Looking back at it now, it seems I may have taken Friday night's loss too hard(ly) when I wondered aloud (electronically aloud [e-loud]) if it may have marked the Blue Jays' last day atop the AL Wild Card standings. As it turns out it was not, as the Mariners' win over the Rangers "coupled with" (ooh my) the Blue Jays very excellent and good 2-1 win over the Guardians puts us right back where we would very much like to be, thanks everybody, great job. Mitch White's day began inauspiciously, getting slightly squeezed en route to throwing seven-straight balls to open the game, before he gave a wry little smile on a generous call for the game's first strike, eight pitches in. I like this Mitch White, and I am pleased that we'll have him for quite a while! Solo home runs from both Matt Chapman and Teoscar Hernandez were really quite rad, as was, once again, the pen: Pop, Cimber, Bass, Yimi, and Jordan Romano for a four-out save (that's one of the best kinds). And so a win on "Victory Vlad" Bobblehead Day, which is a genuine mercy. Oh and also: Newfoundland's young fireballer Jaida Lee threw out the first pitch, with her whole Canada Games baseball team on hand to see it. Which was pretty neat! A solid day at the ballpark all around. Right, Téo?

early in this year a reporter asked David Price if he resented at all that he wasn't being looked at as a potential starter. He denied that it was, noting that younger players like Mitch White deserved to go and show their stuff so as to more effectively pursue a big fat contract, as Price is known to have done, some time ago. the dodgers being the dodgers there was still not a ton of room for White, and so my mixed feelings upon his being shipped out came down mainly as "positive" and I am taking further positive feelings from your enjoyment of his work. Like many young pitchers his "stuff" is quite solid when the control is there.
