What a night; what a player; what incredible scenes. It was an unforgettable performance by Vladimir Guerrero Jr., providing riveting theatre from start to finish. (ArdenZwelling)
on Wednesday, a gripping, back-and-forth contest you might have heard Guerrero had some impact on. Another in a long list of momentous games in a burgeoning career that’s only just getting started.
Through it all, as Blue Jays trainers Jose Ministral and Voon Chong worked furiously to stop the blood flow and bandage the area, Guerrero kept repeating the same thing over and over. I’m not coming out of this game, Charlie. I’m not coming out of this game. Crack. A second shot off Cole aired on that clubhouse TV, this one an absurd, innate piece of hitting in which Guerrero pulled his hands in to get a 98-mph fastball running a good six inches off the plate beneath his belt, putting a dent in the back wall of the left field bullpen.Guerrero will tell you his plan against Cole was to get a good pitch to hit. The first one was. But that second one wasn’t. Not even in the slightest.
“Anybody that knows baseball and saw what he did tonight knows that’s just impressive. It was an inside fastball at 98 from one of the best pitchers in baseball,” Montoyo said. “And he got to it. Like, that’s not easy to do. I would’ve killed somebody if I hit it that way. If I even got to it.” Some facts. Loaisiga’s thrown 363 sinkers on the inner-half of the plate or beyond to right-handed hitters in his five-season career. Only one of them — to Trea Turner in 2020 — had ever been hit out of the park before Wednesday night. Only four others had even been hit for extra-bases. These things Guerrero does, they aren’t normal.
