As the Blue Jays prepare to come home, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and the rest of the offence are giving fans lots to be excited about. (bnicholsonsmith)
before first pitch, the bullpen got some welcome support, too. Of course on a night the offence was operating at full strength, there was plenty of breathing room.
The season Guerrero Jr. is having would be remarkable at any age, but what he’s doing -- 30 homers with a .335/.434/.677 slash line -- should really be appreciated within the context of his age. Though he’s been around for three years now, he’s still just 22 -- so young that when he homered in the All-Star Game Tuesday, he became the youngest player to do so since Johnny Bench more than half a century ago. At 22, he’s still younger than four players the Blue Jays drafted last week.
Yet here he is, making a legitimate run at the American League triple crown. That might be what it takes to make a serious MVP run during a year Shohei Ohtani is doing a convincing impression of Babe Ruth in his prime, but so far Guerrero Jr. has been up to the task. Nights like this, the talent is impossible to miss.
