And so this wasn't necessarily going to be an easy game for the Blue Jays.
And it didn't start out easy.
They fall behind.
So coming back, winning the way they did, doing it so impressively in that eighth inning with a really kind of varied offensive approach and getting some, as you say, patience, some walks, some singles, some timely hits, and then getting that big swing from Okamoto.
Just really impressive for the Blue Jays to be able to do that.
Yeah, exactly.
Today's game was this kind of stark contrast to what we saw yesterday.
And Wrigley Field is tough to play in in the outfield.
And the wind was swirling.
You could see it on the broadcast.
You could see the flags blowing everywhere.
And I think, you know, obviously Chicago, the Windy City.
So we know that the wind gets going there a lot.
And I think that, yeah, the Blue Jays are...
are known as a defensive elite team, and that hasn't been the case this year.
And, you know, we talked a little bit about it in the pregame show.
Dalton Farshall may be taking kind of a step back in his defense a little bit.
But I think today was a real example of how defense can β
if not purely win you games, but certainly keep you in games.
And I think that that's what the Blue Jays defense did today for them.
