2022 Game Fifty-Two: Blue Jays 12, Twins 3

The exigencies attendant to an ideal spring afternoon (a scooter trip to the park, an infinity of rounds of driveway basketball) prevented us from joining the game until the top of the third, at which time we were greeted by José Berríos' three-pitch strikeout of the estimable Byron Buxton (take a seat [we respect you so much though]). We had missed, though saw later, Bo Bichette's super swaggy second-deck homerun on a breaking ball that came in just a smidge above belt-high (and was, like, belted), but we were in plenty of time for the Vladdy homer, and also the Alejandro Kirk one that came right after a Téo triple (just delightful, man). Every Blue Jays' starter got on at least once, and fun was had by all as Berríos struck out a career-high thirteen, "settling in" as well as anyone could after the "early jitters" of that first-inning two-run home run. This was the perfectly pleasant one-sided laugher this perfectly pleasant Saturday afternoon demanded. I am here for this decorousness.
