2022 Game One-Hundred-Twenty-Five: Angels 2, Blue Jays 0

 

the fellas

also the fellas

The pregame ceremony honouring the thirtieth anniversary of the 1992 World Series Champion Toronto Blue Jays really couldn't have been better, nor could the pitchers' duel between Alek Manoah and Shohei Ohtani that followed, except for how the Blue Jays lost it 2-0. Both Manoah and Ohtani pitched beautifully, seven innings each, but Ohtani was just a little bit better, and the Blue Jays managed but two hits (a Springer single, a Vladdy double [Bo walked) all day. And so just like that, we've lost the series. At home. Against the Angels. Who are like twenty games below .500. This . . . this is no good, man. At least the other teams "in the hunt" have largely had the decency to lose as well, excepting the increasingly worrying Baltimore Orioles, who are lurking.
