| This part was good |
Hey. Hey. Nobody, least of all me, wanted to see the first inning today pretty much be the ninth inning from yesterday all over again, with walks and nonsense and a grand slam and a Pete Walker ejection (not all of that stuff happened yesterday but I am unbothered by that aspect of this); nor did the seven runs (seven!) Tampa put up in the top of the eleventh hold much appeal. But what happened in between? Well, a lot of good stuff! I am fond of each of the Blue Jays home runs, for instance, and for those Blue Jays who elected to hit them: Teoscar Hernandez, Lourdes Gurriel Jr., Marcus Semien, and, twice (including once ridiculously), Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who is/has plainly been the best hitter in baseball so far this season. The Blue Jays are back down to .500, but head to New York only five-and-a-half games out of first, which is not so bad when you are currently playing the worst baseball you are likely to manage all year, and the team that is in first has won ten in a row (they are the Rays, and four of those ten were against us just now, but again, big picture hear, folks). If the 2021 Blue Jays are a .500 team, they are setting up to be the most fun .500 team in Blue Jays history, with the most exciting young hitter we have ever had, and I am very content for that to be our summer together. But if they can figure it out and stay in the mix a little while, that'd be fun, too.
