| I like it every time somebody says "that one died a hero" on a broken-bat base hit |
Baseball is at its best, to me, when it is at its friendliest, which it very much was in the bottom of the seventh of this merry affair, when Vladimir Guerrero Jr. tipped his cap (a batting helmet is a type of cap, surely) in an extended fashion as he rounded first in acknowledgement of Detroit centre-fielder Willi Castro's nifty catch on what was something of a laser to the gap. Next up was Alejandro Kirk, who knocked a "hustle double" (they're all hustle doubles for my man here) to right, and was greeted at second base by a friendly little glove-hand tap on the rump by Javier Báez (friend of the squad). I was in a good place to enjoy all of these because of Matt Chapman's two home runs earlier in the evening and, above all, Yusei Kikuchi's single run allowed in his five innings of work. Yusei Kikuchi did a great job, everybody! He has been emboldened by our support! Of him!
