Some factoids from MLB.com's preview

 

• This will be the rubber match of the three-game series in Arlington. The Rangers evened the series Saturday night with a 6-5 walk-off win in 10 innings. The Blue Jays won three of four games in Toronto earlier this month.

 

• Rangers outfielder Ryan Rua started the last four games, only the third time since the beginning of the 2015 season that he has started four games in a row. He has started at four different positions -- left field, first base, right field and designated hitter -- more than any other Rangers player this season.

 

• Blue Jays center fielder Kevin Pillar was scratched from Saturday night's game against the Rangers because of chest soreness. It was not immediately clear whether he would be available for the series finale, but if he were unable to go, Ezequiel Carrera would likely get the start again.

 

• Jose Bautista appeared in Game No. 1,000 for the Blue Jays on Saturday night. He was the 11th player in franchise history to reach that mark. Bautista entered Saturday ranked first in the American League and third in the Major Leagues with 30 walks.

 

---

 

FWIW, this is the last meeting of the season between the Jays and Rangers. The Jays have already taken the season series but let's hope they can make it 5-2 instead of 4-3.

 

The Jays are 3-2 on this roadtrip that started in San Francisco.

 

Next series will be at home vs. the Tampa Bay Rays.

MY FIRST GDT. Regardless of the game's outcome I want to see no fewer than two bannings and at least three warnings.

Since Tulo has moved to the 6th spot he seems to have been doing so much better. I know it's only like what 7 or 8 games but maybe, hopefully, it'll continue?

 

lol Russell Martin has a 10 wRC+

 

10!

 

He has 16 hits for the entire season, 15 of them singles.

Not sure if it's an actual change but he seems to be swinging earlier in counts and more frequently. Small sample, but I've noticed I haven't been annoyed at watching him let goodies go by. I did miss yesterday's game until the 9th, though, so. Could still all be circumstantial.

In fairness, that walk-off hit last week would have been an easy double if it hadn't ended the game. That's a thing, right?

Holy f***, Zaun is an absolute moron. Knocking Smoak's OBP because "he can't run".

Zaun has said that exact thing before. That OBP doesn't matter if you're not fast.

That walk off hit would in most cases be caught. The outfield was playing shallow with a man on third with only one out, so no it would not have been a double, most likely another out.

Martin needs to start hitting because you can't even say his defense is off the charts, dude lost the game for the Jays last night with a passed ball that half this board could have caught/blocked.

 

It was one passed ball, after a horrible misplay from Carrera and Saunders to get Rua all the way to third base, if Pillar was playing that was an out.

Weird, I am on Bloor in the West end and I don't see anything weird weather yet

 

Yeah it's been hailing pretty badly here in Milton, but my boys in Scarborough don't see none either. Could be only west GTA

Yup, keep trying to pull those soft pitches away and you'll be playing pepper with the left side of the infield all year.
