You’ve seen 2 weeks of Loperfido and instantly think he’s a better hitter than Varsho now lol. Gtfo here dude

Well how do you judge good hitting? Varsho is a below average hitter for his career. We don't know what Fido is yet, but Varsho doesn't set a very high bar to clear and at least Fido is hot and in the swing of the season unlike Varsho coming back from injury.

[Stangstag]

Great swing Lukes!

[G-Snarls]

Good start 

[HomeRunHomer]

Nice to get on the board early.

The high BABIP is unsustainable, that's how? Kid's on a heater, don't have to move him up above DV.

Bo never disappoints you

Promise to stop watching if they don’t sweep??

[Masterbather]

It's official, Myles Straw is more clutch than Vladdy. Then again so is almost everyone else apparently😄

[Stangstag]

Seemed like a dangerous send with 0 outs, but i’ll take it!

[Spanky__99]

Jays in Flight!

Had to bring the towel out in the first inning to ensure a good start.

[dancingmachine]

Well at least vlad didn't hit into a double play

Sure but that doesn't change the fact that Varsho is not a good hitter and coming back from injury. I don't think it's that big of a deal but he responded as if the notion that Fido hitting ahead of Varsho is laughable and it really isn't.

Febles is a pretty good 3b coach. He's not Luis do the opposite of what I say Rivera

[dancingmachine]

Captain Kirk nice

[jaysthebest]

Varsho should bat 9th....

[Spanky__99]

Bo and Kirky know hittin'.

K.....

[jmomcc]

How much could the jays change the park dimensions? 
 

i was thinking in the comerica series that it really suited the traits of our team. Maybe similar for coors.

Yea.

I had to check because I'm not familiar with Freeman in RF, he has an average arm.  left or center and Febles is holding Lukes at 3b

[dancingmachine]

Hopefully Lauer has a good game we need it

[neverbeenhere]

that should be an error on Barger 

[Masterbather]

Seems Colorado is not an ideal place for Laurer to pitch. 

I guess the cutter will play, but his changeup is probably his worst pitch and that's a pitch that would play in Colorado. 

Otherwise he's looking at spin to try and get guys out.

He's never done good there I'm watching the Rockies stream and they mentioned it
