I have read that no team—aside from your 2024 Toronto Blue Jays!—has been on the wrong end of both a no-hitter (Monday) and a one-hitter (Wednesday) in the first seven games of any season ever; and yes, that sure does like an unusually bad thing to happen. And yet! I think if I was Astros fan, trying to reconcile the fact that Houston outscored the Blue Jays nineteen to two (and outhit them thirty-five to nine!) but somehow only took two of the three games in the series to stand now at just two-and-five through the first seven, despite consistently excellent starting pitching, I think that would be worse? For them? The Blue Jays, for all of this early-season weirdness, are now three-and-four as they approach the back-end of this perfectly brutal ten-game, season-opening road trip (Tampa, Houston, and finally New York), which actually seems pretty good? A series sweep in Yankee Stadium (it could happen! it could happen!) would make the whole trip a success; a series win would be really very good; and even dropping two of three wouldn't be so bad. So long as we are not swept, we will have surpassed the three-and-seven road-trip that I had emotionally prepared myself for since the (pocket) schedule(s) first came out. Let's go! Somewhat!
