| Vladdy is happy for José Berríos |
Much like the great Dan Shulman, I am all-out-of-proportion-fond-of-it when a starting pitcher tips their cap to the appreciative crowd as they are relieved after a fine start. And so I am quite possibly all-out-of-proportion-fond of "La Makina" José Berríos, who is a real cap-tipper. Berríos is such a lovely guy to watch pitch, and seemingly just a lovely guy -- there is a kind of timeless classiness (classy timelessness?) to his demeanor that makes it seem like he could fit seamlessly into any era of baseball over at least the last fifty years or so. I just find him an appealing guy, is all. Also appealing: George Springer's bases-clearing, three-run bloop triple that ended with a grinning Springer making one-handed gun-fingers (and so gun-finger, then; singular, I suppose) towards the Blue Jays dugout while he was still tummeroo-down in the dirt. And how did "the boys" respond, you might ask? By hootin' and hollerin', more or less, have a look:
A little blurry but also very clear
That's Blue Jays baseball! It's really a lot of fun! Also it was nice to see Adam Cimber get the save in Jordan Romano's absence (tummy troubles of the kind that require medical intervention; not good).
That's the series! Gausman to the hill looking for the sweep! Let's go!
