| they call him "Kirky," though the origins of that sobriquet remain obscure |
Taking two-out-of-three at home against the Red Sox is a fairly normal outcome, but this pair of come-from-behind wins felt pretty special, in particular to the extent that they had homers in them. Blue Jays ones, even! It is a deeply weird to me that the Blue Jays are hitting so few homers, because I do not think it is unreasonable to look at their roster and think that there would be some homers in there? And not even tucked away too deeply? But just sort of self-evidently there? And yet no, that would not seem to be the case, at least not so far. I saw the other day that in terms of the straight-up differential of home runs allowed vs. home runs enbombened, the Blue Jays were a league-worst negative twenty-two (I am sure the exact figure is somewhat different these several days later). There are lots of ways to win baseball games, surely, but the dinging of dingers has proven an extraordinarily effective way of doing so over these many years, and I would invite wholeheartedly the Blue Jays to explore this possibility further as soon as they are able. Thanks guys.
