Before the game even started, Jays’s hitting coach, Guillermo Martίνnez, was thrown during the exchange of the eleven. He seemed to have said something to yesterday’s plate referee Doug Edings. Like something that suggests the Eddings have a white cane. Alejandro Kirk was amazing. In the first inning, it leads to a run with only one. In the third inning, there was no one at the base to drive in, so he was left homers. Also amazing, Matt Chapman. In the first inning, Ross Stripling left a single, after a ground ball in the third base line that Chapman grabbed and threw to the second, just in time for the out, and Santiago Espinal made the perfect pivot to turn it into a double. game. . Just a super game. Stripling is then shut down. Next entry, single, ball on the ground in Chapman for a much more common double, hit. In the third inning they missed the single-off, but Chapman made another very nice game for the third out. Chapman made another great play in the fourth inning, diving into a ground ball and then throwing it to the second of his knees. It may have been a double game, but Espinal had a bit of a transfer problem. Stripling made 6 appearances, allowed 5 hits, 1 walk with 5 hits and 1 won. The winning run came because Lourdes tried to dive and succeeded. With the ball taking him, allowing the runner from the first to score. I would be upset with him if the game was not so one-sided. But he had to know that he did not have a chance. We would have had a streak without Kirk in the third inning, when Lourdes Guriel singled out Chapman (who doubled strongly in the left-back line. Later in the inning, Bo Bisset won the second grand slam of the season, putting us 7-0. Theoscar Hernandez scored two shots in a row in the seventh, to make it 9-1. The White Sox forced two players to leave the game with injuries. SS Danny Mendick left after a collision chasing a pop-up window in the left field bar. And right-back striker Adam Engel left with a hamstring. David Phelps left a streak in the seventh. The inning started with a fly ball on the wall in the center that Bradley Zimmer reached, but lost the catch. It was not easy, but Zimmer is in the game to make those catches. The next bat put a single in front of Lourdes. He did not dive, this time, but flew home for no apparent reason. He was not going to take the runner from third place. Cimbet had problems, but we had a big lead, so we can forgive. I will add THE JOD later.
