Yusei Kikuchi's first bad start in what seems like forever was genuinely hurtful (to Yusei, visibly, and to me, too), but aside from that, what a weekend! Friday night's fourteenth-inning (double "Okay Blue Jays"!) Davis Schneider walk-off home run was for sure the highest of lights, but Sunday's win was a real honey, too, with a marvelous catch in centre field from Daulton Varsho, whose acclaim as baseball's best outfielder is rightly growing. The "Night Mode" City Connect jerseys, which débuted Friday, are really pretty great, as far as City Connect jerseys go: the Padres are in a class of their own (like, amongst all garments), but after that, I really think the Blue Jays ones are as good as any, and quite a bit better than most? And how many others put you in mind of the "City Night" stage of Yu Suzuki's Hang-On, particular in the Sega Master System port? Precious few! The weekend's other big development, and this really is a wonderful, marvelous thing, is that Vladdy got a start at third base, his first since 2019. When he fielded the ball, and made a play, everybody was so happy (Vladdy himself tried to play it cool, but we knew; we knew). In order to get Turner (who is not really hitting) and Vogelbach (who is) in the lineup more often, it makes all the sense in the world to get Vladdy some starts at third, so there is a rational reason to do it, but to me this really has to be considered a matter of the heart.
