Notes:

 

Jays:

• Dickey started the season with a pair of quality starts, but he gave up four runs on four hits and four walks in his third start. He then unraveled against the Rays in his most recent outing, giving up eight runs (seven earned) in 4 2/3 innings. Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts has hit Dickey well, having gone 6-for-11 with two doubles against the righty last year.
  

 

Red Sox:

• Porcello went six innings and allowed four runs on six hits to the Orioles in his last start. The right-hander typically struggles against the Blue Jays, and he owns a 4.70 ERA in eight career outings (seven starts) against the club.

LETS GO BLUE JAYS!! #WETHENORTH #COMETOGETHER #LOVethISTEam

[HERPDERP]

That line-up ;/

[burlingtonbandit]

The lineup after the top 4 is pretty trash. Hopefully can get a good start out of Dickey. Jays pitching so far this year has been just awful.

[Atothe]

Get better Reyes, dickey's sidekick is embarrassing

[Daniel Labude]

Go Blue Jays....need the series win today!

[HERPDERP]

Can't believe Pillar hitting 5th.

 

If you had to guess which one of these would happen before the start of ST, which one would it be?

 

1.) Pillar hitting 5th

 

2.) Castro being annointed the closer

 

3.) Devon Travis leading in all offensive categories for 2B, and leading the team in HR

Obviously travis

I would have told you that would mean Edwin, Bautista and Donaldson were all down with injury.

 

No way a guy the size of Altuve has that much pop.

[baubau]

Sucks Smoak can't find a place in the lineup. With the non-existing wall in RF he could have probably hit a few HRs there.

Also, I am now concerned that Pompey may be the 4th OF with all of Gibby's decisions that have been going on. Yikes..

[HERPDERP]

Now that Pillar is hitting 5th, he's going to now consider himself a power hitter and end up with some terrible swings, like this

[guylaroche5]

this lineup is aids, hopefully dickey is sharp because we're not outslugging them today

[Angrioter]

Pillar is the new Delmon Young

[Atothe]

Pillar is the new Delmon Young

 

Young plays above average defense? Are you having a stroke?

[Inklink]

Travis and Goins will continue to mash. We'll be OK.

Hitting thing

Pillar fifth lol. What an ugly lineup without Reyes and Martin

Gross and way to feed his ego... let the hack show begin.

[CJ-Freeway]

Need at least 7 IP, max 2 ER from Dickey to stay alive in this one. I know, it's funny, but I can dream.

Yup we need the Four Horseman to bash the s*** out of Porcello and Dickey to keep it together, then we need our pen to close it out if it's tight. Hopefully that's not too big of a reach tonight..

Thing is Goins probably hits as much as Reyes when he was playing hurt.

Yea. At least, Yankees lost so that's good

[Dylan]

I was excited for this game but then saw that dickey is pitching

I doubt it, to be honest.

[Angrioter]
