GDT - Jays @ Angels (1/4) 22:00 EST

[Grant77]

I'm sick of losing. Here's my debut GDT for 2016.

 

Angels lineup:

 

Escobar 3B

Calhoun RF

Trout CF

Pujols DH

Cron 1B

Marte LF

Simmons SS

Bandy C

Petit 2B

 

SP- Daniel Wright: 0-0 7.20 ERA

 

Jays lineup:

 

Travis 2B

Donaldson DH

Encarnacion 1B

Bautista RF

Martin C

Tulowitzki SS

Saunders LF

Pillar CF

Barney 3B

 

SP- J.A. Happ: 18-4 3.33 ERA

 

After a tough homestand, the Blue Jays hope a trip to the West Coast will help them get back on track, as Toronto opens a four-game series with the Angels on Thursday.

 

The Blue Jays dropped two of three against the American League East-leading Red Sox and the last-place Rays. Toronto is in the thick of both the AL East and AL Wild Card races, two back of Boston in the division and holding down the second Wild Card spot.

 

"The West Coast has never been friendly to anybody," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. "That's going to be a big test for us, and Seattle has a really good ball club, too. This next road trip will say a lot in terms of what happens to us."

 

Toronto will give the ball to left-hander J.A. Happ, who shut down the Red Sox his last time out. The hard-throwing southpaw limited Boston to two runs over six innings while striking out five and walking just one.

 

Seeking his first Major League win, righty Daniel Wright makes his second start with the Angels. In his first start Saturday, Wright allowed four runs in five innings in a no-decision against the Rangers.

 

The Angels took two out of three from the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre in August. The all-time series is tied at 201-201.

Hmm....bad news incoming about JD I think. They're holding back the lineup until an announcement.

[Grant77]

The Angels in the outfield are going to be watching a lot of home runs tonight.

He's probably dead.

Big game tonight. Need to get the bats going. Last time we played here 2015 we scored like 40+ runs in 3 games bashing the f*** out of them. It was a beautiful thing.

 

Lets go Jays. Time to turn it around starting tonight.

[THANOS]

Everyone give your energy to the Jays lol. Spirit Bomb time.
