Why did Chris Bassett struggle so badly in the 15‑1 loss to the Red Sox?
Well Jules, I'll tell you that's about three hours of our lives that we're never gonna get back. Collectively? Yeah. I don't have a lot written down here. I I will say. I mean I like to take a lot of notes during these games, but um I don't think I wrote a lot down after what was a fifteen to one loss in Boston. That's what we got today. Bassett was not particularly good. The offense was similarly M I A. I don't know if you remember this, but um a few years ago you and I did Jay's talk during the Red Sox series. It was right after the All Star break, and the Jays won twenty five twenty eight to five, if I remember correctly. In Boston, Rymel Tapia had the inside par inside the park Grand Slam. This was essentially the opposite of that game.
Sports Net stats actually just tweeted this out. Uh, the Blue Jays largest margin of defeat at Fenway Park in franchise history. That sounds about right.
Woof. It's tough. It's uh I listen, I'm with you. Um I started taking notes, you know, it says June twenty eighth at Red Sox and then nothing. After that, I didn't even bother to write Chris Bassett's name down. Uh because it was just Over before it even started or over maybe two batters into this game, which was pretty strange, right? Show you kinda look at the way that Chris Bassett pitched to get the first two outs of this game. He was looking great. And then Abraham Toro comes in, works a ten pitch a bat and Ends up with a single and that is it. I don't know. Something flipped right there and uh it was really all downhill from there. Chris Bassett could never really back uh get back on track and uh that's just how this game went on here.

I admit um so Heinemann was the position player we saw at the end of this game. I was kind of hoping for Barger as a position player just to see him s throw some heats, but we we couldn't even get that, unfortunately. But you're right. It's it's hard not to start today with Bassett. Two plus innings, eight hits, nine runs, eight of them were earned, four walks, three strikeouts.
He threw seventy pitches, 44 of which were strikes. I mean, like you said, he made quick work. of the game's first two batters. And I thought, all right, it's going to be a relatively efficient inning. He kind of got hosed on the on on the batter not going around. And then on the very next pitch he got him. And I thought, all right, you know what, a good bounce back. It only cost him one pitch. And then a a very uh, I think entertaining 10-pitch battle against Quebec's Abraham Toro. But may maybe that tired him out a little bit because the next two straight pitches were hits. A single from Carlos Nervaz, and then the next pitch was a three run bomb from Williar Abreu. Uh I was I I did not think it would have been a home run in this many ballparks, but a home run in eighteen of thirty ballparks is uh that home run just just uh wrapping on to the inside of the pesky pole in Fenway Park.
But that inning really unraveled. I mean
How did the early innings unfold and what caused Bassett’s early exit?
While it could have been done after 15, 16 pitches, instead five straight batters reach against Bassett at the bottom of the first inning. It did not get very much a lot better in the second inning or the third inning. The Red Sox, a team that has averaged 2.8 runs a game in their six-game losing streak scored nine runs in the first three innings, three runs in each of the first three innings. I mean, stuff-wise, Bassett like the sinker looked like it was. The VLO just was a smidge down, although generally speaking that doesn't matter as much for Bassett. Uh but he he just did not have it today in in any aspect really.
Yeah, and maybe it was. Maybe it was just one really long inning, one really, really long at bat that will tire a pitch a pitcher out and maybe he just couldn't come go back to
