Baseball non-stop schedule becomes a burden as the Blue Jays mourn the Bujinsky family

Oakland, CA — Saturday evening, Cavan Biggio hit a single and arrived first base, finding Luis Hartad coaching instead of Mark Budzinski. Did he ask what was happening?

No one was convinced at that point, but after a few innings, Budinsky’s 17-year-old daughter Julia died in a boat accident.

“I’m going to the third at bat, but it seems like it was a meaningless turn at bat. I’ve never felt that way in my life,” recalls Visio. “This is a big league match against a great team, but baseball didn’t pass through my mind at that point. Certainly such things provide a bit of perspective and you Allows you to look back in your corner. My heart and heart immediately went to Mark and his family. “

With the Toronto Blue Jays ending their 11-5 defeat to the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday, it was nearly impossible to partition sadness and anguish. Wristless 5-1 loss.

Baseball doesn’t stop, so playing a game requires an escape from reality and can make it even harder to agree with something you don’t understand. Charlie Montoyo found out the difficult road when his son Alex was fighting for his life in the hospital and was scrambled by him from the Durham Bulls game.

Some of them attacked him when he learned of Julia’s death and handed the reins to bench coach John Schneider so he could take care of Budinsky at the clubhouse.

“That’s what I felt when I had to tell Mark to go inside to find the news the other day,” Montoyo said. “OK, the game is over. It’s more important to be with friends.”

Two days ago Sunday, Montoyo and Budinsky’s family were together for a morning mass at the dome, and “Julia was actually hanging with Alex all day,” added Montoyo’s belief. It became clear immediately.

“Some people say that, but when you see it when that happens, he’s a (faithful person),” Montoyo said. “He’s strong in writing notes to the team about how he treated it, and keeping it going, and I’ll see you soon, and it’s incredible.”

Montoyo remained down on Sunday “and you could say everyone felt it.”

The Blue Jays on Monday didn’t have much energy either, Manoa allowed the first three runs, one was Stephen Vogt’s sacrifice fly, and two more Elvis Andrus doubles past the dive Matt Chapman.

The fourth RBI of Alejandro Kirk hinted at a rally, but the fifth solo shot by Ramon Laureano and the sixth lead Voguet pushed the game out of reach.
