What happened in the Blue Jays win and how did Max Scherzer perform?
Take a game, take a series, take a five-game lead in the division, and take a wonderful moment away from Owen Casey in his major league debut. The Blue Jays took it all yesterday.
did not think that that would make the intro. You know, I mean,
Davis Schneider, the
local boy.
Yeah. And Owen Casey, some great media stuff post game after that one. A lot of fun. Fun seeing his dad on Blue Jay Central with Jamie Campbell. Fun to see him up in the major leagues. But yeah, until the offenses got going a little later in the game, the story was that Owen Casey roped what looked like it was going to be a double over the head of the outfielders in his first major league plate appearance against Max Scherzer, no less. And Davis Schneider lays out to get it. What a
play. Let me ask you this, though. Is it a better story when all is said and done? Like, he goes on to have a successful major league career, right? And one day he's reminiscing about his playing days in a show not very different from ours. And he says, well, I could have had my first hit off of Max Scherzer, but Davis Schneider, who I had seen a bunch in the minor leagues as well, laid out to make a catch in left field,
robbed me. You know what would be a better story than that down the line? Tell me. I doubled off of Max Scherzer in my... first career plate you think that's
a better story though I don't know yeah I got a hit off a
legend uh in what could be his last season in my first plate appearance yeah that's a better story than Davis Schneider laid out and got it which great like good for Davis Schneider it was a terrific play uh but yeah no very getting a hit off Max Scherzer's a way better story
The twist, though, you know, and to tie into the reaction that his mother had when he told her that his Major League debut would come against Max Scherzer, and she's just like, ooh, okay.
I liked, too, that Owen Casey really hammed it up. So for anyone who didn't see the post-game interview, he reenacted his mother's reaction on FaceTime to it being Max Scherzer he was against, and he had the neck muscles all going out. It was like a very over-the-top reaction. Owen Casey future career in acting after he gets like a 15 year major league career as a lefty power hitting outfielder, which yeah, looking forward to that the rest of the way for him. It's a good thing. He didn't get much going yesterday at the plate over for his debut because there was not a lot of offense to be had on either side of the ball. The Blue Jays win two to one. Julia, I know your favorite part of the game was that it was two hours and six minutes.
Oh my goodness. Normally I wouldn't, I don't care that much about the length of a game. A speedy one's fun for like, hey, Mark Burley and Roy Halladay, two of my favorite all-time pitchers, the guys who get out there and do it. But yesterday I had baseball. You had two baseball games. So I was supposed to have two baseball
games.
Okay, okay. Small gripe with the city of Toronto here. First of all, because it hasn't rained here in a decade, it feels like every ballpark in the city is like the infield is concrete.
Gotcha.
Oh, boy. But so we're supposed to have a double header last night. And right before the first game starts, we get a call from the league commissioner. Hey, the city said the lights aren't working. Game two is canceled because you can't play a night game without the lights, obviously.
Okay.
They call the other team, tell them it's canceled. So we play our first game by like the second inning, the lights come
on. Okay.
But then it's too late.
The second inning of the first
game. Yes. And then it is too late to call the other team. We're already there, but it's too late then to call the other team and tell them, oh, actually the game we just canceled, you're back on, the lights are on. So get it together.
Okay, so, man, that
is so frustrating. So I did not have a doubleheader. My knees are probably thankful for it, but yeah, no doubleheader for me. Just one game.
I love that you failed to mention that yesterday or this morning, and so you still got coffee from me, and yet, meanwhile, you wouldn't even fill up my water bottle this morning.
