2022 Game One-Hundred-Thirty-Five: Orioles 9, Blue Jays 6

 

Mitch White did not have "big fun" in Baltimore

Five runs in two-and-a-third from Mitch White didn't do us any favours, nor did the four further runs the bullpen allowed thereafter. Had Trevor Richards, who has been really good lately, not given up three of those bullpen runs, then maybe? But alas. Bo Bichette homered again, this time as part of a four-for-five night, which interestingly brings him to an OPS+ of 121 or a wRC+ of 122 on the season, both of which are precisely the same as his 2021 numbers: although Bo hasn't quite put up the same kinds of totals he did last year, offense is down league-wide, and, relative to the league, he is having the same season at the plate as he did last year. Wild, right? Beyond that, weirdly overconfident inconsequential reliever Bryan Baker decided to be unkind towards Téo and the benches cleared for a bit, but it was, in the end, not really a big deal. Imagine how much of a jerk you have to be to be mean to Téo, though. Fool. Ish. Ness.
