You can't have a one-game streak of any kind.
So what he did to the plate was encouraging in the sense that the swing decisions were good and he was able to take the walks.
We'll just have to wait a little bit longer to see where he settles in offensively.
Defensively,
He has one of the very best arms in baseball.
When they talk about the five tools, you could make a case that the arm is the least important of those tools.
But when he flashes that, he is one of the very best in the world at doing that.
And as much as those plays don't come up a ton, they are extremely fun to watch.
And Blue Jays fans have been lucky with the way they've seen right fielders who feature those big arms in the past.
You know, Jose Bautista made some pretty incredible,
throws out there.
Jesse Barfield, famous for his arm.
We don't have all the stack-ass for everyone who's ever been out there, but it's one of the more fun plays in baseball, watching an outfielder with an elite arm really let it rip, and the speed, the accuracy, it was all there, and at that moment in the ballgame, it felt critical, even though it feels silly now to say that in a 14-1 ballgame, but when that happened, it was an electric moment.
That sounds right to me.
It's also very plausible to me that Billy Butner would get thrown out of first base on a ball to right field, but I believe that is correct.
It's not going to happen by just them getting healthier and them playing well and them having generally a solid record.
The gap is big enough that it's going to take something more dramatic.
Now, that could be them having an incredible month or six-week stretch like you're describing.
The more likely way that they can get back in the division race is by having dramatic results against the Yankees, like sweeping Yankees in series, putting up a really strong record against the Yankees, or Tampa Bay already in a hole there, but over the course of the rest of the season, dominating those games.
Because you've got a sizable gap right now, and those are quality teams.
