2023 Game Seventy-Three: Rangers 11, Blue Jays 7

 

oh come on man

It honestly never even crossed my mind, as the Blue Jays built an early 6-0 lead against the Rangers' fine starter John Gray, that they would squander it almost immediately and lose the game 11-7, and thereby drop the three-game series. Furthest thing from my mind! But Chris Bassitt couldn't keep it together, and as he himself noted afterwards, it is particularly brutal that he could not, in that it meant the Blue Jays essentially had back-to-back bullpen games. That's pretty tough on the guys! This road trip, frankly, stinks; and yet as we head to Miami, we are somehow only a half-game out of a playoff position, as the Astros continue to struggle, and the Yankees, for their part, lost both games of a double-header against the Red Sox yesterday. Could be worse?
