Toronto Blue Jays v. Omaha Storm Chasers; GM 4

[Solaxys]

 

===

The Royals have been a solid offensive team this season, ranked No. 14 in batting average (.244). They are without four of their top five batters this weekend due to the COVID-19 rules, though.

Shortstop Bobby Witt Jr., who has 85 hits and 13 home runs, is the only mainstay available. He is facing a Toronto pitching staff that is No. 19 with an ERA of 3.99.

Left-handed pitcher Kris Bubic is expected to start for Kansas City on Sunday. He allowed three runs on eight hits and two walks across 5.2 innings against Detroit on Tuesday.

Bubic has struggled this year, going 1-6 with a 6.63 ERA.

 

The Blue Jays have been an excellent offensive team, ranked second in the majors in batting average (.261).

They are led by shortstop Bo Bichette, who has 98 hits and 49 RBIs. First baseman Vlad Guerrero Jr. has hit 20 home runs and driven in 56 runs.

They are facing a Kansas City pitching staff that is No. 27 with an ERA of 4.82. Right-handed pitcher Jose Berrios is expected to start for Toronto on Sunday.

He allowed three earned runs on six hits and no walks while striking out a season-high 13 batters across six innings against Philadelphia on Tuesday. Berrios still has a disappointing 5.38 ERA overall this year, though.

Another lefty, ohhhhhhhhhh boy.

[JaysAllMighty]

Why the f*** is Springer not playing?

[JFD]

Tabler again... what happened to the other broadcast team?

[el duque]

Kansas asked to put a minor leaguer in our team to make it interesting so we put Zimmer

[Daniel Labude]

Why the f*** is Springer not playing?

 

Extra rest for his elbow

[Solaxys]

Good pitch; better hitting.

[JaysAllMighty]

s***** hits ffs

[Solaxys]

Two blooopz

[JaysAllMighty]

Extra rest for his elbow

 

Not like he has 4 days off after today.

[EdwinsParrot]

Getting royals’d to death

[Jonn]

Jose Jose Jose

[gruber92]

Different players and management, but that Royals f***ing BABIP luck is franchise engraved.

[gruber92]

Why not Tapia in CF instead of Zimmer?

 

Zimmer's bat is Inter County material.

[Jonn]

Why the f*** is Springer not playing?

 

So what I have determined is that this team really dislikes going on extended winning streaks. So they weaken the lineup after a potential season changing win for the extra challenge of winning more games

[JFD]

Why not Tapia in CF instead of Zimmer?

 

Need to reward Zimmer for his great baserunning yesterday.

[Solaxys]

Ah softy lefties, here we go.

[gruber92]

LOL.. Espy line drive for an out right out of the gate.

[JFD]

why are you swinging at that Vlad.. fk man

[Jonn]

Ok so that first inning sucked. Lets hope it gets better from here!

[gruber92]

Need to reward Zimmer for his great baserunning yesterday.

 

With Biggio and Tapia available but Zimmer still getting the start, I think it's safe to assume that Ross still has influence on the line up.

[JaysAllMighty]

Ok Berrios, settle the f*** down

[JFD]

welp f*** this game.. ill check back later lol

[Effit]

f*** off

[Daniel Labude]

Such a great job by KC pitching against the numbers. Guy barely throws a curve and throws it 30% of the time in the first

[Effit]

Such an infuriating team

[Eat My Shatkins]

Jesus f***ing christ can we not just f*** these AAA shitheads up for once? Does every game have to be a barn burner against this garbage?

[gruber92]

Players were looking forward to the break over a week ago it seems. C'mon offense, f*** this garbage pitching up.

[Jaysareus]

Too many players made the all Star game from this average Jays team. That will be the highlight of their season because they likely won't be making the playoffs

[JFD]

How is Bo late on 91.. twice. Embarrassing lol
