Hey Tom,
This has been some long year, hasn't it? At least you guys started playing better in September and pulled yourselves out of last place. We're still in the basement, and we've got the worst record in the American League. Our owner is making money because our payroll is low, so I guess he's not losing as much sleep as we players are.
I've taken the ball every time they've given it to me and I've done the best I could. I'll end up seventh in the American League in innings pitched, and I'll lead the team in wins.
The Blue Jays haven't said much to me about a contract for next year. At this point, I'm open to the possibility of going just about anywhere. Megan and I have talked, and we'll try to keep the relationship alive no matter where I'm playing next year. At least I'm less concerned about that part of my life than I was a year ago.
I know you're not used to having the season end the first week of October. Think about it this way: now you have more time to spend at home with Trish and Patrick. I know you will all enjoy that.
The lease on my apartment in Toronto doesn't run out until February 1, so for now I'll be staying up here. Let me know when you'll be back home, and we'll all get together. We'll let the ladies do some shopping, and you and I can resume our battle for video game supremacy.
Later,
Ty
Ty Williams' 2021 season was mediocre, pitching for a team that was less than mediocre. He went 11-15 for a Blue Jays team that finished 68-94. Ty's 5.50 ERA was less impressive, as was his 1.52 WHIP. In 224 innings, he allowed 247 hits and 94 walks.
On the brighter side, he did strike out 177 men, so he demonstrated the ability to miss some bats.
Ty's ratings look like this: Stuff 16/16; Movement 12/13; Control 11/11.
