| first of the year! |
Gausman largely dealing through seven, a pair of manufactured runs, Varsho snagging one against the wall off the bat of Shohei Ohtani early and another off the bat of Max Muncy late (to get Yimi and Mayza out of an exceedingly ticklish eighth), an opposite-field solo shot from the struggling but beloved Alejandro Kirk (three-for-three! struggling no more!), a remarkable diving George Springer catch in right (his best since the diving centre-field catch in Detroit that time?) to help Romano through the ninth . . . what more do you need for a pleasant Sunday afternoon of Blue Jays baseball? The roof open, I suppose (it is so sunny outside here that I feel like it should be in Toronto, as well, a view that I understand has no basis), but let us not make the perfect the enemy of the rad.
Hey also: you may have noticed that one of the songs Sportsnet plays as it goes to breaks is, not infrequently, Sloan's "Money City Maniacs," for sure their best-known song, but actually a fairly poor one compared to their songs that are, like, good (or indeed excellent). I would like to propose that they stick with a Sloan song, but opt for a deeper cut, and while really just about anything would do, I think it should probably be "Junior Panthers" at least to start. Thank you.
