Yeah, kind of a disappointing outcome when you consider some of the things that happened in this game.

And when Joe Ryan, we knew he was going to be starting, we knew it was going to be a difficult task because Joe Ryan is the best starting pitcher the Minnesota Twins have.

But of course, he lasted all of one third of an inning and left the game with a right elbow issue, which is never what you want to hear when it's a...

a starting pitcher or any pitcher for that matter.

But when Joe Ryan exits the game after just a third of an inning, that kind of raises your eyebrow a little bit.

It's like, hey, this is the one we got to kind of take advantage and let's go win the series.

And Andrew Morris came in and he's a young guy and he's trying to prove himself in the big leagues and he was excellent in this game.

But it's one of those situations where...

you have to sort of look at it and say like, are we just going to tip our caps to the pitchers that rolled out here and, and congratulate them?

Or are we going to kind of look inward here and say like, that's one that maybe got away from us, especially when you Savage didn't have his best stuff either, but he was able to battle through four innings only allowed one earned run.

Didn't go so well for Brayden Fisher, but this felt like one that the blue Jays could have had given what happened to Joe Ryan.

And unfortunately they were unable to get it done.

Yeah, it's one of those things where had Joe Ryan gone out there and done what he does best and limited the Blue Jays and the Blue Jays lose and they split the series, you're kind of like, well, that's the way it goes when you have a really good pitcher on the mound.

But when you're kind of handed this wild card

And you are unable to take advantage of that.

I think that's where some of the disappointment creeps in, but you're a hundred percent right.

When you're on a road trip that Chris was talking about, it feels like it's getting pretty lengthy, a little long in the tooth here.

Maybe they're getting a little bit weary and you end up with a split on the road in a four game series.

It's not, it's not the end of the world.

Like you said, it just feels a little bit more like a missed opportunity than how they lost and everything went the twins way today.
