2024 Game Twenty: Blue Jays 5, Padres 1

you wait until it stops rolling, and then you go pick it up

 A great deal to admire here: a big, lively crowd in one of the loveliest ballparks in either league, the uncommonly beautiful Padres "city connect" jerseys, and as if that wasn't enough (æsthetically, I mean), a knuckleballer on the mound! Matt Waldron! He wasn't great Friday night, either, which ruled (for us): a Justin Turner home run in the first, and two runs each off the bats of Kiermaier and Vladdy in the second, and that was more than enough, with Yariel Rodriguez looking good once more, and—credit where it's due!—some good work by Bowden Francis. That Yimi was once again nails probably goes without saying, but here I am saying it all the same. A fun one!
