2024 Game Six: Blue Jays 2, Astros 1

 

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy

A ninth-inning, two-out, pinch-hit Davis Schneider home run! Off of Josh Hader! And it went like a mile! In fact there is reason to believe it is the farthest anyone has ever hit a Josh Hader slider! It was quite a feeling! Let us not lose sight of the Justin Turner walk that made it possible, or the Yimi/Mazya/Green bullpen that picked up JosĂ© Berrios, who somehow allowed just one through six despite not having his best stuff and just battled (Berrios is such a dude; like such a dude). It is was a strange game, too, with AltuvĂ© called out on a ground ball that just straight up hit him as he ran from second to third (he never made it), and Kirk throwing out a runner dangling off third after he allowed him to take second on a foul-ball pop-out just before in that selfsame inning . . . just a really weird one. And yet a delight!
