Much better hitting line up today.. I hope..

[Jimcanuck]

where are the jays in the overall standings?

I know, that was my first thought too. You put in Vlad to replace Gurriel and slide Durry to 2nd base and the lineup actually looks half decent.

[saskjayfan]

where are the jays in the overall standings?

 

They are currently one spot better than the red sox. A game up on the sweaty sox.

[P2F]

Lol at Galvis leading off. He and his career .291 OBP.

 

Good Christ, Charlie.

Did he do anything in spring training at all? You cant keep running out different line ups every day you need some consistency

why?

[Krylian]

where are the jays in the overall standings?

 

They would be picking 7th overall in the 2020 draft (barring comp picks, etc).

[Stoneyen]

Good Christ, Charlie.

 

I mean I guess its not great, but Galvis has had, by far, the best ABs so far this year. I'll take it over putting f***ing Brito in the 1 or 2 spot.

[John_Havok]

Lol at Galvis leading off. He and his career .291 OBP.

 

Good Christ, Charlie.

 

TO be fair, he is having the best PAs in the lineup right now by far.

 

I think the slappy contact hitter is going to become en vogue again here shortly with the high fastball/curveball meta of pitching these days. Everything is a cycle and we'll probably start to to back to watching boring slap singles for a few years again.

 

Not looking forward to it.

[el duque]

Galvis the only Jay seeing the ball so far

[Orgfiller]

Considering Bauer's command issues and cold weather on Thursday, this could be a much worse game for the Blue Jays' hitters.

[DigitalRock]

Gonna be a long game

[Jonn]

Jesus Smoak you could have easily had 3.

[el duque]

Grichuk our clean up hitter, I would have not predicted that last year

[Abomination]

Jesus Smoak you could have easily had 3.

 

Of all the things to complain about, Smoak not getting himself thrown out at 3rd base with two outs isn't one of them.

[Orgfiller]

That was not an easy play for Galvis but he made it look like one, great job.

[el duque]

Nice curve

[Corporal Valdal]

Cant believe we got Pannone for Joe freaking Smith

[el duque]

Gurriel should have a haircut to help with the hitting

[Corporal Valdal]

Drury looks like he has no game plan when he comes up to the plate right now

[bones10]

Carrasco at 35 pitches, must have been some decent at bats so far

[Orgfiller]

It's not 95 but Pannone is throwing a lot harder this season than what we saw last year. Consistently hitting 90-91 and occasionally ramping it up to 92.

 

He's looked very stable early on.

[el duque]

and a terrific curve ball

[Barkerfan23]

Cant believe we got Pannone for Joe freaking Smith

Well the Indians needed a reliever

 

And Shapiro did what he could to help.

[KevinGregg]

and a terrific curve ball

 

The change looks nice as well.

I know its early. But, both he and Thornton have looked like starters. It'll be interesting to see what happens once Clay and Borucki are ready.
