Can Scherzer back up his 10K performance from last weekend? Let's hope so!!!

So, pen usage pretty straightforward if its a close game. Sewald/Flu doing the matchup thing to bridge to the Miles/Rogers/Varland 7-8-9. 

Could also use Mantiply as an inning ending loogy. Even if Scherzer only goes 5, theres enough arms to get through 4 without any of then being pushed 

[james jones]

Damn, this team literally has a 2-man rotation as of today. Cease-Soriano-???

If Scherzer cannot give the Jays consistent 5 IP, they have to rely on Spaghetti and other bullpen guys.

We should be able to put up some runs on Lugo.  These aren't the red hot Royales we faced back in Toronto. 

Edit: watch Lugo pitch a gem now that I put this out there.

Mantiply pitched 2 innings yesterday, doubt he's available at all. The leverage guys are good to go this weekend. 😉

Max has been giving them a consistent 5, only start in August he didn't was when Jesus screwed him over against Tampa

The royals are so bad we can probably just call it a win.  So hopefully the tigers can win a game 

[Spanky__99]

Win today Boys and chalk off another series win...
 

 

[SeranthonySantander]

Ok good start Detroit.  1 time just win a game.  
 

tigers have set a record by blowing a lead 8th inning or later, 68 times 

they just needed a closer and they could have been a 100 win team

This is the Royals - we must beat them up

[DownSouthBlueJay]

Vladdy with the hustle

[Omar]

Kirky's wheels sending the Royals into a panic.

[Slade]

Nice running plays by Vladdy and Kirk. 

[ComeTogether]

Too bad Bateman got picked off. 

At least they are cashing in runs regardless with 2 outs.

If Bateman doesn’t get picked off butterfly effect changes whole outcome and we maybe get 0 runs 

[Slade]

Good start! We could really use some Scherzer magic tonight.

Vlad possesses a fantastic slide game around home plate. I thought he was going to be out by a ton on that play but the great slide allowed him to avoid the tag.

you are right, but are you sure you can call that a butterfly effect?

[ComeTogether]

Max needs to settle down

Everything is a butterfly effect 

it’s just annoying when someone gets caught stealing then they homer on the next pitch and everyone is like oh no we lost a run

that home run pitch wouldn’t have come without that precious sequence of events
