| that's lanki*er*, Gausman, sure; but I've still gotta ask you to lanken up |
Weird how well the Mariners were laying off the splitter, wasn't it? I wonder if Kevin Gausman was maybe tipping his pitches a little? Or maybe the Mariners were just very well coached in this regard. Either way, Gausman put together a fine enough start: two runs on seven hits and a walk (a walk!) in five innings, although he did allow his first home run of the season (to the catcher Cal Raleigh, of all people). He might as well have allowed a dozen, for all the Blue Jays bats mustered. After the fairly awful road trip, a sweep against the slightly troubled Mariners would have felt pretty good, but we must always content ourselves with two-out-of-three I suppose (can't get in too much trouble taking two of three, can you). I am eager to see the Cincinnati Reds come to town for the weekend, because of how they had like an "almost historical" bad start to the year (though they are hotter than the Blue Jays in their last ten [yikes]), definitely, but mostly because it will allow us to enjoy the rare homecoming of beloved weirdo Joey Votto as he nears the end of what might very well prove to be a Hall of Fame career. Long may he run, obviously, but there comes a time. And the Reds come through so seldom.
