I remember last year when Minor Leaguer was here, and we watched the Jays sweep the Yankees in a four game series at Yankee Stadium. It’s super nice to have that happen again (minus no Minor Leaguer being here).

Go get ‘em, boys.

Here are this afternoon’s lineups.

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, he would love to see an email that isn’t offering him money to promote a sports betting site. 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 (so please, no “Game Over” comments until the game is actually over.
