2021 Game Fifty-Nine: Blue Jays 6, White Sox 2

 

That's how I feel too, guys

How fun was the eighth, I ask you, and yet I do not ask you so much as exclaim! With the Blue Jays down 2-1, Rowdy Tellez led off the inning by, well, by popping out to third, because he continues to just be brutal out there, and it's sad to see. But once that unpleasantness was behind us, consider the many pleasantnesses that soon followed: young Riley Adams took first on a wild pitch of a third strike, Semien and Bo each singled, loading the bases for Vladdy who drew the legitimately thrilling bases-loaded walk (these are so sweet when you get them, and such a drag when you give them up; guess which has happened way more so far this year!). As if that were not enough,  Téo's ridiculously tailor-made double-play grounder to second (on a 3-0 pitch after they just walked a guy with the bases loaded! I was so mad when he swung!) got kicked around and tossed away and two more runs came in. It felt like a miracle. More White Sox fielding-nonsense led to two more in the ninth but it was really that eighth that was a trip. Pretty good start for Manoh!
