| congratulations, Davis Schneider, on posting the highest OPS in MLB history through one's first twenty games (seems good!) |
Sweeps remain hard to do! Hyun-Jin Ryu did his part, but Trevor Richards ran into trouble, and the bats didn't have a whole lot happening. So it goes: two series wins on the road against two poor teams, and the Blue Jays, aided mightily by the solid play of the Houston Astros and the continued slide of the Texas Rangers, find themselves heading home all comfers/cozers (relatively speaking) back in good old Wild Card 3 (arguably the best of the three! you get to go to Minnesota! we have discussed this!) for the first time in kind of a while. Wouldn't it be lovely to be more than a half-game ahead, though, by the time the Rangers roll into town next week? A weekend series against the Royals makes that feel possible, but, at the same time, the Rangers will be playing these same Athletics we are just now leaving, so there may not be gains to be had? Then let us forestall losses! Or endeavour to!
