| Bo, seen here flowing |
It's hard not to wonder if this Yankee-stadium trouncing—one that offered homers from George Springer (a leadoff dinger! on his birthday!), Alejandro Kirk (first one since July! [yikes]), and Bo (who started a nice double play too), all while Yusei Kikuchi dealt at levels at or near Maximum Kooch—might end up the emotional high point of the season? Like if things don't super work out the rest of the way? Because brother, this one was merry. The only trouble, really, if you could call it that, is that Kukuchi had to leave the game after five innings because of low-key trap-cramping, but he later suggested that the reason he cramped up is that he'd only slept eleven hours the night before, rather than his customary thirteen or fourteen (when he is awake more than that, he explained, he thinks about baseball too much). So even that, in the end, was pretty good? I will note here too that my scoreboard watching has escalated to the point where I am watching actual non-Blue Jays baseball games (or parts thereof), and I would characterize watching baseball in which one is not immediately, directly emotionally overinvested as quite pleasant to do! It's easy to forget that!
