Washing down my blood pressure pill with a Red Bull: GameThread for Game 46: Mariners @ Blue Jays

Dan Hamilton-USA TODAY Sports
I don't know about you, but I could really do with a win.
Today we have Aaron Sanchez (3-4, 4.17 ERA) going up against Taijuan Walker (1-4, 7.47). Maybe Walker can get our bats going.
Neither Jose is in the lineup today. I don't understand not activating Reyes, if he can play he should play. Bautista...well, he might be out a couple of days:

Edwin is DH. Justin Smoak gets a rare start. He has 4 hits in just 19 at bats in May.
It doesn't get better:


Lineup

BLUE JAYS MARINERS
Josh Donaldson, 3B Brad Miller, 2B
Russell Martin, C Seth Smith, LF
Edwin Encarnacion, DH Robinson Cano, DH
Chris Colabello, LF Nelson Cruz, RF
Justin Smoak, 1B Kyle Seager, 3B
Ezequiel Carrera, RF Logan Morrison, 1B
Kevin Pillar, CF Welington Castillo, C
Ryan Goins, SS Dustin Ackley, CF
Munenori Kawasaki, 2B Chris Taylor, SS

The title comes from a James McMurtry song "How'm I Gonna Find You Now" off his terrific album "Complicated Game". It would be a great choice for country music day, but I couldn't get that lucky. Hugo used to us song lyrics for post titles and I thought I'd bring back that tradition for GameThreads, picking lyrics off of one album per series.
GO JAYS GO!


Remember we have rules here. Mostly don't be terrible (it seems like a small thing to ask). No arguing with the Mods, you have a problem, email Tom, but in the thread, let's not debate rules.
