Feeling lazy so I decided to skip going to today's game and just put my tickets up for sale, lol.

 

In other words, I get to be at home and make the GDT extra sexy today.

Tapia should not hit ahead of Espinal and Jansen.

[Krylian]

Charlie loves Tapia

[Deadpool]

Tapia should not hit ahead of Espinal and Jansen.

 

Yeah, that's just absurd.

[peterkim]

hope Ryu picks up first win as blue jays starter and hope he pitches 7 solid innings

[BigCecil]

We all knew this kind of thing was going to happen with Charlie. My head will explode when Tapia and/or Zimmer PH for Kirk. Cause...LHH. Watching Tapia he just screams meh.

[Krylian]

Ryu pitching 7 innings is a tough ask when he's in mid season form. If he gives us 5 solid innings I consider that a win

[Jonn]

Tapia has already got 2 starts this season. And is somehow hitting 7th.

 

We just activated Zimmer why not just put him CF and hit him 9th when Springer DH’s that’s why he’s here.

f***ing ridiculous. Tapia batting ninth makes so much more sense.

I'll give Chuckles a pass this time since Zimmer just got here and it may feel a bit rushed to start him today.

[TwistedLogic]

I just added the preview article to the OP and lol, Woodward's wording on Gray at the end there makes it seem like he's pretty annoyed at him.

[Signal]

In a universe that makes sense, Espy should be batting right behind Gurriel. By all accounts, he has proven that he is seeing the ball well right now, and well the others down in the lineup, including Chapman have not. Espy has had two clutch doubles with I believe two outs, why not bat him in a place where he has more of a chance to contribute. Batting him behind Chapman AND Tapia is just silly.

[L54]

Gotta split the righties up with Tapia’s .375 SLG%

[Spanky99]

Tapia should not hit ahead of Espinal and Jansen.

 

Tapia shouldn't be in the line-up, I'd rather Zimmer manning CF. Ah well... GO JAYS GO!

They both suck, does it matter?

 

Bring Randall back

D-Fence! Agreed on Randal.

Yeah, he wasn't happy about not knowing about it, obviously.

[BuckHenry]

I agree , Randal would have given us more than these 2 guys .

[BlueRocky]

Gotta keep Tapia fresh in case there’s another bunt opportunity

[el duque]

Ryu show, his numbers have been going down but miracles happen and may be he is back to his 2019 form

[BigCecil]

Would be such a boost if Ryu can rebound. Such a contrast in stuff mixed into the big 3 RHP in rotation.

[BTS]

Spencer Howard blows. This game will be easy to win.

[G-Snarls]

Please have a decent game Ryu

[BlueRocky]

Matt Chapman is a Toronto Blue Jay.

[Terminator]

Attaboy Seager

[BigCecil]

Matt Chapman is a Toronto Blue Jay.

 

So good. nice play on Simean. Does Biggio make that play? nope. Goes from a 7 pitch AB 1 on nobody out to an out.

[el duque]

91 mph fast ball, not elite but good enough for Ryu

[Terminator]

Woodward is so screwed this year. They spent a billion dollars to get a 60-win team to 70 wins and he'll no doubt get a disproportionate share of the blame for the team not competing. He'll probably get canned.
