2024 Games Fifty-Three through Fifty-Five: Blue Jays 5, White Sox 1; Blue Jays 7, White Sox 2; Blue Jays 3, White Sox 1

 

the unsung Trevor Richards

Guys, guys, guys: we are probably so back. Timely hitting! Palpable dingers! Further excellent pitching! All of these things together for three consecutive games! The only real hiccup, I guess you would have to concede, is that Alek Manoah, who seemed totally back on track, left in the second inning of his start with what appears to be a fairly significant arm injury. Medium-to-long-term, that is a pretty big problem for us, but in the shortest of short terms, it gave Trevor Richards a chance to shine (what a handy fellow, that Trevor Richards, especially if you enjoy changeups). I will concede that all of this good baseball was played against the league-worst Chicago White Sox, who have only recently pulled up slightly from an historically bad start to the season, and so it may be reasonable to remain cautious about our fortunes, but at the same time, the Blue Jays won three games this series, and it is irrefutable that this is literally the maximum "of games" that anyone could have won under these circumstances (of playing three of them). Let's go.
