| Alek Manoah is only one inch shorter than Aaron Judge but the mainstream media (through which I learned this fact) doesn't want you to know that |
Hey: hey: h e y: nobody wants to lose three-nothing to the Rays, wasting another excellent Alek Manoah start whilst Matt Chapman, of all people, commits two errors, to wrap a two-and-seven road trip. That's objectively brutal. And yet I have decided not to especially mind, and just be like, "man, rough road trip, right?" and let that be the end of it (emotionally). Were the playoffs to begin today (which I know that they do not), we would be in them, and we are back home for a week of eminently winnable games against the struggling Seattle Mariners (1977 expansion cousins!) and the genuinely suffering Cincinnati Reds (if Joey Votto does not make the trip everyone will be sad). Whether the Blue Jays had done tremendously this last week on the road, rather than distressingly awfully, the task this week would be identical: gotta go win a bunch of winnable games, fellas.
Also, I liked that Alek Manoah was really nice about the baffling Matt Chapman situation after the game, saying that even Matt Chapman is allowed to have a bad day. Let us all enjoy the freedom that thought might grant us.
