2022 Game Thirty-Two: Yankees 5, Blue Jays 3

 

Vladdy: loves to field; like he just L O V E S it.

I mean, who knows, but you'd probably expect that the day game after a super demoralizing night game might see the Blue Jays come out a little flat, and that's sort of how this one read, right? Berrios was not awful, but certainly wasn't good (five runs in five-and-a-third), and there was just some carelessness, like Bo (who went three-for-five, and really does seem to be coming through it) misreading a passed ball and just standing around second (he was embarrassed about it), or Alejandro Kirk making an indifferent turn around that very same bag and getting tagged out on a weird play. There's nothing inherently terrible about a 5-3 loss to the Yankees in Yankee Stadium, but this was just not a crisp one, you know? Or so it seemed to me through the baseball-on-the-radio stylings of the excellent Ben Wagner as I performed a moderate number of household chores.
