2021 Game Thirty-Eight: Blue Jays 4, Phillies 0

 

I will not be silenced
with regard to liking Vladdy Jr

A few batters and twenty-six pitches in, it looked like it was going to be a long night for Anthony Kay, or rather a short night for Anthony Kay and a long night for me, and yet this did not prove true! Kay gave about as much as one could reasonably have hoped for, with just three baserunners in four innings, plus he struck out six. The bullpen, which had an uncharacteristically bad outing the night before, went Bergen, Cole, Chatwood, Romano, and that was that, just the second shut-out for the Blue Jays so far this year. Vladdy hit another home run (his tenth!) and, just as cheeringly, Biggio and Gurriel had a pair of hits each. If those guys really get going, that'd be, like, seven guys who are currently really going, which is a couple more than you even need, honestly. But it would definitely be worth trying it just to see.
