Well, what should we start with?
- Alex Verdugo, the team’s early season MVP, was scratched shortly before the game with no explanation provided. Although he was in the dugout, he wasn’t called on to either pinch hit or pinch run in the late innings of the most important game of the season (most important for now, that is).
- Rafael Devers damn near hit the red seat (the actual seat, not the podcast) with a three-run bomb, but only after he misplayed a ball in the field that allowed the Blue Jays to plate their third run of the game.
