I’d been looking forward to watching the Blue Jays play their first games of the World Series against the Dodgers all week and It didn’t disappoint. The Jays took Game One at home, 11–4. Addison Barger hit a grand slam that basically blew the doors off the game.
This season, I made a conscious effort to follow the Jays more closely. I started tuning into more games and made watching the highlights part of my morning routine.
Over time, I started to recognize the players and began putting faces to names. I became interested in learning when and how they joined the team, how long they’ve been playing, their ages, and where they’re from.
The season didn’t start off smoothly, but they turned things around in a big way! Seeing them come out and dominate in Game 1 felt like a big win not just for the team but also the fans.
Game 2 was something to look forward to, especially after an unexpected day at work. Having that feeling of anticipation run with you the entire day is always fun.
The Jays had all the momentum going in. They gave up an early run in the first but tied it up not long after with a sac fly. For a while , it felt like they were right there again. But then the Dodgers started to pull ahead; a couple of late solo shots took the wind out of it, and the Jays just couldn’t recover.
It’s never fun watching your team lose, especially after such a high the night before. The bats went quiet, and credit where it’s due, the Dodgers’ pitcher was dealing. I mean, he retired twenty straight to close it out.
That’s baseball. The highs don’t feel as good without the lows. Now the series is tied 1–1, and it’s anyone’s game heading into L.A. I can’t wait to see how the Jays respond in Game 3.
