2023 Game One-Hundred-Forty-Two: Blue Jays 5, Royals 1

 

a cunning slide from the big man

Kevin Gausman can give up just two hits and a walk in eight terrific innings, and George Springer can have his first two-homer game of the whole season (so far! let's go!), but Vladdy will still be the star of the show, especially if he elects to utterly book it around the bases and score all the way from first on a Cavan Biggio double, which he totally did on this rad day. Even in a year where he has never really quite looked how you would hope Vladdy to look, exactly (home run derby aside, obviously), this is still very much his team, and it might come as a surprise to you (it did to me!) to be reminded that even with all of the recent call-ups from Buffalo, Vladdy is still the youngest player on the roster. This, to me, remains just wild.
