Yesterday, I was on a work zoom call that started the same time the Jays game did. With periodic checks, I saw there was a lot of video tributes, a lot of awards, and a lot of delaying the game start time. Eventually, the brief glances were of Jose Berríos’s less than stellar start, and I didn’t feel so bad about missing it anymore.
The call finally ended in the 5th, and you all know what happened there. I was able to watch the last couple innings with my mom over FaceTime. What a way to start the season.
Is it too early in the season for injury updates? We’ve got ‘em, anyway:
Blue Jays still plan to stretch Pearson out to a starter’s workload. Will take some time as he’s essentially restarting spring training progression.

Whether he’s starting or pitching bulk outings out of bullpen upon return will depend on club’s circumstances, needs at the time.
Here are today’s lineups. Kirk will catch for Kevin Gausman, Tapia gets a start, and Gurriel will DH.
GO JAYS GO!
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. And if the Jays taught us anything on Opening Day, it’s that they’re always still in it.
