2021 Game Thirty-Three: Astros 7, Blue Jays 4

 

Oh no.

It is not everyday that I am like, "I like the way this Pat Tabler thinks," despite having actually grown quite fond of his interest in stroooooong haaaaaaaaands over the years, but yesterday I definitely felt that way: after the Astros got to not just Nate Pearson (who just did not have it at all in his season début) but also Anthony Kay to make 7-0, Pat wondered if Zach Greinke, with the big lead, might unleash a couple of his wildly charismatic eephus pitches. Oh man, maybe he will, Pat! He did not, and instead the Blue Jays had just such a five-hit, four-run rally that at once delighted, because of how it ruled, but also brought pain, in that it changed the three-runs Kay had allowed from "ah, who cares" to "dang it, Kay, it would have been tied now." And yet. Ah well. Off to Atlanta!
