| and yet no |
A nice game for Bo Bichette—a home run, a double, looking really cool—but another rough outing for Alek Manoah, who has totally flipped places with Yusei Kikuchi this year, hasn't he? It's been since pretty much day one, too: his velocity was down in spring training, and despite the occasional promising inning, it hasn't really come back. Hard to feel good about it! The Blue Jays kept it close until the bottom of the eighth, when Trevor Richards was perhaps asked to do too much. Also, I must note, that despite not being one to really second-guess managerial decisions (I don't really find it fun to do), I was not wild about pinch-hitting the still-visibly-ill George Springer for Daulton Varsho because the Phillies brought in a lefty. It might have been a neat time for one of those Varsho drag bunts! But no.
