2024 Game Twenty-Seven: Dodgers 12, Blue Jays 2

 

well that didn't take long

Hey have you noticed how the top of the Dodgers order this year—Mookie Betts, Shohei Ohtani, and Freddie Freeman—consists entirely and exclusively of sure-thing future Hall of Famers? And that all of them are going to be around for kind of a while yet? This is pretty bad news for the National League—the West, especially!—and generally not all that big a deal to AL teams, but it looks like it could be a major problem for the Blue Jays this weekend, if Friday night's endless drubbing is any indication. Chris Bassitt, who would be the first to tell you he has had a lousy month, gave up seven runs on nine hits and three walks and didn't even get out of the third. If we were going to lose this one anyone—and we sure were!—I don't at all mind that an Ohtani home run was part of it, because I just think those are neat.
