| the æstheticL: is houndwave |
Chris Bassit struck out Aaron Judge in the eighth to end a terrific start and, no less radly, hit precisely two-hundred innings on the season. He seemed pretty emotional about it afterwards, and why not? It's a really big deal! The amount of innings the Blue Jays have gotten out of their starters this year has been remarkable, with four starters making thirty starts, and I think only seven starters pitching at all this year? The Blue Jays seem likely to finish with the second-best ERA in all of baseball, despite Opening-Day-starter Alek Manoah experiencing, let us say, several difficulties. Home runs from Varsho, Belt, and Matt Chapman (his first since August 4th) were more than enough! I stayed up late after this one to catch the end of the Mariners/Rangers games, and even the Blue Jays really could have used a Seattle loss, it was hard not to enjoy an Aroldis Chapman meltdown (as he is a really bad guy, though this is rarely discussed anymore) and a J.P. Crawford walkoff (as he is a wonderful baseball player just to, like, behold).
Two wins and we're in! Or if any number of other scenarios play out as well! But even so!
