The Blue Jays will look to even the series against our 2016 ALCS arc-nemesis. The Jays will be up against drone boy “Tyler” Bauer and there’s nothing I’d love more than to see our dear friend get lit up. Get em, Jays.

We have some injury updates:

Dalton Pompey was also DFA’d today.

Here are today’s lineups for today’s YouTube only game. Gurriel gets the day off, Smoak moves up to 3rd, and Maile will catch for Aaron Sanchez.
