| my man is charged up (Drake voice: charged up) |
Although I would rather the Blue Jays not walk eleven batters (two in the eighth! three in the ninth!), so long as only one of those runners comes in to score over the course of a tense but rewarding 4-2 I do not feel as though I am really in much of a position to complain about it. Jordon Romano sure made things ticklish for a little in the ninth, didn't he? But everybody was all smiles when he worked his way out of it, only a couple of pitches after a ball was ripped just foul down the first-base: had it been maybe two feet the other way, it could easily have been a walk-off, bases-clearing double (Téo's arm notwithstanding). This was way better than that, though. Another great start from Alek Manoah, who is looking more and more like the AL Rookie of the Year, maybe, and, walks aside, more very good work from Mayza, Richards, and Romano in relief. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. continues to hit better than at any other point in his professional career, and I think I saw that after his home run in this one, he is just one RBI away from the Blue Jays' September record? That's hard to believe, and yet here we are. Bullpen day tomorrow for the rubber-match!
