Let’s get out to a big lead and not hand it back today. Just for fun.
Today’s lineup. No Springer or Chapman today. Espinal at the top of the order, Moreno catches, Kirk DHes, Biggio in at second.
Apparently, Chapman’s wrist is bothering him.
This weekend’s starters:
#BlueJays vs. Yankees probables…

Having fun always helps. We were also told that Vlad expected to be intentionally walked in the 10th inning. But when they didn’t, he knew he’d end the game.
While the team was in Detroit, George Springer asked Vladimir Guerrero Jr. - who wasn't satisfied with where he was offensively - this serious question:

"Are you having fun?"
Guerrero thought about it. He realized he needed to get back to enjoying the game the way he used to.
I don’t know that this means much, but it is cool.
Kevin Gausman's 77 strikeouts are the 3rd-most through a pitcher's first 12 games of their #BlueJays career:

Brandon Morrow - 74
Alek Manoah - 73
Robbie Ray - 73#NextLevel
Bad news for those of us who want a standardized strike zone. I doubt the pitch clock will debut next year, either. I don’t have any opinion on the pitch clock. Shifting I hope they never outlaw.
On the pitch clock, Rob Manfred said, "we are encouraged by the results in the minor leagues." But on both the clock and the shift, he did not go so far as to say he's going to move for it in 2023: "I don't want to prejudge the competition committee process."
