| if it's fair it's gone (and it's fair) |
Some uncharacteristically iffy work out of the pen from Trevor Richards aside, the Blue Jays largely cruised in this one, with a fine Chris Bassitt start and a mighty wallop from Bo Bichette, who I am inclined to say has the most interesting right-handed swing in Blue Jays history, maybe? It's his whirling follow-through, as much as anything, I suppose, but it is just enormously compelling, and deeply æsthetic. Not that he's at all little (listed at six feet even [I do find that a little questionable] and one-ninety [looks about right to me]), but the coiling and uncoiling of his swing makes you wonder if there is any way you could even theoretically get any more out of a body that size swinging a bat, and then simply conclude "I would guess no." I am not at A Swing Guy—in the sense of someone who understands any more than the absolute fundamentals—in the least, but I am for sure A Swing Enjoyer, and I enjoy Bo's as much as any swing we have ever had around (and we had John Olerud, obviously).
