Clement not in the lineup was totally expected. At least DS is in today.

 

Also intrigued to see how Turner fares at 3B

[BTS]

Those are certainly some lineup choices

I had actually talked myself into thinking he'd be in over Biggio today.

[hanton]

good or bad that's one interesting line-up, they put some thought into it

[Carlos Danger]

I really wonder how much the line up card is JS or FO. You have to think the $ paid for IKF just to have him rot on the bench is not an image the FO would be fond of.

[BTS]

I think this is what we were all talking about yesterday with the team weirdly swinging through a bunch of belt high cutters, which I guess are classified as sliders.

 

[glory]

The only way IKF gets less than 500 PA is if he gets hurt, so we have to get used to him being in the lineup.

[Carlos Danger]

Hope we get the split today!

 

About to take off on a flight to Maui (spring break) so won’t be able to watch much this week.

 

Go Jays!

[BatFlip]

Gaus splitter about to split this series. Let's goooooo

[Windowclosing]

It’s great that varsho is now hitting 5th. He was usually always a 8/9 hitter. Good for him.

[CJ-Freeway]

Let's f***in go!!!!! Time to split the series!!!

[Terminator]

A lot of weird lineup choices

 

This is going to sound like a joke but if they wanted to play Biggio they should have just batted him leadoff so he at least gets the splits advantage the first time around

 

Now when he gets his first AB it’s probably against a lefty

[burlingtonbandit]

How is IKF in the lineup over Ernie. Ernie was the only bright spot yesterday.

[L54]

How is IKF in the lineup over Ernie. Ernie was the only bright spot yesterday.

 

There’s fifteen million reasons why

 

They won’t admit defeat. He will be trotted out there for 450+ AB’s regardless

[burlingtonbandit]

IKF doesn't even put up a good AB. There is nothing about him that even looks like an average hitter, even in the Spring it was a lot s*** contact falling in for base hits.

[bluejaysinternNo5]

I mean I get it - it's the beginning of the season. The first month is where you experiment. I would hope Atkins is aware of the sunk cost fallacy. Sucks though because IKF definitely would have gotten like 5M over 1 year if Atkins didn't jump on him.

[Terminator]

Bo is a late scratch

[Spanky99]

Bo is a late scratch

 

Oof...

 

[Stangstag]

Welp, looks like Clement IS playing after all.

[Laika]

Could be a circus on defense holy f***

[CJ-Freeway]

Oof...

 

 

Holy f*** lol.

[Stangstag]

Could be a circus on defense holy f***

 

Nobody is playing out of position aside from maybe Biggio.

 

Everyone overreacting to Turner making 1 bad play yesterday.

[Terminator]

interesting that Clement gets SS over IKF

[Stangstag]

I don’t think Clement has many reps at 2nd? Plus they had planned for IKF to play 2nd.

 

Im actually kinda more surprised they didn’t swap IKF and Turner defensively.

 

Is Turner better at 3rd or 2nd? Mostly played 2nd and 1st last year.

Turner is a bad 3B

Biggio is not a natural OF

Schneider is not a natural LF

Clement, who knows at SS probably fine but still an unknown

Guerrero is just a walking circus in all facets

IKF is a clown signing even if he's good at D

[Omar]

Schneider never rides the hot hand. It's a thing with him (or whomever fills the lineup card). Clement could hit for the cycle today and maybe riding the pine tomorrow. 5d chess for retards.

LET'S GO JAYS!!!

 

[Spanky99]

3 games for Sega. He's appealing, buys the team some time at least.
