2022 Game One-Hundred-Forty-Eight: Blue Jays 18, Phillies 11

 

Blue Jays legend Jackie Bradley Jr.

For the first time in kind of a while, a troubled start for Ross Stripling, not that it mattered all that much on account of: the eighteen runs. And so few of them came on home runs, curiously: Matt Chapman's, certainly, and Jackie Bradley Jr.'s, but aside from that it was just an infinity of hits (literally twenty-one), four of which came from Téo, whom we all wish to prosper. Stripling was probably due, indeed overdue, for a less-than-stellar outing, and it's fine, we'll all just overlook this one, no problem at all, but Julian Merryweather got pasted for five runs in two-thirds of an inning of relief and got demoted pretty much right after. I don't even remember who they recalled in his place! I don't think it was a name I recognized! Harsh realm.
