| pretty nice light! |
Obviously this one got way out of hand in the eight-run fifth (that's one of the absolute worst kind of fifths they've got), but up until that, I absolutely loved the feel of this game: huge crowd (44 688), roof open (so the huge crowd felt like a merry band rather than a looming threat), lovely evening, and just a constant buzz from even before the first pitch was thrown. When Alejandro Kirk tagged up at second and scurried to third on a Matt Chapman fly ball to Aaron Judge in centre, the crowd was, like, electric about it, even though that is objectively not a huge play. It can't always be like that, and even if it was, it wouldn't feel special after a while, but it was a pretty exciting reminder of one of the ways baseball in Toronto can feel; I'm not even saying it is the best way, merely that it is one of the ways, and I way that I totally welcomed. And then we got creamed.
