Brandon Morrow…we hardly knew ye.
I really want to say something poetic about the organization’s ex-closer, but my best memory of Morrow occurred on August 8, 2010 when he was a member of the Blue Jays. Back then, the right-hander was a 26-year-old starter oozing with upside and he one-hit the Rays with 17 strikeouts in an effort that nearly rivaled the 20K masterpiece by Kerry Wood against the Astros in 1998.
Though not nearly as electric as Kid K, the Jays starter looked to be on his way to pitching a no-hitter before giving up a single with two outs in the 9th.
