Blame mlb.com for this one.

[CJ-Freeway]

Sportsbooks are listing us as slight underdogs for today's game. Let's prove 'em wrong! Go Jays!! 😃

The Captain batting third today...

 

 

[Spanky__99]

Yeah, and Lauer is starting and Turnbull is listed as the bulk reliever.

[Laika]

Hopefully Lauer can give them 4 innings and they don't need much from Turnbull. Maybe Fisher + Little + YRod can get them to the finish line with no reason to use any scrubs like Green or Swanson

I have a feeling the Blue Jays really weren't comfortable with what they saw from Turnbull, but their hand was forced and they had to bring him up, so they have Laurer going first in the hopes that he can pitch the bulk of the innings. I think that's why they haven't yanked Francis from the rotation yet which I think they would have done if they felt Turnbull was really ready.

I can see Schultz being recalled from Buffalo for a SIRP on Francis' start.

Talk about stacking the righties against Liberatore. Makes sense, as expected he's much worse against the opposite handedness, and it helps that two of the guys are switch hitters to not hurt the late game pinch hitting opportunities. Ernie is 100% being PH for Barger if the need arises, Robertson might see a shot for either Schneider or Straw.

Lukes to the 7 day Concussion Protocol

[Spanky__99]

Blue Jays 9th place among all MLB teams... feels good! Go Jays Go!!!

[Omar]

If Kirk goes yard today he is getting plunked.

[Spanky__99]

Jesus Lauer, dude?

[Masterbather]

Less than ideal start.

[Spanky__99]

Alright, no more charity runs please... GO BIRDS GO!!!

 

[Orgfiller]

Silly mistake from Lauer, but we can get that run back.

[neverbeenhere]

got to bring in this one

[Spanky__99]

Ernie... Ernie... Ernie... Lets Go!

[Spanky__99]

Straighten that out a bit Straw, that was gone,

[neverbeenhere]

pity

[Jaysman]

Shame, Lauer was a strike away from a nice inning there. Need some innings from him but need him to be better than giving up a run per inning.

[Spanky__99]

Nice hustle Heiny!

[Omar]

On the board!!

[neverbeenhere]

Everything starts with Bo

[Spanky__99]

Bo knows hittin' Jays in Flight folks!
