Wow, what a fabulous comeback. Cease was so good. Perhaps without the wind, or a couple of feet toward center, and Bregman might have had anotherBullpen HR earlier in the game. Peterson good again, 1ER as usual. Bullpen, 6 innings with just one run. Civale nice job. Fun to see Thornton in those extra-inning games, he is so fired up when he gets out.
Seeing the Toronto lineup, man, is that ever bad right now. It's a reminder of how many kinda easy outs there are in a lot of lineups.
What a fun win.
Tangent, but Bregman is really good at 3B. Really good at attacking ground balls, charging them or whatever, and for double-plays gets his throws off to 2b so very quickly and accurately too. In first inning, prior to the balked-in run, Springer hit a soft grounder to 3B that I thought had zero chance for DP. But Bregman charged in so fast, ball-to-glove-to-hand-to-2B was so quick and smooth, they almost doubled up Springer on a ball that had no business being anything close to a DP.
Obviously he made a good snag in extra innings as well. But his footwork and sense of balance and timing is really good.
In the 10th, I thought for sure Kelly's hit was a game-winner.
