Game #3 GameThread: Jays @ Cards

MLB: Toronto Blue Jays at St. Louis Cardinals Jeff Curry-USA TODAY Sports

The rubber match of our opening three-game series.

Chris Bassitt games the start. He was 15-9 with a 3.42 ERA in 30 starts for the Mets last year.

Lefty Jordan Montgomery starts for the Cardinals. He was 9-6 with a 3.48 ERA in 32 starts split between the Yankees and Cardinals.

Adam Wainwright, as well as being a national anthem singer, seems to be a nice guy:

Schneider has changed around the lineup a little facing the left. Varsho to center, Jansen catching, Espinal at second, Merrifield in left. The surprising thing to me is Varsho still hitting cleanup.

Today's Lineups

If you would like to volunteer to hit cleanup for us and do the GameThreads, send me a note.

We are glad you are here and hope you feel welcome. As a reminder, we have rules. Mostly it’s “don’t be terrible.” 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 not offering him money to promote a sports betting site. We also have a BBB Glossary full of GameThread lingo you can find here.
