Saturday Bantering: Blue Jays Notes

Today’s game is a 2:00 starts. It made it nice for me, I could enjoy the Newcastle United win without leaving it at the end. I haven’t had enough Newcastle wins this year.

Andrés Giménez isn’t in the lineup again today. After yesterday’s error, I was wondering if he was 100%. He didn’t look right. Maybe it is just a day off, but he had a couple of days off last Sunday and Monday.

Then it is a lefty on the mound for the Twins today.

There was also this:.

We have two guys on that list. We do seem to have a lot of guys who swing at everything. It does take all types, but I’ve always thought it was better to ‘work the count’, but there are guys who are valuable without doing that. I believe that they tend not to age well, but that’s a problem for later.

Today’s lineup:

Dylan Cease vs someone whose name seems to be random letters pulled from a scrabble box. Every time I play I seem to pull a bunch of Ps.

After 32 games the Jays are 15-17, last year we were one game better at 16-16. But then, falling back early isn’t a great plan for any team. It is much better to lead from start to finish.

But then, we’ve had more than our share of injuries. Hopefully that won’t be something that continues all season.
