2024 Game Twenty-Two: Padres 6, Blue Jays 3

 

good job, Fernando Tatis Jr.

It felt like a million things happened in this one, with way more traffic on the basepaths than you might expect from a regular-score kind of game. Home runs from roommates (like actual roommates!) Davis Schneider and Ernie Clement were a treat; Chris Bassitt's ultimately somewhat shaky start "less so." He really hasn't been bad so far, Chris Bassitt, but he hasn't quite been himself, either, and he's visibly disgusted with himself about in a way that feels pretty dark, and borders on uncomfortable. But hey! Despite again missing out on the series sweep, the Blue Jays are winners of six of their last eight as they head off to Kansas City to play the defensively exquisite Royals, who have been way better so far than I am all that pleased about, given that they are to be our foes (in broader terms, I have no issue with the Royals [despite 2015 [and 1985]).
