Different look to the Jays lineup today

I worry about Teo today. Feel like he's gonna get a hold of one

Apparently just keep throwing him breaking balls. He has not looked good against off speed

Even Teo will square one up if that's all he sees. But even if he does, I hope it's a solo shot.

LETS GO BLUE JAYS *CLAP, CLAP* *CLAP, CLAP, CLAP*

Less than two hours to game time and no lineup posted by the M's. Perhaps waiting until the last minute to make a call on whether JRod is good to go?

yes, possibly a game time decision

[Solaxys]

Not been announced as a move yet but Taylor Trammell is in Mariners' clubhouse.

Seems the case based on what this M's reporter is saying

[Jimcanuck]

The sole question is probably whether J-Rod can DH or not

[JaysAllMighty]

I very much doubt it, Bassitt has so many pitches he will be easily fooled.

 

 

[Pendleton]

No JRod today according to this Mariners beat writer, possibly no Ty France as well. Trammell is indeed going to be playing

Mariners swap starters on the day of for the express purpose of messing with the Jays and not putting out a lineup until the next game starts. You almost never see that, especially in April. They always put out a lineup and then change it.

 

It would be interesting to ask a baseball person if this is some kind of gamesmanship or breach of baseball etiquette. Maybe it doesn't matter at all, it's just unusual.

Yeah I'm curious if there's an official rule or maybe an unspoken one, regarding when you should have your lineup set. Really not sure, but it seems to be causing more unrest in their own fanbase (search for Mariners lineup on twitter) than anything.

 

 

Lots of pissed off Mariners fans right now, we might be the tipping point for two fanbases in a row if this one goes our way.

I would love to hear a Mariners call in the model of that White Sox rant. They have more material to work with than any other fanbase so it could be good.

[Solaxys]

Easton McGee placed on IL for Right Forearm Strain. Dude really gave it all against us.

Major league money! Good for him

[L54]

Man that M’s lineup is pretty terrible.

 

Swanny out WAR’ing Teo

[Grant77]

Taking two of the five above average hitters out of a lineup that leads the league in K% and has a 91 wRC+ bodes well for Bassitt.

 

Seattle hitting .195/.271/.334 for a 74 wRC+ and >30 K% since April 16th.

[Jonn]

Jays need to score runs today. Won't have Romano or Swanson available out of the pen later. They both pitched back to back days in his high leverage situations.

You think that will stop the Schneids? Think again.

That makes sense in theory and I'm gonna hope it plays out exactly like that

[Jays24]

Bassitt could be putting up a perfect game through 7 innings on 60 pitches and this management will opt for the bullpen lol

[Jonn]

I mean it should not trying to get relievers injured in April games. Jays typically have not used relievers in 3 straight days.

[Solaxys]

f***ing ump.

[Jonn]

We can’t get robo umps fast enough.

[Jonn]

That was another strike

[Solaxys]

omfg. How many Ks does Bassitt need to get?!

[John_Havok]

2 strikeouts taken away by the ump…inside corner is just not there against lefties
