| Those hats still look good |
A lot of runners, not a lot of runs! This game caused me to reflect on how everyone's impression of their team seems to be that they are terrible with runners in scoring position, regardless of their team's actual performance in that promising yet potentially agonizing circumstance. And then I saw that the Blue Jays are actually like the third best in baseball with runners in scoring position. Well not tonight, they weren't, I thought subsequently. I don't even mind that Thornton and Edwards combined for a truly ragged eighth inning, because the bats just weren't getting it done against Carlos Rodón et al. Bo and Vladdy got on plenty, but Téo and Grichuk were a combined oh-for-eight behind them. Not good! And so Robbie Ray's thirteen strikeouts (thirteen!) amounted to, well, not nothing, as they were pretty cool, but they did not amount to a win, certainly.
