2023 Game Ninety-Six: Padres 2, Blue Jays 0

 

Yu Darvish: a longer guy than I had previously appreciated

A tough one, to be sure, as the only runs came in the fifth after José Berrios seemed to have the runner hung up between second and third to end the inning. But Bo's throw from second (he'd snuck in behind the runner) to Chapman at third, while not a disaster, was not what it needed to be (I wonder if Bo himself has had any self-recriminations about it at all?). Either way, obviously, there was nothing doing here for the Blue Jays bats, so a tough one, like I say. One looks at this Padres lineup and wonders why they're not like ten games or so better than they have been so far? We have dropped the series to them now, though, so we're doing our part.
