With the pen being a little thin it would be nice if the bats would come to life.  It's time for VGJ to start crushing some baseballs.

[Brownie19]

must win today.

Ernie Clement hitting 5th 😅

[mphenhef]

That lineup is disgusting...and not in the good way.

[PitaBaby]

The bottom half of the lineup is tough to look at.

No need to clarify, the current construction of this team even at their best does not allow them to have a disgusting line up in a good way.

[Governator]

I can't believe I'm getting to say this, Springer is missed in that line up

[RobinThicc]

Lineup looks horrific lol

 

easy W

[glory]

Bad lineup + Lucas on the mound part III. Too bad the Jays aren't facing the other team's best SP this time around. 

[Jays24]

That's your AL East leading lineup folks... sustainable winning will be easy to do lol

It's like looking at KC's lineup the past 2 years.  Without roids, offense just seems so sh*tty around baseball.  It's really not good for the game to be honest.  People want to see runs scored.

[Terminator]

Getting Varsho back will help.

He's not an offensive powerhouse by any means but he does provide power and chips in a little offensively with his baserunning as well. And of course there's his defense.

So taking one of the 1 WAR types we have and putting a 3 WAR Varsho in over him is a pretty big improvement.

My god, they just keep throwing Easton Lucas to the wolves. Absurd lineup for a guy who should be needing the offensive support. I suppose the defense is maximized for the most part with Clement, Straw and Lukes all in there.

In the words of the great Earl Weaver, "Get them big **********s who can hit the f***in' ball out of the ballpark and you can't make any goddamn mistake".

Going to the game on Wednesday to see Strider!

Should be a fun series!

Here's hoping you see him implode.

[HomeRunHomer]

Lineup is rough.  We are going to need our $500m slugger to hit his first homerun of the season tonight.

Will probably need him to hit his first 3 tonight.

[Grant77]

Is this the worst offensive outfield that the Blue Jays have ever fielded?

[infinitebook]

Gimenez and Ernie are two of our best contact guys that are also fast, prob just hoping they will be able to drive some runs in if the top of the order can get on. 

[Grant77]

This Braves starter has the best first name I have seen since Balfour was on the Rays. Hopefully he gets lit up.

Wow there's a question. 

In fairness, there are injuries to factor in. There must have been some game at some point where we had injuries and put out a god-awful AAAA lineup, maybe even in September back when we had large expended rosters or after a clinching scenario to rest players. But it's still hard to imagine a cast of characters that have been worse offensively than those three.
