| Dan Shulman has vowed to never say "Springer Dinger" on air; but we'll see. |
I was briefly called away with the bases loaded in the Atlanta-half of the second inning, and returned a moment later to find the score 4-0, and figured well, I guess that's that! And yet it was not, because, among other occurrences, George Springer hit his first two home runs as a Blue Jay (one of them went 470 feet!), both on 3-0 counts, which is pretty wild (Alejandro Kirk had the 3-0 green light the night before). Aside from Lourdes Gurriel's game-winning single in the 10th, one must also remark upon third base coach Luis Rivera's straight-up egregious send of Randall Grichuk on Gurriel's RBI double in the sixth: Grichuk was out by a mile, and instead of having the tying run at third with one out, there was nobody on with two away. It was so galling. And yet, ultimately, here we are.
Eight Blue Jays pitchers, by the way! There is no way the bullpen stays this good all season so we have to enjoy this as thoroughly as we are able while there is still time.
