| okay see now "hey Kirky rip a double of the wall please" is an appropriate thing to ask Alejandro Kirk to do |
A welcome laugher! Nary a homer, either, as the Blue Jays put up their seven runs, which meant just a tonne of neat hits and the great fun of dashing around the bases: a two-run Alejandro Kirk double following a Davis Schneider/Vladimir Guerrero double-steal is just about as good as it gets! Chris Bassitt only struck out three, but allowed just three hits and a walk over his eight full innings, which obviously you will take every time. And so while it is not ideal to enter September outside of any (and indeed each) of the three wild-card spots, we do head to Colorado to play the lowly Rockies just two-and-a-half games behind the still-struggling Texas Rangers, who have a weekend series against the totally-decent Minnesota Twins. The Astros, who it would also be neat to catch, are a further game ahead, and play the completely finished Yankees, so probably no help there? Regardless, we've got the Rockies, the poor A's, and the Royals over the next nine, which makes this not just "go time", but, like, Mandelbaum-level "go time."
