcus Semien
is making errors (well just one [not on this play])

In the midst of a four-game Blue Jays losing streak (unlike the Rays, who have won nine straight!), I have elected to remain positive, and to keep up the chatter: attaboy, Robbie Ray! Seven innings? Five hits? No walks? Seven strikeouts? Like a million grunts? Nice! Also positive: Hyun-Jin Ryu throws today, so there is every reason to think this little slide ends this afternoon. Coming into this brutal ten-game stretch against good teams in the division, I felt like as long as the Blue Jays come through it more or less intact -- I don't need a winning record here, or even five and five; four and six would be fine! -- they are set up for a really nice run as the schedule not only softens up, but like really softens up. And I think this is still within reach! It would be a drag, though, to only win the Ryu games.
