Yeah, to your point on Schlittler, seven innings.

But the Blue Jays worked him for six hits and four walks.

He did strike out seven.

This is true.

When you add in the three walks from Fernando Cruz, you had six hits and seven walks today and only scored one run.

And that was a solo shot, a laser beam from Cosmo Okamoto.

It is kind of funny.

As high as the home run was yesterday, this one was probably as low as you'll get launch angle-wise.

But still, Okamoto, the only run coming off his bat early in this one.

But I want to get to, I think, what a lot of people are going to point at as the, at the very least, the highest pressure point of this game, which is asking Ernie Clement to bunt with, what, runners on first and second, nobody out, bottom of the eighth inning.

Clement, obviously one of your better hitters just overall at the plates, and, you know, he tries to lay down the bunt, and then he just pops one up directly right up in the air, and it gets recorded for an out, and then you kind of let the Yankees off the hook.

I mean...

We can get into that situation in particular, which, again, didn't really love it, truth be told.

But at the same time, it was almost emblematic of the entire game in that when I use the term let them off the hook, I feel like that's the best way to describe this game because it felt like, to your point, this is a game that was right there for the taking, and the Jays just time after time after time, especially on offense, really did let this Yankees team off the hook.

I don't think they played the best baseball you'll ever see today.

The other thing, too, is if we stick in that eighth inning and, again, didn't love, for all the reasons you just laid out, did not love the ask of Ernie to Buntz.
