Wow what a game that was to watch. I saw the first five innings with friends and then returned home to watch the single greatest sixth inning 8 can remember. Nine runs in during that whale of a sixth. Plus a Barger Grand Slam, a few singles, a walk brought in during loaded bases. It had everything, including Addison Barger’s first ever recorded pinch hitter world series grand slam in baseball history.
With any luck they will continue to perform admirably throughout the entire series. Win or lose that was a hell of a return to world series baseball. No clean sweep for us! Dodgers might be the best on paper, but the Toronto Blue Jays have heart, passion, and know how to dig deep to eek out a win. I do not know how this tale ends, but if they can stay in the fight without deflating, then we are all in for a wild ride. Go Jays!
A solid mix of small ball base grinding, followed up with long bombs, and a bullpen that kept us in the game by limiting runs by the Dodgers. Trey Yesavage did a commendable job even if he was unable to bring his 100% to the mound. He is young, full of fire, and I think he’ll do wonders for the organization over the next couple of years. Worth keeping an eye on I think.
Geménez, Springer, Kirk, and Bobichette,Varsho, Straw, and a whole mess of others played like a well oiled machine. Team work made that dream of a game work. No slackers present. I do love to see them gel like this, feed off of one another, and bring something special to the table. I like how egalitarian the team feels right now. Oh what a feelin’.
I enjoyed two Twisted Teas with the game for a change instead of my usual zero sugar Gatorade. Still had a great deal of fun. Extra bathroom breaks required though, once the seal was broken. Ha.
Have a terrific Saturday, as the lads will be back at it again tonight. Same Bat time, same Bat channel. Ciao Bella!
