The Jays are going not only for the series sweep, but the season series sweep. Atlanta fans will be happy to see the Jays bid adieu and head home.

9:20am feels too early for baseball for me, but here we are.

Here are today’s lineups. Grichuk gets an off day, Davis will be starting in center and McGuire is catching.

We are glad you are here and hope you feel welcome. As a reminder, we have rules. Mostly it’s “don’t be terrible,” but these days it’s also, “please debate about baseball and not the coronavirus or vaccines.” If a moderator asks you to stop doing something, please stop. If you want to discuss the rules, don’t do it in the thread. Email Tom instead. We also have a BBB Glossary full of GameThread lingo you can find here. You can Adopt-a-Jay here, and here’s a helpful tutorial on how to post images in the comments.
